Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

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.

Naturetrek who specialise in nature tours lead by experienced and knowledgeable guides

A lovely evening

He was so knowledgeable and helped us spot so many species

3 days staying at the amazing Morton Manor, in Corfe Castle, filled with fascinating insight into the reptiles and Amphibians of Dorset. A quite unique experience.

Naturetrek go above and beyond ensuring the holiday is perfect from start to finish

All target species were seen/heard well. 10 + separate otter sightings, both white tailed and golden eagles, sea birds all seen well plus minke whale and dolphins. Accommodation and food very good and comfortable. Leader very knowledgeable and friendly.Process of booking for holiday very good and Nature Trek staff very efficeint.

Always on the ball and all procedures efficient

A group holiday with two guides (local Romanian and British) going to the best locations to catch sight of particular species, principally birds, though the flowers were also very good, and the bears almost stole the show at the start of the trip. Four days spent on the water allowed us to get very close to the birds in the reed beds and at the same time made for a very tranquil experience.

Naturetrek gives very detailed information pre-booking and in preparation for the trip. Accommodation is often necessarily simple but they endeavour to make sure that it works well. The guides try to ensure that everyone can see/hear what's happening and feels engaged. They are very active in seeking feedback on potential improvements.

7 days spent in the Picos Mountains, Spain was such a wonderful experience that I want to go again. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and apart from one day the weather and temperatures perfect. We had it all, scenery birds mammals butterflies and the alpine flowers lovely.

I have been with Naturetrek before and I can’t fault them, I find them very professional and friendly and the holiday went without any problems owing to their organisation.

We had a one week guided group tour with Naturetrek in the Algarve. As with the previous year, we were pleased with the organisation, knowledge and costs. We will do another.

Well organised, good accommodation, good food and excellent, friendly knowledge from the ornothologist and botanist.
