Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

We had the full Galapagos experience of giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies, landing in surf and walking on lava, sweating in the sun and gazing at clear starry night skies. Being in a small group was essential, and I have made some good friends.

We were met at every stage of the journey, and complex luggage requirements were dealt with to everyone's satisfaction.

It was action-packed to maximise experiences over a weekend, and expertly led by the 2 leaders. The hotel was in a lovely location and very comfortable. Just a shame that they didn't think to salt and grit the carpark so that it less of a hazard reaching the Exmoor Room after supper.

I have nothing but praise for Naturetrek and wouldn't dream of holidaying with any other operator now. I have had 4 memorable breaks with them and have already booked 2 more this year.

Sailing on a 1924 Lugger in Norwegian waters watching Humpback Whales and Orcas chasing the Herring. And, seeing dolphins, seal, White-Tailed Sea Eagles and the Northern Lights spectacular.

A caring, ethical and very experienced wildlife expedition travel company whom we have used 12 times.

A week on the Norwegian Fjords on board a beautiful schooner, viewing Humpback Whales, Orcas and Dolphins, various birds, and capturing wonderful views of the Northern Lights. Also part of a great group of 31 people, brilliantly looked after by crew of 12 on S/V Rembrandt van Rijn.

Naturetrek organised a brilliant holiday, including flights to/from UK, Oslo holidays and responsibility for our boat trip. David Phillips was great company and ensured everything went well.

I had a great time seeing many bird species in Colombia in 9 days. No time was wasted, the guides were really helpful getting us to see the birds and identify them. The accommodation was good, the food was not great, but that was the Colombian fare, too much meat and not much variation.

Naturetrek gave us two bird guides, and considering there were only six of us, that was great. And sometimes a local guide joined us as well.

So exciting to see Orcas and Humpback Whales. The Northern Lights were well worth going out at Midnight into bitter cold with deep snow on the ground. The ships we were on was small enough to be cosy (33 passengers), but large enough to be well equipped and comfortable. The food and service were excellent.

Very efficient and helpful.

A fantastic holiday in the South Pacific, cruising around several groups of Solomon Islands, focussing on Whales, Dolphins & snorkelling while taking in this beautiful unspoilt pristine environment. Naturetrek provided terrific organisation & leadership to enable our group to maximise our experiences and enjoy the trip. The small ship had a crew of 11 who supported us and delivered wonderful meals, an expert marine biologist to spot & identify the wildlife and a superb leader who ensured we all enjoyed & maximised our trip. This team ensured I had an excellent holiday and could really focus on the wildlife. We saw lots of Dolphin pods, and several Whale species, in total 17 species, 59 birds and more than 100 species of fish. An amazing trip facilitated brilliantly by Naturetrek to enable me to enjoy a holiday of a lifetime.

Fantastic organisation, fabulous leader, provided a first class base re the ship and crew to ensure a dream trip, cruising the Solomon Islands to see lots of wildlife. Ensured we saw everything and identified species through their expertise.

It was a guided tour of the best birding sites on the Somerset Levels. Our tour guides took us to excellent vantage points to see numerous types of birds throughout the two days and the Starling Murmuration both evenings which exceeded all my expectations and the great take off of the roosting starlings one morning.

Our first experience of Naturetrek and it will not be the last as the organisation was first class and the tour guides were very knowledgeable and amiable.

Great hotel in Wells with good room and lovely food. Organised birdwatching to places that I would never found alone with knowledgeable guides and comfortable transport. Highlight was 3 visits to the 800.000 starlings roosting on the wetland reeds with some incredible views of murmurations , the noise and movement has to be seen to be believed. One of my bucket list achieved well in above of expectations!

Organised, helpful and quick to sort out details. Couldn't fault them.
