Galapagos: An unforgettable adventure
The world of the Galapagos was revealed to travellers by a remarkable guide, Darwin, who guardianship of these islands is evident in his depth of knowledge and delight in sharing their home. It has been an unforgettable and moving experience.

Highly professional. Our group was met at every point in this holiday by competent, local staff. Every need was met with courtesy and respect. The only surprise on the thoroughly well-organised itinerary was its delivery beyond my wildest dreams.





Bird watching
The leader was very knowledgeable in all aspects of bird recognition and bird songs. Hotel was great and restaurant great

Ecuadorean adventure
Everything about this holiday was terrific. Knowledgeable guides, great service, accommodation and food. The best bit was the wildlife. Swimming with sharks, turtles, sea lions and penguins on the same session! Ecuadorean Amazon was also brilliant. Darwin our guide was incredible.

Kept us well informed throughout so felt they took our safety seriously especially when there had been civil unrest.





Fleeting glimpse of an Iberian Lynx
5 nights in 2 contrasting areas of Andalucia, beautiful scenery, birds large and small, wild boar, otters, red deer....fleeting glimpse of the rare Iberian Lynx. A small group divided between 2 vehicles, 2 brilliant local guides who both spoke good English.

First time we have used Naturetrek. Fun being with a small like-minded group. Good value holidays. Focus fully on nature.





Extra special in Extremadura
Birdwatching in Extremadura in a small group we stayed in a lovely finca with great hosts and wonderful food. There were so many birds within the grounds such as shrikes and bee eaters. We had 2 expert guides with us who ensured that we experienced all the birding highlights that the area had to offer. Our particular highlights were Spanish Imperial Eagle, black storks and of course the bee eaters.

Very comprehensive information pack with itinerary, previous tour reports and links to the finca and area. Always helpful and prompt to reply when we had any questions.





enthralling
The birding holiday to Coto Donana, Spain had everything I had hoped for. Our very knowledgable and friendly guide took us to many of the best spots around the delta and we saw a vast array of birds to the delight of all on the trip. Besides being an expert on bird identification our guide knew a great deal about the wild flowers and insects which greatly added to our overall experience.

Naturetrek lived up to all our expectations in terms of organisation and provision of a superb holiday.





Wonderful experience!
Birdwatching in El Coto Donana just outside Seville. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and organised the whole trip very well. Small group of like-minded people staying in El Rocio, a small town which is reminiscent of a film set for a cowboy story. Busy but relaxed schedule.

Naturetrek provide an excellent service - well organised and helpful. All the travel documents are supplied by post accompanied by clear and concise information sheet.





Satisfyingly stimulating
I had wanted to visit Corfu for many years, and this April trip ticked all the boxes for me. The island was quiet, green and beautiful this time of the year; the hotel welcomed us warmly and was well-chosen for its site. The Albanian guide could not be faulted in any way, showing not only his wide knowledge of the birdlife in particular, but a caring and thoughtful approach to the individual needs of the guests. His sense of humour was a bonus.

Personal service, very informative, responsive to queries, spot on with detail and information, well-researched locations and guides, reasonable pricing.





Fantastic Birdwatching in Spain
We travelled to Coto Donana and Extramadura in Spain with Naturetrek in a group of 14 with two leaders. Both leaders were outstanding bird spotters (both seeing and hearing), and they worked hard to ensure everyone got on to the birds that were found. We found the majority of the target species, the only ones missed (waders) were due to there being too much water! Everything was extremely well organised throughout.

The organisation of the holiday from the booking process through to asking for feedback as soon as we got back was excellent. Naturetrek provided excellent information about the holiday with access to previous trip reports, and made everything very easy and straightforward for us.
