Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

an excellent trip well organised and an excellent leader - Brian Small

been on many good trips

A very enjoyable week exploring Switzerland and enjoying the wildlife. The flower meadows were stunning as werthe snow capped mountains. The two guides were knowledgeable and great company.

Have travelled with Naturetrek many times. Itineraries are always well planned. Everything is taken care of by excellent tour leaders. Website is very informative and easy to navigate and office staff are friendly and helpful.

Led nature walks to observe and identify birds, mammals, butterflies and plants in the Swiss Alps

Naturetrek is a world leader in wildlife holidays. It offers clear information about what to expect on the holiday, friendly and professional responses to queries and special needs, excellent tour leaders with outstanding wildlife identification skills and local knowledge, comfortable hotel, and well organised travel arrangements

We spent a week in the Swiss Alps with excellent and highly experienced nature guides. They were very patient in explaining everything we saw, and even prepared a picnic feast for us every day out in the field.

There were problems on the return journey due to a storm and Naturetrek ably and efficiently rearranged flights and onward travel for those affected. They were also proactive in helping and supporting those of us who had made our own travel arrangements.

Nine days on board MV Quest sailing around Svalbard with a view to spotting as much Arctic wildlife as possible. We saw, inter alia, four polar bears, Bowhead and Beluga whales, Arctic foxes, reindeer, walruses and a quantity of different birds. We explored different parts of Spalbard by zodiac, disembarking and exploring the range of tundra on foot. And of course we enjoyed sensational land- and seascape.

Naturetrek’s UK office provided ample coherent information pre-departure. Their three accompanying experts were superb at wildlife-spotting day and night. They were also efficient at chaperoning and troubleshooting.

A journey through UlaanBaatar to Dalanzadgad in the southeast Gobi to visit the Khavaitsgait Petroglyphs, Tigrigin Shiree & Flaming Cliffs. In UB we visited the Mongolian Institute of Paleontology and had a private visit & tour of their collection of dinosaur fossils and archive, including the ' fighting dinosaurs' exhibit - acknowledged as one of the top 10 dinosaur exhibits globally. We travelled by private chauffer driven car with a guide and a specialist paleontologist.

Natureteek UK linked with Mongolia Quest for this tour. We stayed at the Bayangol Hotel in UlaanBaatar for 3 nights and the Mirage Ger Camp in the S.E. Gobi. Accommodation & food were very varied and high standard, including for one person on a gluten-free diet. Nothing appeared to be any trouble for the opators or guide. An outstanding experience.

Naturetrek exceeded my expectations arranging my holiday to Svalbard.

Provided excellent pre departure information and felt very well looked after by the staff throughout my holiday.

A 12 day trip to the heart of unspoilt rain forest, explored by track and river. Fantastic opportunities to view and photograph a range of wonderful animals and birds. Our guide and leader Henry Sapinggi provided excellent organisational and caring leadership, in addition to brilliant guiding and a huge range of natural history knowledge and context. Highlights included a viewing of the very elusive Sunda Clouded Leopard and 30 min spent in the company of a lovely young female Orangutan at the side of the river.

Naturetrek were efficient and informative, providing a wonderful holiday that more than exceeded my expectations. They were also very responsive to the few queries I had.

Stayed in Bettmeralp in the Valais, Switzerland only accessible by cable car. Friendly family run hotel. Daily walks using cable car /cog wheel railway to see glaciers, flora and fauna. Included visit to the Matterhorn using the Gornergrat railway.

Excellent British guides who organised all the travel, prepared picnic lunches, organised walks and were very knowledgeable about birds, flowers etc. Had to rearrange travel a day later than planned due to lack of transport due to severe thunderstorms

The holiday combined both a short visit to the Sunderbans National Park, followed by a cruise down the Brahmaputra river. The highlights were visits over 4 days to the Kaziranga National Park and a most charismatic and knowledgable tour leader.

All the arrangements made and the information provided by Naturetrek were first class.
