Excellent birds and labscapes
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.





Very well organised by charming people. We were introduced to a large variety of species by knowledgable guides in glorious surroundings.
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 holiday that delivered even more than advertised
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.





Walking in the Picos de Europa
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 ...

Naturetrek. They do walking trips with wildlife interest.





Relaxing walks amongst Madeira's floating garden.
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.

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.





Butterflies/Natural History of the Cevennes National Park
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 ...

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.

Excellent trekking holiday with wonderful birds and flowers
Trekking in the High Atlas mountains is not for the faint hearted. The slopes are challenging but the scenery and flora and fauna are worth the hard work. Camping is a great way to really experience the outdoor adventure, especially with mules carrying our bags and the muleteers erecting the tents each night. The food in camp was varied and beautifully prepared by the cook. All we had to do was walk and take photos.
