A fantastic trip to the North East of the US

A birdwatching trip to Maine/New Hampshire. Led by two expert birders, staying in nice accommodation with a great group of people.

Madagascar's Lemurs

An interesting tour in Madagascar focusing on lemurs and, for this group, birds and anything else that crossed our path. The highlight for me was seeing and hearing the Indri lemurs. Their call must be experienced to be believed.

Rating for tour operator:

The tour was very well organised and expertly led. The two leaders (one UK and one Malagasy) were fully qualified and totally engaged in ensuring that all participants had a great experience. Issues were resolved calmly and efficiently.

Excellent birdwatching holiday in Bulgaria

I saw 180 species of birds including 6 new species for me . Have great memories of the views from our bus windows as we travelled along watching swallows , bee-eaters , shrikes , marsh harriers etc. Also enjoyed the company of other group members and tour leaders . All the accommodation was good and we were well looked after . Another good trip with Naturetrek .

Menorca in Autumn

This was our first visir to Menorca but not the first with Naturetrek and it met our expectencies as well if not better than previous trips. Great variety taking in a spectrum of interests in addition to the theme of birding, spanning botany, insects, reptiles, archeology and geology, to mention a few. The breadth of knowledge and interest of the two guides was a key stimulus to my enjoyment. One highlight was a realtime demonstration of ...

This was our first visir to Menorca but not the first with Naturetrek and it met our expectencies as well if not better than previous trips. Great variety taking in a spectrum of interests in addition to the theme of birding, spanning botany, insects, reptiles, archeology and geology, to mention a few. The breadth of knowledge and interest of the two guides was a key stimulus to my enjoyment. One highlight was a realtime demonstration of bird-ringing which picked up "typical" species were seen and ringed, including Robin, Sardinian and Dartford Warblers and even a Wryneck. The latter being only the second I have seen!

Rating for tour operator:

Naturetrek handling of the booking, flight management, hotel management trip itinerary scheduling was superb and the trip ran well despite weather disruption. The itinerary was enhanced by the range and knowledge of the two guides and in addition to the theme of birding, themes added were botany, insects, reptiles, archeology and geology to mention a few. The breadth of knowledge and interest of the two guides was a key stimulus to my enjoyment.

Birding and culture in Peru

An excellent organised tour with Naturetrek that focussed on birding in Southern Peru but with some cultural and historical elements e.g. Machu Picchu

Wonderful wildlife day

Spent a lovely day at Berry Head near Brixham looking for birds and various other flora and fauna. Despite the misty weather and occasional drizzle, we saw a wide range of both native and migratory birds on the headland along with a number of porpoise and tuna out at sea. Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.

I have been on a few Nature Trek trips, both week long holidays and day trips and have always been extremely happy with the pre-trip information and the guides. I am planning another trip with them in 2024

Stunning opportunity to explore Svalbard and its wildlife

This was a 10 day trip by boat from Longyearbjen circumnavigating Svalbard. We were so fortunate to have wonderful weather and the opportunity to see so much spectacular wildlife including sightings of unexpected cetacean species, and occasional very rare birds. The ships crew, expedition crew and Nature Trek guides were faultless

Nature Trek were incredibly well-organised and communicative despite a little bit of adversity! I always felt that I could trust them to let me know what was going on with necessary date changes etc

Excellent Autumn week on Menorca

1 week exploring Menorca under the expert guidance of our team leaders, who were always ready to offer advice and help in making the most of the wide-ranging and varied habitats, knowing where we were most likely to find the 'best' birds. All inclusive package with all transport, good accommodation and plenty of food with good choice. An excellent week with a lovely relaxed happy atmosphere.

Nature Trek organised everything including my particular requirements for flights. Always responded rapidly to questions, excellent communication and arrangements made it as stress free a any such journey could be. Would thoroughly recommend.
