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 ...

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.





Spring migration of raptors in Andalucia
Excellent location to see the spectacle of thousands of raptors crossing the Straits of Gibraltar. Our guides were very knowledgeable and varied our itinerary to be in the best spots at the best times.

Norfolk Winter in the Broads Birdwatching.
Naturetrek Holiday. Mike Crewe the guide was absolutely fantastic. He was so focused on giving us the best views and opportunities to see wildlife I was truly impressed and from this experience I can see me joining Nature trek on many more wildlife holidays in the Uk and abroad. The accommodation and friendliness of our hosts was also fantastic.

Weekend Wildlife Adventure
I spent a great two days discovering the wildlife of the Forest of Dean. With the weather favourable and an excellent guide leading, we tracked down around 70 bird species including at least 10 Iād not previously seen. Our base was ideally located and enabled quick access to several varied and often spectacular sites. We packed an awful lot in, but were never rushed and this allowed a fuller appreciation of both the area and its abundant wildlife...

Naturetrek provided first class pre tour information. Booking was very straightforward and everything ran very smoothly in the field. Accommodation provided was of a high standard. Food was very good. Restricting the group number to 8 also enhanced the overall enjoyment.
