Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

We had very comfortable accommodation in Carmel that was our base as we went out nearly every day whale watching. On our first morning we came across a magnificent blue whale, it was going to be hard to beat that but with huge pods of dolphins, humbacks breaching and sea otters our hopes were more than satisfied.

Naturetrek organised the trip very well and the two guides we had with us were extremly knowledgeable about the mammals and birds.

Most enjoyable holiday. Very inspiring & knowledgeable guides.

Professional, knowledgeable & very approachable

This was a wildlife, bird and mammal watching holiday to various part of East and North of Poland

Naturetrek specialised in wildlife tours, and in my experience they run a very professional service, everything was very well planned and went very smoothly.

Great birding, hotels, meals and leader in a short tour in South Africa.

Well organised company with lots of information and always someone there to answer any questions I had.

Our trip with Naturetrek was for us all about seeing Whales and Bears , ok wildlife can be a bit shy , but not on our trip with lots of opportunities we saw more than we could have dreamed of. Humpbacks , Orca, Grey Whales , Dolphins the list goes on. and the finale were the Bears at the Great Bear Lodge . The trip was full on from day one hardly time to breath, problems ,even out of their control were dealt with. I would not hesitate to travel with them again.

Naturetrek were a great team , They made our holiday one to remember for the right reasons. every effort was made to show us the wildlife which was the purpose of our holiday, our accommodation was always good and the food excellent.

All the group had visited Africa before and there were some keen spotters amongst us. This meant that we had some truly excellent views of many of the very hard to see animals that were a feature of this trip. Aardvark being one such and we had very good views of several animals on two nights.The highlight for me after a brief nighttime view was when Jason, our guide spotted a Cape Fox curled up outside its burrow only a little way from the vehicle in daylight and posed for some wonderful photos.

Naturetrek pick the best ground agents and our 2 guides from Lawson's Safaris were both very pleasant and thoroughly professional. Between them they maximised every opportunity to show us the hard to see mammals that we had come for. Yet the whole trip was carried out in a very relaxed but competent manner. The timing of the return journey was difficult but Naturetrek paid for access to an airport lounge which was very helpful.

A well organised trip to see mammals and birds in British Columbia.with travel by sea, land and air (flight to a wilderness lodge). Many excellent sightings of bears (Grizzly & Black), Orcas and other whales, and sea otters.

The company guide was excellent, with very good knowledge and empathetic support for all members of the group. The local guide was equally good, adding local knowledge to the mix.

It was a nine day Naturetrek visit to British Columbia, for a week's cruising the islands, channels and inlets of the Great Bear Rainforest, to watch for whales, grizzly bears, black bears, the rare white Spirit bears, bald eagles and other wildlife. We saw everything we could possibly have hoped to see – including two spirit bears and a humpback whale bubble-netting. The boat was comfortable and beautiful, the crew were great, and the small group (11, plus the Naturetrek tour leader) got on well.

Naturetrek certainly lived up to our expectations. From the start, the information provided was always clear, informative and interesting. We were given advice on everything from the necessary wet weather gear (very necessary!) through to what to tip the crew. The information about the trip and particularly the wildlife was great. The tour leader was a birder and very knowledgeable about the many seabirds we saw. He also worked well with the boat's crew (which we understand is not always the case).

Brilliant. Birding in the tropical forests of Panama with highly trained local tour guides.

Efficient, friendly, helpful, offers some of the best birding tours worldwide.

A naturalist-guided week in the French Pyrenees, which exceeded our expectations in almost every respect. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable across a whole range of subject relating to flora and fauna, and we came hoe having learned a lot and with a new approach to looking at what is around us!

Naturetrek were efficient and helpful in all respects. We had booked with them previously for a holiday in Iceland back in 2006, and had no hesitation in booking with them again.
