A day with a guide rockpooling and birdwatching on a Northumberland beach
We just had a ball, Andy (our NATURETREK guide) was knowledgeable friendly and good fun. In the rock pools we found everything from quite large lobsters and crabs to tiny sponges and sea anemones. Hermit crabs were endlessly amusing On the beach and in the sea Chris identified 35 different birds.

We have used NATURETREK on several occasions. Their days out and longer trips are always well organised and good value. Their guides are knowledgable and keen to share their knowledge. When, due to COVID, things have to be cancelled, NATURETREK have a no nonsense and flexible approach, whether that involves rebooking or a cash refund





Day trip to Frampton Marsh with the Warden
Just brillant - fantastic birds and excellent background to the reserve and its management from the Warden. Great day!

So well organised and helpful - love going on their holidays - so many to choose from, it's difficult





An excellent day trip
An excellent day trip, covering not only the saltmarshes of the Colne estuary but also other contrasting habitats nearby. Our guide Chris had comprehensive knowledge of the birds, insects and plants in all of these.

Mid-Norfolk Heaths
A day trip exploring the flora and fauna of a specific area of Norfolk - an area I didn't know at all.

Naturetrek...I have travelled with them many times and the organisation from booking to the actual holiday have always been first class. Two holidays in the past have had to be cancelled...one due to the Icelandic volcano a few years ago and another due to COVID last year. On both occasions I was fully reimbursed with no hassle - the mark of a quality company





Very good day out
I took a day trip with morning boat rise around Chichester Harbour and afternoon walk round Pagham RSPB Reserve with Naturetrek. All went to plan. There was a manageably small group of 7 guests and a naturalist leader who was both very pleasant and very knowledgeable. All fine.

NatureTrek: all fine. No complaints.





Butterflies galore!
Wonderful day trip near Painswick with Duncan Dine. We saw a wide variety of butterflies and lots of broad leaved helleborines.

Naturetrek offers a wide variety of small group wildlife holidays of differing lengths in the UK and abroad. The leaders are very knowledgeable and friendly. The office staff are responsive and helpful, it has always been possible to get through easily on the phone.





The Wild Side of Essex
We spent a day walking around the Colne Estuary, starting at Wivenhoe, with an expert guide who provided information on the history, geology and natural history of the area. Impressively, he was able to answer all of the questions posed by the group, some quite challenging, and introduced us to a range of rare plants explaining why they were there. For me it was an introduction to a beautiful part of the country that I now appreciate with ...

For me it was an introduction to a beautiful part of the country that I now appreciate with some understanding. I hope day trips like these will continue because they help us to understand and appreciate the fascinating variety of life that can be found in our own country.

Naturetrek, as always, provided their welcoming, considerate and excellent all round service.





Day Visit to Ashdown Forest
We spent the day looking for birds and insects in the forest. I especially loved finding the dragonflies and insects and gaining information about everything we saw and heard.

Bob Eade was our leader for the day and he was extremely knowledgeable about the birds and insects we saw and he knew likely places and trees to find them. He could also recognise all the bird calls we heard. He was very friendly and pleasant and it was a pleasure to walk in the forest with him and learn more about nature.





Breckland walk with Mike Crewe of NatureTrek
A secret birthday present day out walking in the Brecks, Norfolk, and on Thompson Heath, Norfolk, to see flora and fauna specific to the areas visited. I really cannot commend Mike Crewe, the tour leader, too highly. He was exceptionally well-informed and friendly at the same time. I would be delighted to have another walking day with him as tour leader.
