Ardnamurchan in Spring

This was a wildlife focussed trip to Ardnamurchan in Scotland. Our guide was very experienced and took us to various locations too see the animals we wanted to and organised our trips according to our wishes.. The bunkhouse was comfortable and the food was excellent, I had a very enjoyable time.

I have used Naturetrek a number of times and always found them helpful and well organised. The holiday itineraries are designed to give the customer the best experience and they respond well to customer feedback. The group size is compact an as a solo traveller I have always felt well looked after, my accomodation has never felt inferior.

Wildlife, scenery and good company

My holiday started badly as I was still waiting at Heathrow when I should have been in Glasgow! But the tour guide waited for me and that care and attention continued all week. Lots of wildlife, brilliant scenery, good food and accommodation. What could be better?

A wonderful wildlife experience

We spent a lovely week exploring the wilds of Ardnamurchan. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and knew the best spots to see a very wide range of wildlife.

Go Slow in the Carmarque with Naturetrek

Following the death of my husband I'm exploring different ways of going on holiday. I felt very well cared for on this holiday, and there was a good mixture of birding, walking and exploration of local towns. The emphasis was on Go Slow, which I appreciated and I thought the leaders were very good.

Did everything I wanted and more

I went on this trip to learn about dragonflies and damselflies. The leader Martin Pitt was excellent. He was so patinet and explained things well to a very diverse small group. He also had wonderful knowledge of birds, butterflies and flora. It achieved all I wanted to answer my objective "should I get to understand better and identify Odonata?"

Our group of 7 ranged from one professional naturalist who wanted to spot the local rareties (he had travelled 200. miles plus) to an elderly couple who were clearly just out for the walk. Martin coped with this wide range with patience and smiles and it was a really pleasant day.

Exploring Pamber Forest

Pamber Forest and Silchester Common Day 50Trip with Nautretrek

Rating for tour operator:

Our Naturetrek guide Martin Pitt was knowledgeable. He offered lots of information and was proactive in finding species for us to see. There is so much diversity of habitat at Pamber Forest that maybe the second stop, where the monoculture means a dearth of biodiversity doesn’t add much more? Next time I will check on the walking beforehand, as 4.5 hours without a break is more than I’m used to.

Wonderful Dorset Wildlife

A one day trip to Affpuddle forest, Lodmoor and Radipole Lake in Dorset. This was a small group day with a local expert guide. We visited 3 different habitats and saw a huge number of birds including a Dartford Warbler. Butterflies and dragonflies were also plentiful with a rare Silver Studded Blue butterfly sighted. Our guide, Byron had fantastic knowledge of the area and ensured that everyone saw everything.
