Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Visited a number of sites and spent long days walking on trails and roads. The tour was very successful in terms of our goal, which was finding a wide variety of Colombian birds - and in spending time in a variety of tropical mountain environments, particularly tropical rainforests. Our guide, Juan Manuel Cardona, was really excellent: he was very skilled at locating local species of birds and (importantly) making sure everyone saw every bird. He was also quite knowledgeable about the other flora and fauna. Accommodations were very good, as was food. I think at the end we were all quite pleased with the trip. My partner and I were both really glad that we took this tour.

From start to finish, very helpful. The tour was well planned. My partner and I were particularly impressed by the help we received from the tour company in dealing with a specific difficult situation that we encountered: it turned out that our travel insurance did not cover one part of the trip itinerary; the company made alternative and very satisfactory arrangements for us. We will likely use this tour operator again.

We had an amazing roundtrip in Tasmania visiting different habitats with a very knowledgable guide. Wildlife sightings were plenty and with lots of different mammals and birds. I can highly recommend this tour to see several Australian key species. Our tour guide was lovely and her enthusiasm for Tasmania infectious. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Detailed trip information prior to departure was provided. The operator responded prompt to any questions and was helpful.

Birdwatching and botany over Christmas in Cyprus. The guides were very knowledgeable I managed to see 3 new birds on this trip

The tour was well organized and everything went without a hitch.

it was a great opportunity to experience the varied environments in Costa Rica and see a huge range of wildlife in the company of very knowledgeable guides.

very efficient

Single lodge 7 day safari to South Luanga NP, staying at Kafunta Lodge

Naturetrek - bargain mammals offer - involvement was limited to arranging tour - no operatives at the lodge

It was a 7 day "Go Slow" holiday in Gran Canaria, running from 22nd to 29th December 2023. The focus was on the variety flora and fauna of the island, together with coverage of its history and topography. We were based for the week in the quieter north west region and set out each day with a particular objective.

The tour was run by Naturetrek who, as their name suggests, specialise in small group holidays that focus on aspects of nature around the world. They offer a very wide range of tours that ought to cover the needs of any traveller who has an interest in the natural world, be that mammals, flowers, insects or many other features.

This was a short intense Birding/Wildlife holiday, we where only away 9 days, 2 days to get there, 2days to get back and 5 dawn to dusk days on safari. I that time we saw just about all the mammal's we could see(-Rhino) and the bird tally was 200 plus species.

I have been traveling with Naturetrek for the last 20 years, in the early days we would steal their Itinerates, hire the same guides and stay in the same accommodation, Later when I was pushing 80 we appreciated a slower pace and now having just passed 86, I am thinking of a trip to Central America, with naturetrek off course.

I planned the holiday and Naturetrek arranged all including accommodation and flights. I use Naturetrek often they are an excellent wildlife tour company and of course the largest British nature tour company. Most wildlife subjects are covered, not just birding holidays.

I have used Naturetrek for several years. They offer a variety of wildlife related subjects.

This was an outstanding holiday provided by Naturetrek UK, combining breath-taking landscapes, colourful birds and equally colourful local customs and excellent cuisine. Very diverse and expertly led by both the Naturetrek guide - Robin Smith and the local guides, especially of note Santi and Miguel, the tour delivered a very good overview of the country and its nature.

This is not the first tour that we participate on which is organised by Naturetrek, but it was one of the best to date! It has to be noted that Naturetrek provide consistently good value and excellent content wildlife holidays, which are expertly led by local guides, as well as by the Naturetrek operatives. The accommodation and food were also of very good quality, and the whole organisation was seamless, but once again, a special mention goes to the guides, who made this a very memorable experience!

We spent a couple of days in Quito and then embarked on a small-boat cruise for 2 weeks around the Galapagos islands. The landscape is amazing and the wildlife was a joy to see. We landed on numerous island as well as going on panga rides, snorkeling and kayaking.

I have traveled with Naturetrek on several occasions - they are always my first choice when planning a new trip. They specialise in wildlife holidays and can always be relied upon to provide good guides and excellent support throughout the trip.
