Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

We visited various sites to see rare plants including numerous orchid species, which were the main target of the weekend . We also saw an exciting variety of moths in the Saturday morning moth trap. we also had sightings of birds, butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies. The hotel was very comfortable with very helpful staff.

Naturetrek and the tour leader did everything they could to give us a lovely weekend break.

Excellently organised. Our guide was an excellent botanist and tutor. He knew the area very well and tailored our tour to suit the prevailing weather conditions. He was also sociable , amusing, and thoughtful of us.

Highly efficient and helpful.

Ours was primarily a botany focussed holiday with birds and butterflies added in. We enjoyed the excellent organisational skills of the tour leader and co leader. Their knowledge of all Florian and fauna was incredible. The family owned and managed hotel was superb with a Michelin Star chef part of the family! Each day we drove short distances up and down the Fassa Valley in Italy enjoying the stunning scenery with friendly like minded new friends..

Naturetrek Is a wildlife tour company that offers a huge variety of animal, plant and natural history tours worldwide.

North and South Uist were delightful. Our small group had an excellent guide and saw several rare bird and mammal species which were new to us. The hotel accommodation was very comfortable and the staff were friendly. As a vegetarian I was disappointed with the quality of food offered to me, compared with that offered to the meat and fish-eaters, and registered this complaint with Naturetrek. Otherwise the holiday was excellent.

WE have travelled with Naturetrek on ten occasions to date, and have always found them a first-class company to deal and travel with.

A nature-focused tour with a small group. Lead by an experienced Naturetrek guide and an excellent local naturalist. Emphasis was on birds, but other aspects of Romanian wildlife and history were covered, visiting the Carpathians, Danube Delta and Black Sea coastal regions.

Naturetrek. Very helpful, easy to talk to a knowledgeable person aboit any hitches in our late booking. Very good choice of accommodation. Excellent guide accompanying us throughout.

Everything organised for you; flights, transport, accommodation & meals. The choice of locations visited and the knowledge and experience of our guides could not be better.

Faultless and seamless from the moment you arrive at the airport. Information provided before the holiday, and follow ups afterwards were both excellent.

It was a terrific experience which more than met our expectations. We were led by two superb guides whose knowledge and awareness of wildlife was exemplary. This is quite an energetic trip with long days of enjoyment. The accommodation was of a high standard even though Romania is not a major tourist destination. We were delighted to add many new bird species to our previous experience as well as seeing Brown Bears, Golden Jackals, Fire Salamanders, Frogs, Turtles and Suslik.

The organisation was of a high standard throughout. We received detailed information and reviews and accounts of previous trips to this area soon after enquiring and even more detail after booking. The veracity of that information was impressive and we were pleased to have had such good preparation. When travelling to see wildlife we would expect surprises, adventure and some personal effort; there was plenty of such experience. As already mentioned, they employed guides and local facilities and personnel of the highest order.

Group of 15 with two guides based in Ehrwald in Austrian tyrol. The focus was on appreciation of Alpine plants in the late spring/early summer. The client group were all really enthusiastic about this and the guides very knowledgeable. It was at a relaxed pace and we used different cable cars or chairlifts on most days to walk short distances and appreciate the beautiful surroundings. The hotel and food was excellent!

Nature trek run trips focussed on some aspect of the beauty of the natural world and with each of my three trips with them I have always found the guide to be extremely knowledgeable, the holiday well thought through and well organised. It’s probably my favourite holiday company.

The arrangements from start to finish were excellent. The hotel was outstanding - good food and very comfortable. The daily trips out were wonderful and well-planned, taking into account the needs of the group, variety, length of trips etc. The area was outstanding - beautiful scenery, great nature, knowledgeable leaders, etc . . . . . All transport was taken care of - comfortable and safe drivers.

Excellent from the point of first enquiry - quick responses, wide variety of tours, interests and abilities catered for, every detail taken care of.

We had a wonderful holiday in Madagascar. Our hope of seeing lemurs and chameleons exceeded our expectations and the tsingy landscapes looked spectacular especially at sunrise / sunset. We travelled from north to south of the island. The accommodation was excellent, ranging from back to nature lodges in the wilderness to urban hotels near airports. Staff in all the establishments we stayed at were friendly and helpful. Our guide Flo and driver Felix in northern Madagascar made a great team. Flo was an excellent guide and passed on his knowledge of the animals, landscape and local culture of the areas we visited. He was always happy to help us when needed on the hikes during our trip. Lots of fun and a good sense of humour. We felt very comfortable and safe with Felix our driver, he negotiated the challenging road surfaces in our 4x4 vehicle with great care. In southern Madagascar our guide Mbola and driver John were both excellent. Mbola was passionate about the regeneration of nature in his country and was eager to pass on his knowledge to us. He knew where to find the territory of certain lemurs which improved our chance of good sightings. John drove us safely and was happy to stop at photo opportunities when asked. Our holiday certainly gave us special lasting memories.

This is the first time we have travelled with Naturetrek and was not disappointed. For my special birthday we planned visit Madagascar to hopefully see wildlife particularly lemurs and chameleons, also landscapes such as tsingy and spiney forest. As a couple we like to have a tailor-made holiday and Georgie put together an interesting and varied itinerary based on things we had requested to see / do. The pre-departure information was detailed and thorough, everything you need to know before travelling to Madagascar. Georgie responded promptly to our emails when we had a flight cancellation whilst in Madagascar and our itinerary had to be rearranged which was done seamlessly and worked out well. We would definitely recommend Naturtrek for wildlife / nature holidays.
