Good birding in poor weather conditions
A 10 day birding tour via the Atlas Mountains & sub Sahara terrain. Mainly 1 night stops in 3 star hotels as a large area covered.

First time that I’ve travelled with Naturetrek but my husband has been on a number of other tours. He did feel that this trip wasn’t as well organised as previously.





Great nature and wildlife experience
Travelled to Tarifa in southern spain to primarily watch the migrating birds over the straits of Gibralter

NatureTrek go above and beyond to make an exceptional wildlife adventure. They focus on taking clients to the right place at the right time for the wildlife with experienced guides





Wildlife of the Lune Estuary Day Trip
Day spent around a number of locations on the Lune Estuary looking mainly at birds but other wildlife such as hares.

Our guide has excellent local knowledge and knew exactly where to take us to see a wide range of species, rounding off the day with excellent views of a short eared owl that turned up right on cue!





Excellent birding experience in Norfolk
It was a 5 day Naturetrek trip to Norfolk coast and the Broads in search of winter birds.

Very efficient booking system and it offered collection from Norwich Station which was good for me travelling a long distance from the southwest. The trip was varied and interesting. Leaders were knowledgeable and helpful.





A life affirming trip
A voyage down the Baha Peninsula a Marine Biosphere, and into the Sea of Cortez. We were able to have close encounters with Grey Whales, and have sightings of Blue Whales, and a variety of other Marine life, during this adventure. There was also opportunities to learn about the Bird life and Natural History of the area. The Captain and entire crew were superb, with safety foremost at all times. Both guides were excellent with a wealth of knowledge ...

We had not previously travelled with Nature Trek , but we found them to be very professional, and our trip was well planned regarding itinerary and options available. They were very conscientious and changed our hotel to a different one, as they felt standards had slipped with the original planned accommodation. We were kept well informed of pre departure requirements, passenger locations forms, covid testing , and visas.. and help was offered as necessary during the trip.





A stunning wildlife holiday in Costa Rica
A wonderful two weeks travelling in Costa Rica, staying in the most fabulous locations and being guided by the most extraordinarily talented bird spotter. The highlights were varied and many... watching the leaf-cutter ants busily going about their work, standing in the rain forest with howler monkeys all around us ... a surround sound experience, watching brown boobies diving to catch flying fish in the air whilst dolphins stirred the water ...

A great day
Our knowledgeable guide, Oliver, took us to some great hides & viewpoints thereby ensuring that we saw a wide range of different birds.

Great organisation both before the trip and on the day.





Bucket list magic of migration
Have always wanted to see the migration over the straits of Gibralterand after the nightmare of two years of pandemic incarceration grabbed at the chance to finally get there. Such wonderful sights and knowledge passed on by two great naturalists. I left with a tear in my eye, not wanting to return home - but that's the sign of a great holiday, that you leave with regrets. I'll definitely reurn - I hear the autumn migration is a sight to see!

Have felt for Naturetrek in the dreadful times of the pandemic, would they survive? But survive they did and were enterprising and inventive about how to support themselves and their tour guide partners. I've never yet been disappointed by a Naturetrek holiday.
