Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

A relaxed exploration of Arnside Knot and its wildlife. Leader (Russ) was extremely knowledgable on a wide range of subjects and kept the day interesting from start to finish.

All plans from booking onwards were without a hitch.

wonderful to get out in the countryside after loxk down and have such a good guide

Nature trek are vert professional and all guides are good

8 hours with local man Ed Drewitt who took us to 3 locations within the forest and showed us all that was on offer that day! Saw a lot, learnt a lot and enjoyed it greatly!

Naturetrek organised the day trip very well and sent us all the info we needed via email

Newly introduced day trip from Naturetrek exploring Smardale Gill (Cumbria Wildlife Trust site). Focus on both fauna and flora. Guides knowledge on both (and indeed across the range of wildlife) was exceptional. Thoroughly good day out.

As so many holidays have had to be cancelled due to Covid-19, Naturetrek have organised some day trips to places in the UK to watch wild life. I went to The Forest of Dean. It was a wet day but our small group was well equipped to cope with the weather. The rain restricted the butterflies to meadow browns and ringlets and the dragon flies to Southern Hawker and Emerald darter. However, the bird life was better so we saw dippers, grey wagtails, tree creeper, nuthatch, dabchick, and various water fowl, and plenty of tits. Our guide knew his flowers and trees as well. He was well rounded in his knowledge and a great help with bird calls. He was ready to extend his knowledge to us without any arrogance. It was a good day out.

I have travelled with Naturetrek to Nepal, the Pyrenees, Spain, Poland. The reason I keep travelling with them is because they have excellent guides and naturalists with detailed knowledge of the area one visits. The hotels they choose are usually simple but comfortable with local character. We usually travel in remote areas where there are no cafes for lunch so excellent picnics are supplied by the guides and one can pick and choose how little or how much one wants to eat. It suits me admirably.

It was great to find out more about the nature that is on my doorstep. The leader was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and flora - and also the history - of the area.

All very well organised.

You can always tell when you are in the presence of an expert naturalist. Enthusiasm for what he was doing and excitement at finding something unexpected. Even the anticipation of finding a bird which we didn’t in fact find after all was infectious. Matt has all the qualities of a guide which we admired.

Exceedingly helpful. What a good idea to run day nature trips at home during these challenging times.

We had a wonderful day with Rob Mileto in Shropshire last week. As things turned out, we had him all to ourselves for the day, and as a result of his huge knowledge and patient ability to share and explain, we learnt a great deal. If only we could guarantee that we will be able to remember just half of what he showed us! He was great company, the weather was kind and it was a beautiful place. Thank you Naturetrek and Bob.

Naturetrek strike us as a most efficient and human company to deal with.

This was a one-day trip within Britain as a result of the provision of alternative natural history breaks to fit in with Covid restrictions. The leader was a great all-round naturalist as well as a sharp and swift observer of and guide to the dragonflies of the area.
