Norway - Orcas, Humpbacks and Northern Lights
7 night cruise on SV Rembrandt in conjunction with Oceanwide Expeditions in winter - lots of deep snow, well thought out shore excursions. Some stunning scenery, all the target experiences seen plus more. Accommodation on the boat was comfortable and the food good.

Naturetrek are very well organised, respond quickly to queries and provide comprehensive information about tours. Flights organised from regional airport. Our Naturetrek guide worked well alongside the Oceanwide staff and was thoughtful for our safety and comfort. She also had good knowledge of the wildlife of the area and shared her knowledge with us all with enthusiasm.





Great way to spend Christmas!
This was our first tour with Naturetrek and we were very impressed. We saw all the birds we wanted to see and much more besides. The hotels were very good, as was the food, and the picnics organised by the Leaders were incredible. Both Leaders went out of their way to make sure we saw everything and that we were enjoying ourselves. Looking forward to our next trip (Borneo).

Excellent organisation and information. When we asked if we could travel from Birmingham instead of Gatwick there was no problem, and Naturetrek even checked us in online and booked our seats for us. Office staff all very helpful.





Relaxing, pampered bird-watching
This was 6 days in Extremadura in Spain over Christmas 2019. A small group tour of 11 with 2 expert bird guides who organised the days out. Not only did we see almost all of the birds likely to be there at the time of year but the oicnic lunches were excellent - all helped by blue skies and warm days. Hotel Rural Vina La Torres was a beautiful, characterful family home with lovely rooms and public areas, good food and an excellent host. A lovely ...

Naturetrek specialises in wildlife holidays and offers a wide range of countries and styles of holiday. We have used them many times over the past 10 years and they have always been professional and looked after the details to make all holidays as interesting as possible. Accommodation is always good for the area and leaders are real experts. A safe pair of hands!





Zambia's South Luangwa NP Birdwatching and Mammals.
Very good accommodation. Nice food & pleasant staff. Saw all the 'Big 5' animals. And saw a dung beetle trying to push a dungball and 'wife' up a slope. Lots of birds Inc. a beautiful Grey crowned crane. All very special.

Superb birdwatching tour in Nepal
A ten-day organised tour in lowland Nepal. Very well-organised with an excellent guide, full of information, friendly, helpful and outstanding at directing us to a small bird in the trees. Good accommodation with things that worked and good food.

I've travelled many times now with Naturetrek. They're efficient, responsive and thoroughly know their stuff.





Super starlings in Somerset.
This was the 1st dedicated birding holiday I have ever done though I've been on many animal wildlife ones with lots of birds included. I was rather worried that all the guests would be experts but there was a mixture of knowledge and experience. The group were very friendly and the 2 leaders were excellent with a wide knowledge and enthusiasm for birds and the environment

This is the 5th time I have travelled with Naturetrek, the other 4 were in Sri Lanka, Borneo, India and the Pantanal in Brazil. I had spent years avoiding them because on my 1st wildlife trip, a very seasoned traveller told me she had had a bad experience with them. Over the years I then spoke to lots of people who had travelled with them with great success, So I eventually tried them and they are very good.





Naturetrek Somerset Levels
Short break for bird watching, especially hoping to see starling murmurations on Somerset Levels. In spite of rather inclement weather our two tour guides were able to show us a range of habitats and some amazing spectacles of bird behavior.
