Magical sums it up

A wildlife Amazon Cruise with 11 people + crew, we sailed at night and explored in canoes during the day. With no expectations of what we would see every day was an adventure. I loved the peace and quiet as well

Best holiday ever

We were looked after from dawn until dusk by expert guides who sought to fill each day with the great experience of getting close to wildlife. Their knowledge of the area was amazing and they were able to answer our questions confidently. There was a great rapport among our party of 12 guests. Food and accommodation was great and dietary needs attended to carefully. I saw many different species of mammals, birds, and aquatic life. There ...

We were looked after from dawn until dusk by expert guides who sought to fill each day with the great experience of getting close to wildlife. Their knowledge of the area was amazing and they were able to answer our questions confidently. There was a great rapport among our party of 12 guests. Food and accommodation was great and dietary needs attended to carefully. I saw many different species of mammals, birds, and aquatic life. There were opportunities to go out early morning to see otter and deer, late at night to see owls, deer and pine marten and two boat trips giving amazing sights of surrounding scenery and wildlife.

Rating for tour operator:

The wanted to know plenty about us before we went and kept us informed of all details of our trip right up until departure. We knew exactly what to expect and were not disappointed. They even contacted me to find out more about my dietary needs. I felt I was in confident hands.

Professionally led and organised, excellent social atmosphere that accommodated different wildlife interests successfully

Excellent plan to take the 24 hour ferry to Santander to add in the possibilities of whale-watching. The two main hotels in Spain were attractive and comfortable- extraordinary high quality of Street Art unexpectedly in the Zamora hotel! Bird- watching well-focussed and very accurately targeted. Great tolerance amongst everyone in the group of the different specialisms possible in observing the natural world. Extremely well-informed guiding ...

Excellent plan to take the 24 hour ferry to Santander to add in the possibilities of whale-watching. The two main hotels in Spain were attractive and comfortable- extraordinary high quality of Street Art unexpectedly in the Zamora hotel! Bird- watching well-focussed and very accurately targeted. Great tolerance amongst everyone in the group of the different specialisms possible in observing the natural world. Extremely well-informed guiding team, immensely approachable and socially skilled. Every day had its highlights, with the number of small birds picked out by the leader that I would never have identified without his help.

Rating for tour operator:

Very efficient in securing the administration necessary for a safe trip, and personable in interchanges on what could have been routine information collecting..I have never been on a tour with this operator before, but I will definitely look out for the next possibility.

brown bears in finland

it fitted the description given exactly - met at airport and driven to the very clean and comfortable accommodation - the guide was very knowledgeable - felt safe throughout the tour - the opportunity to photograph brown bears from the hides was brilliant - the hides basic but what a great little adventure I expected no more - the whole experience was superb including the boat trip up to the Russian border and the bird watching opportunities...

The experience of seeing the bears interacting so close was unbelievable.

Rating for tour operator:

booking was simple they arranged a closer airport which made it even easier for us - the paperwork gave us all the information we required regarding flights transfers and what to expect on the tour. I cant find any fault.

A wonderful trip spent botanising in the alpine meadows of the Julian Alps

It was a very good trip with excellent leaders and good accommodation. We spent the week in various different habitats searching for the flora and some fauna of this area. I have come home with some wonderful photos and happy memories.

The Vercors, France - Butterflies and moths

A week based in a small family run hotel to explore the region for it's wide range of butterflies and moths. It was very good in every aspect: hotel, food, area, interest and guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

The beauty of the Swiss Alps plus more

The Hotel Berghaus was a lovely setting for the tour of the surrounding mountains as the group enjoyed birds, butterflies and wildflowers. The view from my balcony should be on a post card. This was also the new from the outside dining area. It was spectacular. We enjoyed the cable cars and clog wheel train that carried us to our destinations. The group of people on the tour were all delightful. Jon Stokes, the tour leader was knowledgeable ...

Jon Stokes, the tour leader was knowledgeable about any aspect of nature and encouraged us to reason why we were seeing different aspects of plant life around us.

Naturetrek kept us informed prior to the trip, sent us information about past trips to the same location, and told us what was needed for this trip. They were very efficient.
