Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

We had a week whale and dolphin watching and snorkelling from Keana, usually used by divers, with local marine life expert Chas Anderson and Naturetrek's Alison Steel. Most of the group were experienced, but Alison went out of her way to ensure the one beginner got as much out of her experience as the rest. Highlights were being in the water with whale sharks and mantas at the stern of the boat while we were anchored.

The main trip was excellently orgnaised and run and they were very flexible with our extension to a resort operated by another company afterwards.

As a first time traveler on my own I could not of asked for any more. The time I left the airport the information given to us for flights and everything was explained very easily which left me feeling very comfortable and now I feel a lot more positive and confident. Having a night spent at Bandos was absolutely beautiful and also having a change to learn to Snorkle out there with Alison was a great experience as I haven’t snorkelled much. The over all experience of learning to snorkel was super. The whole team on the boat and both leaders were amazing. The trip overall was phenomenal all the information about the Maldives was so fascinating to listen to listing about the dragon flys was amazing. All I can say is thank you to everyone I definitely would love to do another Naturetrek as I just love nature and animals Mammals.

Very well organised and anything went very smoothly.

We had a week on a boat looking for whales and dolphins by day and snorkelling 2 or 3 times each day. The highlights were being in the water after dinner alongside whale sharks and manta rays which were feeding off the plankton which was attracted to a light shown over the stern of the boat. We had excellent enthusiastic guides with us.

Naturetrek - a small company specialising in guiding their guests to appreciate the Natural world.

Borneo's rainforests - what gems they are. The privilege of spending time in some of the last virgin rainforest in the world and their inhabitants was incredible. What a place - Orang Utan, Proboscis Monkey, Colugo, Civets, the birds....

Very helpful, arranged extra days itinerary and accommodation

During seven days in Andalucia we searched for the Iberian lynx in the two remaining areas of this rare cat. The trip started in Coto Donana, a bird paradise south of Seville to finish the trip in the mountains north of Andujar. We had two fantastic lynx sightings and many birds were seen. The weather was not on our side with heavy rain most of the time in Andujar but this did not affect our mood. Our fantastic guide, Byron, kept the mood high even in this bad weather. Byron was very professional in his guiding, knowledgeable and engaging. The accommodation was very good throughout the trip. No luxury but clean and nice. The food was excellent where we could try many Spanish delicacies.

A very professional tour operator. Perfect service before the trip with clear information. We obtained past travel stories and species lists of what we might see prior to the trip. Very professional and knowledgeable guides. The choice of accommodation where location and atmosphere are prioritised instead of luxury is very good. We have previously traveled with Naturetrek in Brazil with the same experience as from this trip. Overall, an excellent tour operator.

Wildlife tour with Naturetrek to see Monarch butterflies, Humpback Whales , birds and ancient pyramids. Dazzling programme with full days , superb guiding, good hotels and local freshly cooked food. Friendly group with a mixture of interests. In fact a really fantastic experience.

Thorough pre-travel service, good updates and good advice and helpful and efficient service throughout. Excellent guides made sure that we saw absolutely everything and had such detailed knowledge of the birds and whales in particular.

From day one everything went smoothly and the trip was a total success on all counts. The wildlife was totally breath taking especially the 100's of species of birds and butterflies seen.

Friendly and always willing to help.

We travelled to Andalucia with Naturtrek in search of the elusive Iberian Lynx. It was our first venture into a group holiday and we were really impressed. The location, being out in nature all day, a highly knowledgeable guide and a lovely group of people all made it memorable. We did see the lynx, though sadly only once and briefly, but there was plenty of other wildlife, birds and good food to keep us occupied.

Naturetrek were great, everything was very well organised, from the pre-holiday information to all the logistics while we were away. The level of knowledge of our guide, Byron, was phenomenal, and it was lovely to be so well looked after.

Fantastic holiday , Flown from Heathrow to Male Maldives. Sea ferry to Bandos for one night/ day before transfer to Keana for rest of holiday . Snorkeling sessions morning and late afternoon, sailing during day whale and dolphin watching, Visit to inhabited island and Male town. Team leader information sessions. days fully supported by excellent hospitality

From provision of holiday information, to booking and actual holiday Naturetrek provided an excellent service and full support.

We had an amazing guide who had the eyes and ears of a super human. He found us many awesome birds that no one else could see or hear. And throw in the incredible Mayan ruins of Tikal, and it made for a very memorable trip.

Naturetrek are very professional. I have travelled with them for a number of years, and know I can trust them to sort everything out.
