WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

This was a memorable holiday - food, scenery, birds, local people - for me it was perfect and at the age of 83yrs I couldn't have asked for more. I have always found Iceland to be a calming experience and came back refreshed and energised. The weather was chilly but we had plenty of sunshine-a bit of misty fog which didn't stop us from doing anything. The birding was excellent.

Naturetrek is wonderful company. They know exactly what they are doing and couldn't be more helpful. The team leader knew exactly where to go for the birdwatching and meanwhile let us see some breathtaking scenery. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Naturetrek Sweden Holiday Exceeded Expectations

As an American retiree I travel often and spend a fair amount of time researching areas and providers before making a decision. With the advent of the internet researching a trip is easy, but unreliable. Marketing and websites are so good today that a person really doesn't know if the holiday will live up to. Testimonials and photography often don't tell the true story. I have to say not only was Sweden itself far more charming than I expected ...

Testimonials and photography often don't tell the true story. I have to say not only was Sweden itself far more charming than I expected but the level of service and quality of the local quide made me recommend this company and this itinerary to several friends. The Swedish countryside and it's wildlife is wonderful. And the lodging and accommodations were far better than I anticipated. I'm already planning another holiday with Naturetrek next Spring.

South America's 'Big Five'! by Val, 2 Aug 2016

Brazil's brilliant wildlife

This trip, to see Brazil's 'Big 5', greatly exceeded my expectations, providing wonderful views of the 5 species that we were hoping for and much, much more.The Big 5 were Giant River Otter, Maned Wolf, Jaguar, Tapir, Giant anteater. We saw all of these, along with nut-cracking monkeys, raucous macaws, caiman by the bucketload and an ocelot(!) The abundance and variety of birdlife was amazing and our guides were very knowledgeable and helpful...

I have traveled several times with Naturetrek and they have always delivered a good experience. They are reliable and thorough and their guides are excellent. They provide good pre-departure information and guidance and are always helpful in answering questions, both over the telephone and by email. Their website is very good, with comprehensive information about all their tours.

Travelling as a small group in 2 minibuses with a UK based leader who was very knowledgeable on all aspects of natural history,supported by an Italian who was equally enthusiastic. Our comfortable family run hotel with excellent food, for the week is located in a mountain hamlet in the meadows, so that a short stroll could find much of interest after a good day out exploring a good range of habitats further afield in search of butterflies etc

Full of pleasant surprises

A second Spring for us as we travelled to Sweden after our Spring was almost over. So we had all the flowers and birdsong that we don't usually get to hear in Britain. The people were very hospitable and the food delightful.

They do their utmost to give a very varied holiday in terms of places to visit & sites to see and have expert guides on location. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
