Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

An excellent trip. Early starts but time to relax pre-dinner. Excellent bird sightings and interesting extras : coffee, chocolate and rum workshops

Very friendly, information provided in a timely manner

Very interesting tour

I have traveled with Naturetrek on over 20 occasions and all have been troble free.

The tour title was Colombia - Birds and History. Every aspect was spot on - the itinerary, tour guide, accommodation, food, treks, additional guides. Loved the country, the people, the towns and the glorious outdoors. An enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Naturetrek were helpful and efficient prior to the tour. Everything was very well organized - good transport, no waiting on arrival at hotels, excellent meals at a range of restaurants, and well-planned trips and excursions with knowledgeable, enthusiastic guides.

We visited Estonia to go on a birdwatching holiday. Our tour guide was excellent and we saw all our target species.

Naturetrek - well organised and easy to contact - no AI when I rang.

We spent 7 days exploring the flora in the mountainous region of Southern Spain. We were taken to different areas every day by our group leader and found so many beautiful and often rare wild flowers, including orchids and tiny daffodils, sometimes just being left to grow by the side of the road. Despite the rain it was a joy for me to get up each day wondering what treasures we would see that day. We were a small group which helped us get on well but it was our group leader whose infectious love and vast knowledge of botany in particular but the natural world in general made the holiday very special.

Having never been on a group holiday before I was a bit nervous but even before I went the tour manager set my mind at rest about some concerns I had. The fact that everything was organised for me was brilliant and it was clear Naturetrek had spent years of research in the area finding places where the rare wild flowers still proliferate. Our group leader was incredible - so happy to impart her vast knowledge not only about botany but geology and other aspects of the natural world. She was our chauffeuse and organised our meals too.

The tour was Iceland - Northern Lights & Winter Wildlife and it covered all aspects of this extremely well. There were 6 participants and 1 leader who was very knowledgeable of the area and drove the minibus. We had a day of being tourists, visiting a geyser, Gullfoss waterfall and Thingvellier too. The scenery was breathtaking. The second full day saw us on a whale watching boat trip where we were surrounded by orca and saw other whales too. The third full day focussed more on wildlife - the ptarmigan and other birds (including ducks) that we saw were all stunning. We even managed to see the Northern Lights on that last evening - also magical. So several items on my bucket list were ticked off - the holiday was a magical introduction to Iceland and I cannot wait to go back.

Naturetrek focuses on leading wildlife holidays. They ensure that everything is organised and take good care of participants in their tours. Most have a minibus to take you to the viewing places and they also ensure that you visit the classic tourist spots too. They make excellent choices of hotels, travel, location and guides - I love travelling with them and, as a single person, feel very safe.

I travelled on the Best of Southern Costa Rica holiday with Naturetrek and it was a fantastic trip exploring the amazing biodiversity of the country. The tour itinerary took in a range of habitats from the cloud forests to the mangroves, with so many species to see - we spotted over 100 birds on one day! Our local guides were excellent and dedicated to making sure we had great views of each species and immersed ourselves into the landscape.

This is the second holiday I have been on with Naturetrek and once again it exceeded expectations, with such an amazing array of wildlife to see in a short time. Every part was well organised and ensured that the most amazing wildlife and landscapes of the country were experienced on the trip.

Excellent trip. Small group of nice people. Varied accommodation but all great in their own way. Outstanding guide got us to all the right places at the right times and looked after us really well. Very well organised itinerary.

Travelled with Naturetrek lots of times now and always great.

A 14 day trip exploring from Victoria Falls to Etosha. Brilliant river boat trips with excellent wildlife sightings. Game drives with comfortable transport and good visibility for everyone. Tour leaders(Neil and Hano from Safariwise) are highly recommended.

Everything went smoothly from booking to enjoying the holiday.

Eight days intensive birding with brilliant guides in South Africa. We saw 297 different birds as well as lots of mammals including Leopards, Elephant,Hippos and Cheetahs. It was amazing.

Naturetrek offer really incredible wildlife holidays all over the world.
