Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Birdwatching

Naturetrek

It was at Alladale Wilderness Reserve and was extremely well organised with a very enjoyable itinerary. I saw lots of the wildlife I was hoping to see and our Guide and the rangers were kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. The accommodation was first class and so was the food, service and hospitality.

Everything was very well organised from beginning to end and I didn't have to worry about anything.

Good accommodation, out on drives and for walks. Seeing most of what we'd hoped to see. Good, informative guides.

Naturetrek staff are always helpful, from the office or on tour. What is stated in the brochure is what you get.

A bird watching holiday of the highest calibre. Led by a highly experienced ornithologist, this five day tour was extremely rewarding and most enjoyable.

An extremely efficient tour operator with loads of sensible ideas with respect to what to take and expect. So preparation for the holiday was an easy task.

Our trip was with Naturetrek and called 'Poland's Mammals: In Search of the Eurasian Lynx'. Thanks to some excellent guiding we saw all the target species, including Lynx, Brown Bear, Wolf, Bison, Beaver and many more as well as some excellent bird species. The heavy snowfall was an added bonus as it is not often you get to throw snowballs in April!

We've been away with Naturetrek once before. They are always attentive to detail and work hard to deliver the very best experience for their clients. Highly recommended.

This was a one day bird watching fest. Our guide was nom knowledgeable about all of the nature we saw. We loved the slow pace and enjoyed the company of the guide and the other couple.

Have not used NatureTrek before, but will use again and recommend to friends and family.

A one day trip looking at the wildlife of th Lune Valley. Barrie was a first rate guide- knowledgeable, patient and good company. I learnt a lot and had a very enjoyable day. Well recommended.

Naturetrek. It was well organised.

The weather conditions were good for the first half of the day but then deteriorated into rain and thunderstorms. This affected what we saw and the whole experience. The sea conditions were relatively calm throughout. We didn’t see as much as I was hoping ie cetacean (other than a resident dolphin in Portland Harbour), Balearic Shearwaters and Storm Petrels. The highlight was the Manx Shearwaters but even these were distant. We did see all 3 Auks, Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Gannets, Rock Pipit and a distant Peregrine. The boat cabin was just about big enough for all 12 of us to cram into when it rained. There was no tea and coffee as per the trip description and there was not health and safety instructions which is customary on most boat trips. I had no idea whether there were life jackets on board and where they might be located. The trip leader was very very knowledgeable and friendly, and good at spotting things. I think we were probably just a bit unfortunate with the weather and sightings on the day!

Naturetrek See above also. I have been on many Naturetrek holidays and they are usually good to very good alround.

Stunning birds and mammals , fantastic scenery, great hotels, amazing guides with astounding bird spotting skills. Kenya is a delight to visit, the ultimate safari.

I have travelled with Naturetrek a number of times, always well organised, easy to book.

A great trip to see the birds and other wildlife of Donana and Extremadura in Spain. The leaders were excellent and a very friendly group of people enjoyed wonderful birdwatching, other wildlife, good food and fantastic scenery.

I found Naturetrek very efficient, the office responded very quickly to any queries and the predeparture information was excellent. Whilst away the tour leaders were very competent at showing all the group interesting birds, other wildlife. They also were very good at looking after our welfare and provided some great picnic lunches!
