Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

We enjoyed the most amazing trip to the Antarctic Peninsula via the Falklands and South Georgia. It was an opportunity to visit one the planets most important ecosystems.

Naturetrek are a tour operator I would thoroughly recommend. They manage to get us onto the Oceanwide boat despite our flight to Argentina being cancelled and they arranged alternative flights to get us to the departure port.

We chose Naturetrek as we have always experienced great trips with them. It was a relatively small ship - 100 guests which we wanted because of easier access to zodiacs for landing and zodiac safaris. They were really well organised and took us to some magnificent places. The wildlife was outstanding and the scenery indescribable it was that good. Weather was a factor and so was bird flu but limitations due to both these were managed incredibly well to maximise our experience. I would recommend this trip to anyone but maybe hold off until the bird flu is less of a factor.

Naturetrek always look after their guests really well. In this instance, with 100 of us, getting us there and back was done very well. The Naturetrek guides dovetailed very well with the expedition leaders/naturalists and boat handlers in the Oceanwide crew. Lots of advice available and informative about the wildlife and interesting in lectures.

The holiday was a weekend Nature Trek in the Forest of Dean with accommodation at the Speech House in Coleford. The focus was on viewing the birdlife but it also included spotting small mammals, such as deer and wild boar.

The holiday was well organised with good pre-departure information. We had a very well informed group leader who did his utmost to show us all the wildlife in the area. The hotel accommodation was comfortable and the food was excellent. The group leader generated an excellent atmosphere in the group and fully answered all our questions.

Ghana is very hot and sticky, but if you have got to go to see the Picathartes and Pangolins. Then you have to go with naturetrek We were looked after so well by the local guide company Lodges with warm / hot water and very tasty food Snacks while travelling and so very helpfull and friendly

Naturetrek helped me so much to apply for my Ghana visa. Which I could not have done without them

A wonderful tour of different habitats in southern Costa Rica. We visited mountains, rainforests and the coast, all with an overwhelming variety of flora and fauna. All the accommodation was exceptional. Very difficult to leave!

Naturetrek consistently provide brilliant holidays for me and my family. Their impeccable care, flexibility and creativity with tailormade itineraries make them my first choice every time.

A two week trip. We stayed at lodges situated in different habitats: high hills (1200m), rainforest, wetland, coast/mangrove, to experience the different flora and fauna in each; each for two or three nights. We were a group of 6 eco-minded friends. Two of us had visited CR before, so knew that everyone was in for a wildlife extravaganza. No one was disappointed! The itinerary worked very well.

The Naturetrek team were very helpful, knowledgeable and accomodating in putting together the itinerary, giving us choices and ideas, as well as being happy to include our own. All instructions, plans, flight and transfer details and safety procedures were meticulously laid out and easy to understand The whole trip went incredibly well, with all accomodations, guides, drivers, food, etc, of a high standard. All topped by an 'icing' of superb, unforgetable flora and fauna.

A great combination of birds, amazing desert landscapes and cultural experiences.

Naturetrek provided an excellent well thought-through itinerary and the two nature guides were superb.

Exhalent wildlife watching with knowledgeable and articulate guides and very good vehicles. a minor problem on arrival ( not the fault of NatureTrek} stopped me giving an excellent rating.

I've been on more than 20 NatureTrek holidays and have been disappointed only once.

This trip was a desert featured trip visiting also the High Atlas mountains, the edge of the Sahara plus Oasis and the desert Coast at Agadir. All the main birds were seen. Pharaoh Eagle Owl, Egyptian Nightjar and Bald Ibis 167 in total

We have travelled a few times with Naturetrek, on this occasion their trip offered excellent value for money. Their guides were also excellent. They knew where to look for all the key species, utilising local guides for the difficult to find birds, such as Pharaoh Eagle Owl & particularly the Egyptian Nightjar, where the local goat herder locates the roosting bird and takes the tour to see it.

A tour of Thai wetlands and forests aimed at seeing a great variety of birds.

Good organisation and good response to hitches (on earlier trips).
