Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

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.

A well thought out and executed small group tour, firstly visiting birding hotspots in south-west South Dakota, including: the Badlands, Black Hills, Mount Rushmore & Spearfish Canyon, with an excursion into Wyoming to see the iconic Devil’s Tower National Monument. Then, after a detour along scenic backroads, we ventured into little-visited North Dakota, to explore Theodore Roosevelt National Park and several wildlife reserves close to the Canadian border. A brilliant holiday for any bird or mammal enthusiast, whether an expert or a beginner.

Naturetrek take care of all the arrangements efficiently and without fuss. There is always someone to speak to in their office and their local expert guides are extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Sailing from Oban to the Inner and Outer Hebrides and visiting St Kilda watching wildlife on the water and on land with walks on the islands to look and listen for various wildlife as well as looking into the history of St Kilda. Seeing (and hearing) the sometimes abundant wildlife and viewing the stunning scenery of Scotland's west coast and islands was all part of this tour. The tour leader showed excellent knowledge of the wildlife and scenery and the crew of the ship was always helpful. For those of us less able to walk on the sometimes challenging terrain they organised trips on the inflatable boat along the coast to watch the birds and seals.

Naturetrek organises wildlife watching trips to stunning locations and chooses tour leaders with very good knowledge of the area and what to look out for. (I have been on several tours with this operator and enjoyed them all.)

The Uists, situated in the Outer Hebrides, offer an abundance of wildlife watching opportunities. Our visit in May with Naturetrek provided opportunities to see many raptors including White Tailed Sea-eagles, Golden eagles, Short-eared owls, Hen Harriers.. Other bird species included less confiding birds such as corncrake and dotterel; we had views of red-necked phalarope and 3 species of Diver. Often, we were torn as to which way to look – otter in one direction, porpoises in another and, look, there’s a great Northern Diver! The amazing expertise, patience and organisation of our guide was crucial to ‘being in the right place at the right time’. Much of the wildlife viewing was in beautiful unspoilt scenery. Our accommodation and the superb dining (fresh crab, hand -dived scallops amongst the specialities of the house) complemented the wild-life watching.

We have travelled with Naturetrek many times before and have found the company so helpful and reliable. A phonecall to the office invariably links one to someone who is keen to help and will do their best to do so. The expertise of their wildlife guides is incredible – not just the knowledge of wildlife and where to find it and how to recognise/ distinguish similar species, but also their abilities to share their love of the places visited incorporating cultural sites as well as places of especial scenic beauty, and great lunch spots. Do their guides ever sleep? – must do as they always seem refreshed, patient, enthusiastic, personable and great behind the vehicle wheel! Our guide in the Uists was no exception- brilliant!

This short holiday was with Naturetrek the compamy of choice for wildflife holidays. They are always excellent.

I've had many holidays andused for various various groups and all the exeriences have been excellent. The guides in particular are first class, second to none.

A 10 day trip staying in four different places with trips to from each. Had UK guide, local guide and special guides at all the cultural/historic sites,

Naturetrek is a delight to deal with while making booking etc and organised the whole trip very well
