Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

The dual location tour exploring the amphibians and reptiles of panama took in a lowland location in proximity to the canal within a national park, followed by a higher altitude tour that enables a number of different species to be observed, moreover we were afforded the opportunity to observed numerous birds, mammals and invertebrates. We saw >30 species of amphibian and >20 species of reptiles in 9 days.

Naturetrek were awesome, the planning and booking experience was excellent with accommodation of our needs taken in to account very quickly. In country, everything was taken care of allowing us to focus on seeing as many species as we could. In country transport, accommodation and food could not be faulted.

The whole week was full of great birding and wildlife experiences. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and friendly

Very well organised and informative

We booked a wildlife week with NatureTrek , and built an extended trip around it. The company accommodated us well, though some of our arrangements had to be tweaked to fit in with others flights.

The information was very good though personally I could have done with some more detail on the walking conditions. The accommodations very good and hotel staff were very pleasant . The guides were excellent in supporting our different needs and making the trip memorable.

It was so enjoyable, everyday was a new adventure. I saw so many different places and loved every day. It had natural history, architecture, culture, history, traditions, awesome scenery and I met many nice people. I won't forget it.

They really know how to look after you so you come home completely relaxed because they took care of everything.

A 6 day general nature trip to Sark - great guides, food & accommodation - interesting & relaxing

Good administration & helpful staff

A few days in the Carpathian Mountains and then down the the Danube delta on a moving hotel boat to view the wildlife of the 2 regions. The local and British guides were excellent, friendly and very knowledgeable about all the local wildlife. The food was plentiful and tasty local fare throughout, a thoroughly enjoyable time

The tour was well run with no technical problems at all

Naturetrek holiday to the Bavarian Alps. Walking in alpine scenery woods and pastures, looking for orchids and alpine flowers. Superb walking in good company and with excellent guides.Pariticularly thrilled to find Lady’s Slipper Orchid and to witness eagles flying overhead.

Have travelled with Naturetrek on a number of occasions- always great and never disappointed

Our 10-day Carpathian Mountains and Danube Delta holiday in Romania gave us some wonderful experiences such as seeing chamois grazing high on cliffs in the dramatic Zarnesti Gorge, watching 10 brown bears, including 6 cubs, feeding and frolicking in front of a hide in the Piatra Craiuliu National Park and staying on a floating hotel in the Danube Delta with twice daily trips on a smaller vessel cruising the myriad of channels that wound between vast beds of reeds and lily pads to give views of the thousands of birds that roost, feed and breed in the area. Seeing the delightful susliks, or ground squirrels, scampering around later in the tour was another plus. Accommodation and food throughout the tour was very good and our British and Romanian guides were outstanding in their ability to spot and identify wildlife. As an added bonus, it was a real pleasure to spend time with such a friendly group of like-minded guests who were more than happy to help two Australians come to grips with northern hemisphere birds. The only downside was the minibus transport which had barely functional air conditioning and made for a rather hot and uncomfortable journey at times.

While I absolutely love the itineraries that Naturetrek run throughout the world, and note that most reviewers rave about the information, service and communication they have received from the company, our experience as guests from outside the UK (Australia) was a bit different at times. There were definitely some glitches in service and communication - albeit not major - for this trip and I think this is because the company is overwhelming geared to cater for UK guests. While this is completely understandable, I think it would help if the company was a little more attuned and accomodating to the needs of those booking from overseas.

Birds and plants tou in the Picos de Europa

Very helpful and efficient

A thoroughly enjoyable week in the Spanish Pyrenees, with much wildlife and great scenery. We visited a range of different locations in a fairly compact area, without the need for lots of travelling. The alpine meadows were glorious, with flowers, butterflies and birds aplenty. Our leaders were good company and very knowledgeable. The food in our pleasant lodging was expertly prepared with fresh local ingredients every day. Overall a very relaxing holiday.

Naturetrek is a reliable and trustworthy tour operator who I have travelled with more than 10 times. Great information about each tour is provided on the website and in the brochure. The office staff are invariably helpful. Questions are answered promptly. Logistics and organisation of the holidays are managed very well.
