I have been on four holidays with Naturetrek -they have always been well organised, have very good tour leaders who cater for everyones needs and can adapt when things don't quite go according to plan. Whenever I have contacted the office, communication has always been good and the staff have always answered any queries promptly.

Excellent wildlife experience in a fascinating country offering great diversity and providing excellent guides

Travelled to Tadiba Pench and Kanha with super tiger sightings and excellent knowledgable guides. A well put together tour with a small group of equal enthusiasts. Naturetrek give good information and deliver what is advertised. We have travelled with them on numerous occasions and will definitely travel with them again.

Excellent tour operator who gives relevant accurate information and deliver on what they advertise. Approachable prior to booking and provide excellent guides who are not only knowledgable but are personable and have lovely senses of humour. We raised a few niggles after the holiday which they replied to and addressed what they could or could not do about any small comments which addressed the concerns.

Stunning comfortable accommodationin all 3 reserves with tasty locally sourced meals. Well organised and excellent tour leaders Durgesh Singh and Anand Sinha who were calm,efficient and very fair with well planned rotas giving opportunities for everyone.to see the animals and birds they wanted to. There was a wide range of wildlife with Tigers being the main focus initially but the variety of animals led us to see leopards,Sloth bears and many more with colourful birds ,flowers, insects and trees providing a wider knowledge of the 3 varied reserves. Stories and intimate knowledge and memories from our guides created a real feeling of involvement in the spotting and trackiing process. My husband and I and our friends had excellent photo opportunities better than ever expected with Tigers sighted within the first hour of our first day and then walking so close by. Breathtaking. We have so many amazing photos and memories .Thank you very much Nature trek😊👩‍🌾.

We have travelled widely around the world but Naturetrek are new to us , They did not disappoint and we would be keen to explore further tours with them in the future. Communication was efficient resulting in detailed accurate information being sent to us in advance of our trip which allowed us to plan well before leaving. We appreciated the brochure with lots of information about daily plans and transfers and the pre information regarding accommodation,group members and tour leaders. Our travel from Manchester via London and Mumbai to Nagpur and onwards was well co-ordinated and efficient. The tour was well run with eager anticipation daily as we all set out to follow the carefully organised planning of Durgesh Singh and supported byAnand Sinha. They were amazing. A well thought out and excellent tour from start to finish. Thank you.

Birds and Plants in Crete

Well planned with good itinerary, including interest visits to Minoan sites and pretty towns, and good hotels. Good food, but having to eat out every evening meant late nights. Beautiful plants and a good range of nice birds.

Naturetrek somehow manage to successfully arrange a multitude of holidays worldwide, with very few cancellations owing to lack of numbers.

Fabulous whale watching cruise with Naturetrek which included so much more....

The Naturetrek holiday was perfectly organised, used a well run and staffed boat and employed 2 exceptional naturalists. The Searcher, the boat, was comfortable, safe and staffed by an engaging staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. The chef managed to produce a wide variety of tasty food for every meal. Maintaining safety was an obvious concern for the staff and never once did we feel unsafe or uncared for. The naturalists were a source ...

The naturalists were a source of endless information about everything that we encountered and made our holiday interesting from start to finish. The skill of the skipper meant that we saw all our hoped for animals many times and at close quarters. All in all an excellent holiday

Rating for tour operator:

Naturetrek are consistently excellent, we've travelled with them many times, professional, considerate, obliging - everything a wildlife lover wants from a wildlife watching holiday. Naturetrek are so good that we always say we can relax the moment our luggage is checked in at the airport....after that all the organisation has been done and every eventuality prepared for.

Brilliant birding in Costa Rica

Naturetrek provided an excellent holiday for a small group of like minded birdwatchers. The guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also clearly loved his job and got as excited as we did when we saw some of the rarer sightings of birds. The accommodation in eco friendly lodges was excellent and the holiday relaxed and not too intense despite 6am starts. We saw over 360 different birds as well as sloths, peccaries and others. I will ...

The accommodation in eco friendly lodges was excellent and the holiday relaxed and not too intense despite 6am starts. We saw over 360 different birds as well as sloths, peccaries and others. I will certainly consider going again to cover the south of the country.

Naturetrek met all my expectations. They communicated well before the holiday and all the arrangements worked well. The accomodation was very suitable for the holiday and the tour guide excellent. you could tell Naturetrek took care over its choices.

Brilliant birds from the balcony

We travelled to Trinidad to stay at the Asa Wright Centre for a week. We were met at Gatwick by our Naturetrek guide, at the airport by buses and guides from the centre for a seamless transition to Asa Wright. From dawn till dinner each day we had wonderful birding experiences both at the centre and on trips out, always with expert help and guidance. From the hummingirds and tanagers on the feeders (we could have spent the week without moving ...

We travelled to Trinidad to stay at the Asa Wright Centre for a week. We were met at Gatwick by our Naturetrek guide, at the airport by buses and guides from the centre for a seamless transition to Asa Wright. From dawn till dinner each day we had wonderful birding experiences both at the centre and on trips out, always with expert help and guidance. From the hummingirds and tanagers on the feeders (we could have spent the week without moving from the balcony)to the trogons and other forest birds, especially the unique oilbirds, at the centre, to the seabirds, waders and incredible scarlet ibis on the coast, there was always something amazing to see. We ate well, the rooms were spacious and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. We could happily have stayed longer.

Rating for tour operator:

We have travelled with Naturetrek on many occasions and they have been unfailingly helpful and efficient, giving us alternative travel arrangements and booking accomodation if needed, if at all possible.They have an incredible variety of trips on offer, but whichever ones we have chosen they all have the same level of expertise, whether we take a guide with us from the UK or are met by a local guide at destination or use both. We are travelling with them again shortly and hope to do so many times in the future.

An amazing time

A really great trip through 3 countries. Excellent close up views of wildlife - mammals and birds, including rare species. Some spectacular scenery and views of village life. Comfortable accommodation and vegetarian options catered for.

We went with Naturetrek who used a local Namibian company. They were very knowledgeable, good humoured and patient and made our holiday special.
