Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Educational, active and inspirational. Great accommodation and food. Pleasant small group of people.

We like using Naturetrek for our holidays as many of their tours suit our particular tastes and interests.

After an interesting day on a guided tour of Quito a short flight to the Galápagos Islands and a two week cruise around the iconic Islands on a friendly little boat - Cachalote Explorer - with the most brilliant of Naturalist Guides, Juan Tapia, who’s enthusiasm is unbounded and knowledge encyclopaedic. Unbelievable snorkelling with shoals of tropical fish - imagine swimming in an aquarium - rays, sea lions and 4 species of shark. Follow this with 3 days in the rainforest staying at a superb ecolodge with daily excursions into the surrounding ecosystem.

Our initial email enquiry was answered within hours, despite the ongoing lockdown, and in all subsequent calls or emails our queries were answered promptly and thoroughly. Their initial information pack was very comprehensive but readily understood from recommended packing lists to flight information and the pre-departure pack left nothing out. All the overseas arrangements, collections, guides, cars etc were faultless.

5 day trip to northern Sweden. Spotting moose, reindeer and other wildlife. Searching for northern lights. Afternoon dog sledding and a wonderful night in a Sampi lavvu, followed by an opportunity to try cross country skiing and snow shoeing. Fabulous trip, excellent tour leader and great food

Tour run by Naturetrek in association with local operator Wild Sweden. Both were excellent

I have had to cancel my Poland Birdwatching trip due to health reasons. I have written to them explaining what has occurred and the ongoing treatments I am having. I have evidence. I have asked to postpone my trip to next May. There is just the one trip each year. However they claim there rules do not allow me to postopne or defer any trips. this means I lose my deposit of £400. When I booked the trip last September, I had no idea that I would develop a severe condition preventing me from walking any distance with out pain. I also now need to restirct my diet for a few months while treatemtn is explored. .

Not especially helpful.

The holiday from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon was for a group of 8, guided by a bird and wildlife expert. With a 7 am start to an evening drive finishing at 11pm, we walked or drove to many different habitats in the Forest of Dean searching for birds and other wildlife. The 60 species of bird and 5 species of mammal sighted, discussed and recorded will be a lasting memory, with scarce birds such as Goshawk, Hawfinch and brambling being most notable.

Naturetrek is a long established tour operator focusing on wildlife worldwide. Comfort and safety for guests is paramount, while the wildlife and their habitats are treated with care and respect.

It was only 3 days but we had a packed itinerary to see over 60 different bird species. The real attraction for the trip was to see a starling murmuration and that did not disappoint.

As a nature and wildlife enthusiast, Naturetrek are one of the best tour operators for me. I was impressed by the experience and enthusiasm of the tour leader - and that is so important to nature holidays. It was excellent value for money given the itinerary and the accommodation/food.

Weekend birdwatching (and mammals) in Forest of Dean with very knowledgeable leader and interesting companions in small group. Wonderful opportunity to see and learn about the area and the wildlife living there.

Extremely professional, great communication and organisation of holiday. Lived up to expectations set

Excellent bird watching experience. Well managed.

Naturetrek wildlife holiday specialists.

A well organised tour beyong the arctic circle in Sweden. A good balance of wildlife and and cultural interactions. A knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide.

This is our 5th tour with Naturetrek. They manage their operation extremely well and tours are usually top quality. On the rare occassion there are problems, they sort them out quickly and provide refunds where appropriate. There have been no issues reorganising tours as a consequence of cancellations arising from the pandemic.

This was a day trip aroundChichester Harbour and Pagham; with a small group. We saw a really good variety of birds and the morning boat trip around the harbour also provided some fascinating information about the part the area played in the D-Day operation. it gave us an opportunity to appreciate the extent of the harbour and to see large numbers of birds (and some seals) on the mud at low tide which would not have been accessible frrm the shore. We had an experienced and helpful guide who found numerous birds. In the afternoon he was able to identify birds at some distance using his telescope which he focused patiently for us.

Naturetrek are experienced wildlife tour operators who offer group and tailor-made holidays in the UK and internationally. in the UK they now have a programme of day trips and short holidays in addition to their longer tours. They provide experienced guides and the holidays we have been on - from day trips to longer holidays abroad, have always been well organised. They are also helpful in responding to queries whether this is concerning a specific holiday or a more general enquiry.. Their tours may include some visits to historical sites and other places of interest, sometimes with optional extensions to the 'standard' itinerary available.
