Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

This was just over 2 weeks and Nature Trek packed in so much adventure into that short time. We swam with sea lions after a boat trip out of Lima. Next we travelled over 100 miles up the Tambopata river to spend 3 nights in the rainforest. It was hot and humid but the lodge was amazing with good food and a pair of Macaws that raided rooms and cupboards for food. Nature Trek took us out every morning and evening on foot or by canoe to see the Macaws and other wildlife in the area. Next it was back down the river and a flight to Cusco which is a picturesque town at approximately 3400 metres. We left here to walk the Inca Trail over 5 days and 4 nights. This was hard with 3 days of steep climbs and descents at altitude. However, as we arrived at the Sun Gate above Machu Picchu someone asked me "How far is it that way?" It takes 4 days I replied - and that made us all feel special. The tour was busy but it ran like clockwork. All the guides, drivers, porters were friendly and helpful and they seemed delighted to show us their country from the wildlife to contemporary Peru and the Inca civilization. I am still going through the 5000 photos we took. Thanks Nature trek for a special experience.

Nature Trek has a great website but they are always available by email and phone to answer queries. The staff are unfailingly helpful, friendly and polite. We have been on 4 holidays with them and we will be going again. They are well organised and they provide good information in advance to allow you to prepare. The holidays we have been on have been very busy. They are wildlife holidays so the emphasis is on getting out early to see the birds and the Nature Trek guides and the local guides have worked hard to ensure we saw many different species but they were also good at showing us reptiles, butterflies and flowers. The Gambia trip was more relaxed as a one center holiday and allowed us time in the middle of the day to use the hotel facilities. They are not the cheapest tour operator of this type but I have found them very good value.

Day 1: BAM!!! 'That's an actual, real life, wolf. Like, actually' Day 2: BOOYAH!!! 'Another real life wolf, like in the flesh' DAY 3: BOOM!!! 'Come on, what member of the pack are you bribing here?' Wolves in the Spanish wilderness. The title sells itself.

Fun, efficient, smart and professional.

Fabulous 5 days with expert guides, looking for wolves, wild cats & beats. We stayed in a quaint old farmhouse that was cozy & comfy. All good was included, and was local traditional Spanish food. Vegetarians were well catered for. We had 2 off road vehicles and went off the beaten track and beyond, searching & finding the wildlife we were looking for.

NatureTrek is a fabulous company that organised small group travel around the world.

I saw over 100 bird species, almost all of which are endemic to Madagascar or the Malagasy region. Spectacular birds included many Vangas, Ground-rollers and Mesites; views were often close enough to obtain superb photographs. In addition many species of lemur (including Indri), chameleons, reptiles, invertebrates and wild flowers were seen. The tour was well structured through visits to multiple habitats, and lead by a Malagasy national guide, a British guide and several local guides in each of the areas visited. Madagascar is a fascinating place, well worth visiting for its diversity of wildlife.

Naturetrek is a well-established travel company specialising in birds and other wildlife. Its organisation is superb and the trips are well thought out. Naturetrek has been running wildlife trips to Madagascar for many years and has developed great contacts in the country.

Great leader, fab plants, good food and comfortable hotel. Companionable group. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Very efficient and helpful.

The holiday was well planned, well run - with an excellent guide, who was a font of all knowledge - and fun. I saw so many whales and dolphins, but also other wildlife I hadn't anticipated. Would definitely recommend.

They are a well organised company, who looked after all aspects of the holiday excellently. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun with it. Would definitely recommend.

A week in Menorca, watching migrating and resident birds; enjoying the scenery, the good company and knowledgeable leaders; relaxing in the evenings in the rural hotel whioch provided excellent food and wine.

Naturetrek - does what it says on the tin - a specialist wildlife holiday operator

When i go on holiday I want some things to be right first of all like the bed to be firm and the food to be reasonable. I was very happy with both and then off course the location was amazing good company and my complements to the hotel staff in both locations.

Naturetrek are organised, helpful and their tour guides are expert and passionate about their subject.

Wonderful sightings of Pumas in Chile plus spectacular scenery and brilliant, knowledgeable and helpful local guide. Great sighting of Jaguars in Brazil plus many other mammals and birds. Excellent Naturetrek guide who had incredible knowledge of wildlife generally. Naturetrek organised all aspects of the holiday very well.A holiday of a lifetime!

Naturetrek are always very professional .The tour is arranged in very good detail and we would highly recommend them.

The holiday was well organised with two excellent leaders. Martin organised the walks to see the historic forts and places of interest. John guided us to see the birds and gave us a demonstration of bird ringing.

We have traveled with Naturetrek many times and have usually found their pretour information detailed and very helpful. They use hotels of a good standard and have leaders who well organised and informative.
