Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Excellent pre-departure organisation and information Fantastic knowledgeable leaders Great hotels and food Visited great places for wildlife

Excellent - nothing to complain about!

This Naturetrek Go Slow in Austria trip was excellent all round. Beautiful location with good access to the surrounding mountains and valleys to look for alpine and other plants, birds, butterflies, and even to see beavers and find bats. Well led by two very knowledgeable leaders and lovely accommodation

All organisations excellent.

A nature trek to Bavaria, fully guided, for one week.

NatureTrek are well organised and communicate well throughout the process. Their guides are knowledgeable and friendly. The accommodation choice was excellent.

The wild flower meadows on the mountains were beautiful, we were privileged to see wild beavers. Hotel was excellent with plenty of good walking fairly nearby.

Very friendly and efficient and the leaders were knowledgeable.

We spent a magnificent holiday in and around the beautiful Outer Hebrides searching for and watching wildlife (mostly birds and mammals) with an excellent guide who knew the identity of all the 81 species of birds that we saw. Half of our week's trip was spent on a small ex-fishing boat equipped with comfortable (if small!) cabins and washing facilities, and provided with delicious meals. We toured around sea lochs of the Minch and visited the Shiant Islands where thousands of seabirds come to nest.. This was an amazing experience. Imagine sitting on-deck with a gin and tonic on a fine sunny, calm evening watching some 30,000 guillemots, razorbills and puffins circling around us and coming in to land on the cliffs just opposite our boat. The noise was almost deafening as they called out to their mates sitting on nests. Then imagine a trip around the islands on a rubber Zodiac boat where the birds were quite unafraid as we approached them bobbing on the water, bathing, preening and diving so close we could have touched them. Magic!. The rest of our week was spent ashore, staying in Stornoway and exploring the sights of Lewis and Harris each day to find myriad different birds: magnificent sea eagles, golden eagles plus otters, deer, and the ancient standing stones of Callanish.

The tour company (Naturetrek) specialises in small-group tours to interesting and unusual places specifically to view wildlife. The itinerary was carefully constructed to provide maximum chance of visiting beautiful and interesting habitats with spectacular views and abundant wildlife, especially birds. The office staff are always friendly and helpful with inquiries, and the the tours are provided with excellent, highly knowledgeable guides. Our guide on this trip was a bird expert but also a good all-round naturalist who knew about mammals, butterflies and plants. He was also great company!

Fantastic natural history week in eastern Poland. Extremely knowledgeable guides, good company, wonderful wildlife, great scenery.

Specialist wildlife tour operator. Trips are well organised and value for money. This was my fifth trip with Naturetrek and I will be travelling with them again.

A shirt nature trip to Romania, really nicely paced, packed with a wide variety of birds, amphibians, wild flowers, butterflies and some mammals. The guide was one of the best I have experienced and the accommodation and food very good. I do do love that with NatureTrek holidays, once you’ve paid for the trip it covers almost every expense.

Responsive, knowledgeable, polite, well organised, fairly priced.

I went on a naturetrek 8 day cruise to St Kilda and the out Hebrides. Our guide was knowledgable and looked after all our needs. The skipper and his mate were brilliant making sure we got to see wonderful sights and ensured our safety aat all times. Our chef served up delicious, varied and generous portions of food.

I have been on several Nature trek trips and they always deliver what they promise and make travelling easy whilst giving a good experience

Wildlife holiday that exceeded expectations. Magnificent scenery, beautiful wildflower meadows, lots of butterflies and countless birds, including the incredible Wall creeper. Regular Views of chamois and bears from accommodation

Nothing was too much trouble to ensure a nervous single had nothing to worry about

Uzbekistan's wildlife and culture. 10 days divided between four hotels with travel by bus/train. Moderately strenuous walks mostly viewing birdlife. Modest hotels, excellent food and good guides.

I have travelled with Naturetrek about six times and always had excellent service.
