Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

A Naturetrek organised ship based expedition sailing from Ushuaia in Argentina to the Falklands, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula. The focuss was on birds, whales and dolphins and all wildlife of the South Atlantic but also the history of polar exploration.

All the arrangements, flight connections, hotel bookings worked very well. The Naturetrek guides were excellent in assisting and catering for particpants of all ability. They were very well informed with previous Antarctic experience and liaised very well with the onboard cruise management team.

Professional Back office , knowledgeable and friendly tour leaders. Meticulous Attention to detail Can’t praise this enough

Gambia in Style. We stayed at an Ecolodge on a tributary of the River Gambia, and could see the wildlife from our upgraded floating lodge on the river. We had safaris on foot or by canoe most days around the lodge, and onbtwo days we went further afield. It was a birding tour, however we also saw various monkeys, reptiles and the resident baboon troupe who we liked! The food was delicious!

Naturetrek. I have travekked with them many times and can rely on them to provide a memorable experience ( in a good way!)

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.
