Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

One week in two of central India’s tiger National Parks - Pench and Kahna. An amazing experience packed with excitement and wonderful insights and excellent accommodation too.

We booked and travelled with Naturetrek. Communication was excellent throughout. We have no criticism regarding this company.

It was very well organised by our leader. Everything Went as it was supposed to do.

The whole experience from first booking to the end was so well organised. The pre departure pack covered everything we could possibly. Ed The pre holiday pack contained. Everything we needed to know from clothes, medicines, equipment visa and money. All the hotels used were of a high standard. to know

We spent three days at Koggala Beach Hotel which was brilliant. We went out early each morning from Mirissa on boats to watch whales. We saw 4 blue whales, dolphins, turtles, flying fish and Tuna fish flying out of the water. The bird life was amazing.We then went to Yala National Park and saw Leopards, wild boar elephants water buffalo and a mongoose catching a snake and eating it, lots of crocodiles, sloth bear, deer and incredible bird life including Hornbill painted stork bats and owls

Professional, helpful and charming in every way.We had two tour leaders, Saman Kumara and Dhanushka Samarasinghe. They were very knowledgable. Very kind to one participants who injurred herself and needed stitches. Nothing was too much trouble and all parties on the tour had a very enjoyable holiday, exactly as stated in the brochure.

Our holiday was absolutely fantastic. We were so well looked after by everyone. All the staff involved in our stay deserve a massive thank you. We don't eat Indian food at home so we weren't sure we were going to like the food. However we were amazed at how fresh and delicious it all was. We were blessed on seeing tigers up close. They are so much bigger in real life, they are such beautiful creatures. We saw a male, a female, and females with cubs. We saw beautiful birds which were so colourful, the birds of prey were also stunning. Our guides pointed out everything and had amazing knowledge. We were the only vehicle to have the absolute pleasure of seeing wild dogs too, which decided to play just in front of us. It was an honour. We also saw snakes which was an absolute treat too. A fantastic holiday, I'd love to do it all again!

They were fantastic. Very informative, and would reply to any queries we had.

On the 7th February we travelled from Heathrow airport via Dubai to Male then took a water taxi to Bondos where we stayed overnight. on the 9th we transferred to the Keanna for the rest of the holiday. Every day we snorkelled early morning and late afternoon and sailed all day searching and watching whales and dolphins. We returned home on `17th Feb +

We found Naturetrek to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, supportive and caring. Their priority was to provide an excellent holiday experience for us . this was achieved from every aspect

Cricket,birds,safari holiday with excellent guide accommodation and food

Always helpful and efficient

A first rate experience of living aboard the MV Keana touring the Atols of the Maldives in search of whales, dolphins and manta rays in between twice daily snorkel trips around the islands. The snorkel sites were very varied offering a range of corals, fish, reef sharks and sting rays. On a couple of evenings, manta rays and whale sharks were found feeding under the spot lights at the back of the boat. Many of us entered the water and held on to the guide ropes to watch under the water. Magic! The accommodation was adequate & clean and the food amazing with 3 hot meals a day. The crew were friendly and most helpful. The Naturetrek guides ensured we got the best out of the experience.

I've travelled to Europe several times with Naturetrek and always preferred their holidays with the better quality hotels. The hotel in Bandos, Maldives where we stayed for the first night was extremely good offering quality accommodation, choice of restaurants and very good snorkelling.

We went with Naturetrek to Costa Rica. Despite 5 days of rain to start with the wonderful naturalist still made the holiday a great experience. Lots of different habitats looking at animals and birds, darting from cover to cover to try and remain dry to start with, then once we hit the good weather fantastic days out including two boat trips which were highlights for us.

We have used Naturetrek several times and have always found them to be friendly and efficient. The main reason we go with them is that they provide extremely knowledgeable naturalists which makes a huge difference to the holiday for us.

This was a tour guide led holiday in the Somerset Levels with the main highlight being to see murmurations of starlings but also to take in all the wonderful wildlife in Somerset in the winter. The holiday base was in Wells. A lovely place with easy access to the levels and the hotel was lovely. Nature performed wonderfully. There were 2 evening views of the starling roost - each one different! The early morning view of the starlings flying back into the fields was incredible. Well worth getting up early. Each day we travelled to a different part of the levels to see the levels to see the range of waterfowl. Great views of cranes with the addition of hearing their special calls! A great holiday.

The holiday was run by NatureTrek who organise wildlife/nature tours worldwide. The holiday included breakfast and dinner with lunch being extra. The accommodation was great with views over the green to Wells Cathedral.

Lots of wildlife and great company.

Brilliant
