Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

A two centre wildlife holiday in the habitat of the Iberian lynx, deer, otter and mouflon with opportunities to see vultures, the Spanish Imperial Eagle and other raptors. Experienced and expert tour guides ensure that the trip runs smoothly, needs are met and all opportunities to view wildlife and the area are maximised to the full. Good accommodation and food included, with opportunities to fly from local airports and to extend the trip if requested.

Efficient and well organised operation, with professional and helpful staff. Good pre-briefing pack with comprehensive tour information and guidance. Expert and experienced tour guides. Opportunities to take alternative flights and extend the stay are all accommodated and efficiently managed.

A two centre holiday searching for Iberian lynx and other wildlife, based firstly at El Rocio for Coco Donana then close to Anduja National Park in the Sierra Morena. Our small group of 11 was led by two expert guides who helped us find over 100 bird species and several mammals including long range views of Iberian lynx. The hotels were good with excellent food provided by Compleo Turistico Los Pinos

Naturetrek provide excellent guides and operate as far as possible in a sustainable manner. They try to support local operators and companies that assist in the conservation of nature

Holiday was Go Slow in Fuerteventura, a Naturetrek birding holiday where we saw the four species that are special to the island and almost all the bird species on the island in a relaxed week, plus a couple of unexpected bonus vagrant species.

Naturetrek arranged a local flight departure and provided an excellent, very experienced and entertaining leader.

Brilliant opportunity to sample a variety of wildlife, scenery and culture in Ecuador. Outstanding wildlife viewing with enthusiastic local guide and driver, who looked after us very well. Interesting and varied accommodation and local food were also features.

Ran this holiday at normal group price for two of us - presumably to keep faith with clients and local tour operators. Two more joined in the week before departure and all arrangements went smoothly. Generally good communications and accurate descriptions of what to expect. Naturetrek have proved reliable over many years: this is my twelfth holiday with them.

Looking for mammals, birds, ansd plants with expert enthuiastic guides

NatureTrek Holiday Some disruption due to storms but the guides did not let this spoil the holiday and went way out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time and got safely to their destinations,

Bird-oriented guided tour of region North West of Stockholm (Black River Valley). Visited a number of forest feeding stations, saw some interesting localised Northern European species (eg Siberian Jay, Three-toed Woodpecker, Nutcracker), some uncommon birds occurring in Britain (Crossbill, Brambling, Hawfinch) including several species having Northern races (Long-tailed Tit, Willow Tit, Nuthatch, Mealy Redpoll). We were also fortunate to see 3 Great Grey Shrikes and a couple of Elk.

Naturetrek provided good communication prior to the trip so that we were prepared for the journey, border control and climate. Our guide looked after us and was clearly an expert in the regional wildlife, including helping to maintain the impressive feeding stations.

What a week! Despite the rain on the first day and the unpredictable forecast for the next few days making planning extremely challenging, we finally endured a battering from storm Eunice. However, the starlings put on an amazing show and the enthusiasm and optimism of our leaders was infectious among the group. Although it was not the anticipated holiday experience, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Excellent customer service.

Weekend break to see birds and other wildlife in Forest of Dean. Expert knowledge of area by guide helped group to see and identify birds. Hotel was comfortable with excellent food.

Helpful and answered all booking queries before holiday.

Visited an interesting variety of wildlife habitats, with much to see. Excellent guiudes meant that we saw much more than we would have done on our own, and guides appreciated that many of us wanted to see all sorts of things & weren't just birders wanting ticks for our life lists.

We have travelled several times with Naturetrek: very impressed by their strong conservation ethics, well-chosen destinations & itineraries, very competent & personable guides & assiduous care for their clients.

We had a wonderful day out bird watching on the Somerset Levels, with a total tally of 61 bird species. Our trip was organised by Naturetrek, who in my opinion are one of the best operators when it comes to Natural History tours. Our guide - Oliver Smart was extremely knowledgeable and we all learnt lots on the day, which will be very useful on future outings. I would highly recommend this trip and Naturetrek to anyone interested in Birding and Natural History.

Naturetrek - we have travelled with Naturetrek before and they are my go to tour operator for Natural History trips. Highly professional, seamless communication and organisation. Their guides are second to none. I recommend them to all. Their website is a mine of information and easy to navigate. They deserve all the accolades they have received.
