Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Travel arrangements excellent. Accommodation and meals provided were good and catered to all tastes. Guides were knowledgeable and really made the trip a success.

This is my second trip with Naturetrek and I intend to use them again in future. For birdwatchers and naturalists this is an excellent trip.

The holiday exceeded my expectations. Transylvania felt like a very special place - gorgeous forests, lush meadows, wonderful wildlife, shepherds with their sheep, farmers still using horse and cart for transport, mobile bee hives, and of course bears! We were very fortunate to see good numbers of bears at the two hides we visited, and even saw a female bear with a cub on the cliff face opposite the hotel. The UK and local guides had excellent knowledge of the local wildlife, how it is managed and the culture of Transylvania, and were good company. The hotel was comfortable and welcoming and we were spoilt with Romanian home cooking in the evenings and fantastic picnic lunches.

Naturetrek provided very good service and as always an excellent tour leader. I would recommend them.

The tour took us to a range of upland and lowland sites in central Sweden. The guides were excellent at finding birds and talking about them. The group rubbed along very well. Accommodation was of a high standard and the food was fantastic.

All the organisation by Naturetrek was very efficient.

We were in the Pyrenees, discovering their glories; a wonderfully diverse flora and fauna and magnificent terrain.

It seems to be an organisation full of experts. We were looked after with great care and courtesy.

A Wild Life trip to the Brazilian Pantanal and the Iguazu Falls. Outstanding tour guides, excellent accommodation and very good transportation. Everything occurred according to plan with seamless transfers from one activity/location to another.

Very professional, approachable, friendly and accommodating. With exceptional knowledge of the many locations, environments and wildlife of their advertised holidays. The best of the best.

We were very unlucky with the weather, when we went up in a cable car it snowed quite heavily at the top. We were also bird, butterfly and flower watching and these elements of the holiday were very good with knowledgeable and very efficient guides. Unfortunately because of the weather and the unfitness of some of the participants we were not able to walk as far as I would have like. The hotels, especially the first one were very good and very friendly with good food.

Naturetrek. They do walking trips with wildlife interest.

From our elevated position above Funchal we enjoyed fine views over the city and bay before the group met for breakfast. Our experienced and thoughtful leaders carefully selected daily walks to identify the endemic plants and birds amongst spectacular mountain and coastal scenery. Why are they here, how do they reproduce? The enthusiastic group had so many questions that were helpfully answered in the field or during tasty picnic lunches. We chatted, we laughed and above all we appreciated our unique surroundings so skilfully interpreted by our wonderful guides.

Naturetrek produce an outstanding brochure and website. From the moment you express an interest in one of their tours you benefit from highly professional advice and organisation and nothing seems to be a problem for their experienced staff. Enquiries by email or phone receive a prompt response. Documentation for the tours is both instructive and stimulating and always arrives on time. Special arrangements like flights from regional airports, airport pickupsand extended stays are well managed and make travelling more of a pleasure. This is a company that cares about its clients, wildlife and the natural environment where the two come together.

We enjoyed unusually good weather for a great scenery and wildlife spotting experience. From Seward we took a boat trip through Resurrection Bay and beyond seeing sea otters, tufted and horned puffins, seals, orcas, humpback whales.Taking the road to Denali National Park agin stunningly scenic, we visited the Exit Glacier and several nature reserves. At Denali we had great views of moose and beavers and grizzly bears at a distance. Barrow on the Arctic coast was very special for the ice and birds. More birds in and around Fairbanks meant the enjoyment never stopped.

Naturetrek put together a gem of a holiday with this one. Variety of settings, great wildlife and very good guides in Gerald and Franc.

An eight day fully escorted natural history holiday focusing mainly on butterflies but also with emphasis on moths, birds, plants and scenery. Party consisted of 7 members including the guide, staying in a family run hotel in Cocures just outside Florac. With the exception of the travelling days, all days consisted of 9 - 10 hours in the field and included a picnic lunch. As always on this type of holiday, the activities were weather dependant but the guide had plenty of back-up options to cover the poor weather that we experienced for two days. As usual with this company, all of our expectations were met.

Have travelled with Naturtrek many times over the a number of years. Have always experienced excellent service with them. We have only had one problem them which was immediately resolved to our satisfaction. Naturetrek appear to be going from strength to strength, and appear to be steadily expanding to cope with this.

Wild flowers of the Scilly Isles. A lovely informative was to appreciate and enjoy these beautiful islands.

Naturetrek Wild flowers of Scilly Isles A lovely way to appreciate 5 of these beautiful islands, each of them different. Led by a tour manager who was enthusiastic and informative. The accomodation was comfortable and easily accessible for the harbour.
