A good holiday

A week in the french Pyrenees to look for the wildlife of the area. Despite the adverse weather (not Naturetrek's fault!) the holiday was well organised to make the most of the conditions.

Wildlife watching in the Picos

A week finding and photographing birds, butterflies, plants and scenery with a congenial group of like-minded people. Hotels and food were great and our guide superb.

Naturetrek is a wildlife holiday specialist. They are not cheap but provide value for money: all our food was included so we spent very little else.

A great holiday discovering the dragonflies and butterflies of the La Brenne region of France

We had an excellent holiday exploring La Brenne and discovering dragonflies, butterflies and birds of the region. Our leader was a Brit who had lived in the region for 10+ years and his knowledge of the wildlife was outstanding.

Naturetrek provided excellent information about the holiday and in spite of the disruption of our travel caused by the SNCF train strike, they provided alternative transport to take us to our destination.

Sailing to the hebredies and St Kilda- with abundant wildlife sitings

I had been wanting to get to St Kilda for a very long time - so this holiday fitted the bill. What I wasn't expecting was it to be so good in so many ways. the food was outstanding- being vegetarian it is sometimes a problem - not here. The crew were so helpful and the weather and wildlife performed brilliantly

Hebredies cruises ran a brilliant ship - how the chef produced such good meals in the tiny galley I'll never know. Skipper and bosun were so helpful and the wildlife guide from Naturetrek was tireless in her quest to give us the best experience possible.It was quite simply the best holiday I have been on.

The Hebridies in Style

We had a great birding/wildlife trip to North and South Uists. It was everything we were hoping for and more. Great weather and a great leader.

Naturetrek is one of the best wildlife trip operators that we have ever been on trips with. This was our 16 trip and we just about to leave on our next trip to Spitsbergen on Monday 25th June.

Passing all expectations

This was a well organised holiday concentrating on the wildlife of the Camargue but also including time in the local town of Arles. Our leaders knowledge of their subjects was phenomenal. The hotel was comfortable and the meals were good. We made good use of the excursions and were not disappointed in the amount of wildlife that we saw. We enjoyed the variety of environments that we visited.

Yellowstone in the Spring

Adam Brubaker was an excellent guide and tour leader. The holiday covered the Grand Teton's and Yellowstone National Park including mamal's, birds and flora plus spectacular scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, our first wildlife holiday in the USA.

The brochure was accurate in its description. The phone was always answered quickly. The booking process was quick and easy. Documentation was sent out in time and was everything we needed to know.

Naturetrek to the Lakes and Fells of N.W. England

Naturetrek organised everything very well. The holiday exceeded all expectations. We saw amazing natural history that I have only dreamed about. Dave Morris our tour guide went above and beyond to ensure that we were well looked after and was prepared to change the schedule depending on the weather. We visited a very wide range of natural history sites.

This was our first tour with Naturetrek, but it will certainly not be the last. Already looking for the next tour. Nothing was too much trouble. The holiday was half board but new owners had the hotel and couldn't do evening meals. No problem. We were taken to different wonderful restaurants for wonderful food.
