Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

The week's holiday was primarily a photography trip to the Isle of Mull. We took several boat trips to see white tailed sea eagles and to visit Iona, Staffa and Lunga as well as pre-breakfast searches for otters around the loch. The holiday was not of the relaxing kind but instead was jam packed with sights and learning that was thoroughly enjoyable. The group was small and sociable, the hotel perfect for my needs with friendly staff and the transport between outings efficient and comfortable. When the weather was unkind, we had plenty to keep us occupied. I loved every minute and could have stayed longer.

I have used Naturetrek many times over the last decade or more. Not everything has been plain sailing on each trip due to cancellations of flights and indeed, whole holidays, due to strikes etc. but on each occasion Naturetrek has been on the other end of the phone quickly and with excellent advice. The service I have received has been excellent which is why I continue to book with them for peace of mind. I usually travel with my husband but on this occasion I went on my own and felt very able to do that knowing the company as I do, and I felt safe and looked after throughout. Naturetrek staff are personable, good humoured and knowledgeable and their trips well thought out.

A fantastic holiday. The guides, accommodation and food were all first rate. I had a great experience and got to see a great variety of birds and other wildlife.

Everything was easy to book and the whole trip very well organised. All our needs catered for.

It was based in the south of France with the emphasis on bird watching. The guides were excellent and determined to show us as much as they possibly could. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was comfortable and in lovely gardens.

Nature trek are efficient and friendly when you contact them. If they don't know the answer to your query they will find out.

A good two centre holiday of nature field trips around the valleys and peaks of the Picos. Wonderful upland grasslands full of flowers, orchids and butterflies. We were very lucky to see a magnificent adult lammergeier glide close by us. ‘Good eyes’ in our leaders and the group made many memorable sightings. Our accommodation was comfortable, the crew in Arenas de Cabrales were incredibly welcoming.

Naturetrek staff were very helpful and supportive during initial enquiries and throughout the pre-departure phase. Transport was comfortable. The tour leaders kept us going with local knowledge, briefings and resourcefulness.

Day trip to Minsmere RSPB reserve with guide Brian Small. Can't praise Brian too highly - he was so full of information about every bird we saw or heard, and was very keen to pass this info on. He answered every question we had very clearly and was very warm and engaging.

Trip organised very efficiently - we didn't have any complaints at all.

A seven day exploration of the nature and beauty of the Isles of Scilly led by outstanding guides. Visiting all the islands, we discovered each of their different characters, as well as spotting sea birds, insects and flowers.

Naturetrek are highly dependable for no fuss travel, accommodation and local knowledge. They have given me access to destinations I would not have reached on my own, and sights and sounds I could not have experienced without their knowledge

Bird watching / nature watching with 2 guides.

Naturetrek. Used 4 times now. Each time really well organised. Excellent advice and very helpful.

I travelled with eleven other participants on the Naturetrek holiday Gambia in Style in April 2023. This was my first biring holiday to the tropics, and in the course of a single week We found over 160 species, with 132 lifers for me personally. Among these were many species of colourful kingfishers, rollers ands beeeaters, as well as many kinds of sunbird. Mammals included four species of monkey incuding Teminck's Red Colobus and Patas Monkey as well as a large troupe of Guinea Baboons. Reptiles included West African Crocodile and Nile Monitor. Accomodation was excellent and the food was very good. I would certainly travel there again.

Naturetrek has been running holidays to the Gambia and elsewhere for many years and I have travelled to many parts of Europe with them before, but this was my first African trip. Everythiomg went smoothly and the tour rep and local guides were all excellent.

Primarily a bird watching holiday, with any local animals to be be seen. very good weather, nice people, private well conserved and safe area looked after by local tribe.
