Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Throughly enjoyable holiday lead by an extremely good guide. Visiting two very different wildlife areas, beautiful scenery, bountiful birds and the icing on the cake a glimpse of the Iberian Lynx. Good food and comfortable accommodation.

This is my third Naturetrek holiday. The guides have all been excellent and the standard of the holidays very good.

My colleague and I had the pleasure to be hosted one week by two Naturetrek guides around the National Park Donana and the nearby mountains. We saw a lot of special endemic birds like Spanish Imperial Eagle, Spanish Sparrow, Iberian Grey Shrike and Iberian Green Woodpecker and much more. Thereby, we always were scanning the landscape thoroughly after the Iberian Lynx. And on the last day, we had the luck to see three of them strolling around. What an amazing experience!

Very well organized and our two tour leaders were great guides through all the days. We enjoyed it a lot and are looking forwart for our next Naturetrek holydays.

A great birdwatching tour with an excellent leader. Food and lodges were great. Travel between sites and the flexible schedule meant the tour was managed effectively to get the most from every day. Would happily recommend to anyone with an interest in birding overseas.

Naturerek. Hassle free, one stop booking and an excellent itinerary, Customer service is also excellent.

Fabulous trip, staying in Jackson Hole (2n), West Yellowstone (3n) and Gardiner (4n). Saw moose and elk in Grand Teton NP along with glorious views of the Tetons. Wonderful to see Yellowstone Park covered in snow with bison and elk scratching around for the grass. Coyotes galore including 4 feasting on an old bison kill. Also saw wolves 3 days in a row although they were so far away and only visible through a viewing scope

Naturetrek - a great tour operator for mammal, bird, insect and botany holidays. I've travelled with them several times now and all tours have been wonderful and so well organised. Great tour leaders with so much knowledge to pass on

This ticked all the boxes. An amazing experience full of oohs and aahs! From fantastic scenery to wonderful wildlife to the experience of a small group with almost individual attention from our guide.

Having travelled with Naturetrek before, I expected and got their impeccable planning. Very easy to contact and kept well informed throughout.

Starting with meeting the tour guide at the hotel to ending the trip I couldn't fault the experience. The hotel room was very comfortable and the food very good. The tour guide was well prepared and knowledgeable as well as being friendly. He knew where to find good places to see as many birds as we could and could spot them when we probably wouldn't have.

Although I was fairly late in booking the holiday the tour operator was able to accommodate me and phoned back as promised to confirm my booking. They were polite and helpful. Documentation was sent out promptly. Information on the website was accurate and clear.

We were fortunate to be led by Roland Rumm whose infectious enthusiasm, incredible ear for birds, superb knowledge and ability to build a team ensured we had a fabulous time. The scenery was spectacular: the erupting Volvan de Fuego, the old colonial city of Antigua, the cloud forest habitats and the Jungle at Tikal, punctuated by towering Mayan temples. We stayed in some superb accommodation, from city hotels to jungle lodges. We saw over 370 species of birds, including the stunning Resplendent Quetzal, the Pink-headed Warbler, the Azure-rumped Tanager and the Wine-throated Hummingbird. It was an action-packed adventure which delivered sensational surprises from start to finish.

Naturetrek provided a first class service: its paperwork and phone communication prior to the trip; arranging for us to arrive two days early to enjoy longer in Antigua; arranging an extension at the end to see the Quetzal.

Safari to Tanzania with excellent local guide/driver. Good variety of habitats and a diverse range of wildlife from big cats to small birds. All accommodation was very good and the itinerary was well thought out. Highlights were seeing the Great Plains migration of wildebeest and zebras, lots of lions, elephants, hippos and seeing lions and leopards sleeping high up in trees. We saw about 250 species of birds as well.

Very reliable - I have travelled many times and to many places with Naturetrek. They provide well planned itineraries, choose knowledgeable and reliable local guides and select good accommodation. They are also flexible in making travel arrangements in relation to using different airports and to adding on extra days.

Naturewatching from dawn to dusk in places you’d never find by yourself. So well organised, lovely accommodation and food. Best way to spend Xmas ..ever!

Very supportive and easy to communicate with as I needed at short notice to get extra help to get on the holiday. Value for money and holidays were well set up and organised . And great fun.

Visiting many birding hotspots with lovely accommodation and the extra pleasures of visiting Antigua and some of the Mayan ruins. Outstanding guide

Very efficient and helpful
