we visited mindo for three days then down to sani lodge for three days and finished in valcabamba again for three days we saw the six families we asked for and altogether we saw 363 species including 8 antpittas 6 owls and over 30 tanagers to mention a few.

the ground operaters in ecuador where outstanding the guides they arranged for us where again outstanding nothing was to much cannot speak highly enough of them thanks naturetrek and neblina forest.

We had a guided tour of north-west Corsica in September 2014. The guide was excellent and very knowledgable especially about the flora on the Island. We had spent a week on our own before joining the Naturetrek tour, and as we spent more time with our guide the more we understood the history and way of life on the island. Nothing was too much trouble for the guide and he was very happy to help all the members of the party to enjoy the week. We had a lot of bird watchers in the party and our guide was very good at getting some very lively and fun debates going in the evening. All in all very good holiday and we would definitely use this tour company again and we would like to return to Corsica.

WE wanted to spend an extra week on Corsica and Natjretrek were very helpful arranging flights and keeping us informed about how and where to meet the rest of the party. would very happily use them in the future.

The holiday was a birdwatching trip to North West Ecuador covering the areas east and west of the Andes. Accommodation was at Lodges set up for Birding / Wildlife enthusiasts all of which were superb with fantastic amenities, comfortable rooms and the food throughout was plentiful, fresh and of a really good quality. The guide Alejandro Solano was top class, as good if not better than any guide I have been with. I would certainly book an holiday just because he was the guide on it.

The holiday was booked through Naturetrek. This was the first time I have been with them and I would not hesitate to book with them again. I spoke to a few members of staff on the telephone and all were very helpful. They even booked us to depart from a local airport without us having to ask which was much appreciated. When arriving in Ecuador their local agents could not do enough for you.

I went on the nature trek lemur tour in Madagascar and aided by the knowledgeable guides we had superb views of a huge array of wildlife including lemurs , boas Giraffe necked weevil, the elusive fossa and numerous bird species. We visited a number of the national parks and reserves as well as some conservation projects and a paper making project. We travelled in a minibus and stayed in hotels and lodges which varied in standard but were all quite acceptable and very comfortable. Loads of lovely food and the meals were very social I had a great trip !

The trip was very well organised and the very enthusiastic guides were flexible in trying to meet every bodies expectations I had a super time and would use nature trek again and would love to re visit Madagascar and saviour more of its unique biodiversity

Flew to Madrid, mini bus to our guest house, lovely welcome by a Spanish family. Home cooking throughout. Expert tour guide took us to all the best places, felt we had seen a non tourist area of Spain and the best of it's wildlife. Marvellous.

Naturetrek looks after you so I feel I can go on my own with them as a single female and not be apprehensive, or I can take my very elderly aunt and not be worried about her welfare. And they really know where all the best wildlife spots are.

After a long journey we were greeted with a fruit cocktail to revive us,then taken to our spacious rooms.Then it was birding, birding, birding,with our excellent guides.A truly memorable holiday.

As this was the first tour to Honduras there were a few teething troubles,but with these overcome,and with the efficiency of our guide Richard,the rest of the holiday was stress free and relaxing.I hope to be travelling with the company at a future date.

A wonderful holiday in the high Arctic aboard a Naturetrek chartered vessel (MV Ortelius). Expectations were high but the wildlife and scenery easily exceeded our wildest dreams! Polar Bears, Walrus, huge sea bird colonies, Blue, Humpback and Minke Whales were amongst the many wildlife highlights. All this with spectacular scenery throughout. The boat, an ice-strengthened expedition vessel, was crewed by a professional and friendly team and Naturetrek also sent 3 of their own tour leaders. Needless to say there was a wealth of knowledge aboard which proved invaluable for the exciting daily land excursions and absorbing evening lectures. This holiday comes highly recommended!

Naturetrek were friendly and helpful throughout the entire process and provided extensive pre tour information, ensuring we were well prepared for the holiday. I would highly recommend them and look forward to travelling with them again.

Billed as Autumn in Hungary- I was desperate to see the migration of the cranes. It was wonderful. Thousands of birds flowing overhead, all commenting to each other and filling the dusk. I loved seeing so much of the countryside - little villages with roofs slipping towards the ground; shepherds with their assorted flocks; herds of grey cattle, heads heavy with horns. The accommodation was fie - the Hotel Nomad in the hills was superb. I could not believe that I had all that space to myself. Knowledgeable guides, considerate to meet the needs of all and a pace that suited me just fine. I really appreciated my two nights footloose in Budapest at the end - a chance to explore a fascinating city. Being there for national day was a major plus. Music on the Danube.....

naturetrek - the third time I have travelled with them and not the last. Previous ours have been mainly mammal focused but each time the attention to detail and concern for the customer has been hugely apparent.

We spent 2 weeks on Vancouver Island with a Nature Trek holiday viewing wildlife from sea otters to grizzly bears. The holiday was very well organised with expert guidance and a comprehensive itinerary that delivered memorable sightings and wonderful photographs.

Nature Trek delivered a comprehensive holiday that exceeded our expectations.

Our holiday was 5 days in Northern Spain on a Naturetrek Tour called Wolves and Great Bustards. We saw both and a great deal more wildlife too! It's a beautiful and interesting area of Spain. We were lucky with the weather too.

The tour was very well organised. Our guides were friendly, welcoming, informative and very hardworking. The group size was good and a great group of people. Hotel and food was good too - local wine included in the price! I genuinely can't find fault
