Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

A two centre holiday allowing us access to a large national park and to experience the wildlife and culture on the Eastern borders of Poland. Food and accommodation were very good and catered for vegetarians.

Naturetrek specialise in wildlife holidays and consequently have committed and expert guides who do their best to enable you to see as much as possible - given wildlife is unpredictable They gave good pre departure information and support and on the ground the guides looked after us brilliantly.

This was one of the best holidays I have ever been on. From enquiring about the holiday, to booking and participating we received first class care. Our guide, Roland Rumm was energetic, personable and knowledgeable. His keen sense of hearing enabled us to locate difficult-to-see birds. Our local guide, Freddie, also went above and beyond expectations to locate a Horned Guan in very difficult terrain.

In my experience, Naturetrek is a first class tour operator. The office staff are polite, patent and helpful. The pre-departure information was very informative and the holiday was well-organised.

A small group holiday to watch the migration of birds across the Strats of Gibraltar. Well organised with excellent guides. The accommodation and food was first class and we had first rate picnics( with wine) provided every day. As well as seeing a huge variety of birds we also enjoyed a whale watching trip.

Naturek is a highly efficient tour operator who keep all customers well informed and provide excellent pre trip packs and tour reports. They are also available to answer any questions at any time and suggest alternative travel arrangements.

A unique trip to Baja California to see Grey Whales (and interact with them) Blue whales, Humpbacks, Dolphins both Common and Bottlenose, Finn Whales and a host of other wildlife. The trip was excellently led by the wildlife naturalists and the captain of The Searcher. A true trip of a lifetime!! The crew and support people were all excellent. We have been to places few people have been to, a truly remarkable adventure.

We have been with Naturetrek for the best part of 10yrs. All their work and focus goes on the 'wildlife experience'. Their guides have alway been excellent as have all the support staff, without which nothing would actually happen. An excellent organisation, where you can genuinely pick up the phone and speak to anyone. A rare event these days.

An 8 day stay in Andalucia at a lovely family run country hotel. Daily excursions to visit sites in the area mainly for plants but also some cultural and historical locations. Lovely lunches provided and evening meals at various restaurants. The tour leaders were both botanists but knowledgeable on a wide range of other subjects.

Naturetrek who we have used many times before although not recently due to the Covid problems. Everything was well organised and planned including our choice of a different airport from the main tour group.

This holiday in Western Andalucia, Spain, had it all - the main focus was botany and we saw some beautiful wild orchids, Narcissi and other flowers despite the warm, dry conditions. There was plenty of other wildlife to be enjoy too, from elegant Greater Flamingos to jewel-like Spanish Festoon butterflies. We stayed near the astonishing fortress-like medieval city of Ronda and were able to explore its many historic delights via the steep cobbled streets and cliff-top vantage points for which the town is justly famous. The holiday was an all-round feast of natural history and culture which will live long in the memory.

Naturetrek delivered the goods as always. A fantastic expert guide, friendly group of fellow travellers, accommodation at a delightful country hotel, well-planned excursions to beautiful and wildlife-rich habitats, delicious picnic lunches and evening meals at local restaurants.

Excellent birding, great guides, good accommodation and lovely weather

As always, Naturetrek delivers the goods exactly as it says on the tin

We went to 4 National Parks in the south of Nepal, mainly for bird watching, but also looked for, and found, mammals.

Naturetrek did a great job before the trip and were, as always, very easy to deal with. And once in Nepal, the ground agents were superb, especially when internal flights had to be rescheduled for weather related reasons

We stayed for 3 nights in the Sudarbans Jungle Camp in the Sundarbans National Park. We visited the local village and spent 2 days cruising between the islands. After a day in Kolkata we flew to Jorhat to join the Sukapha for a 10-day wildlife and cultural cruise on the Brahmaputra river. During our cruise we went on 4 jeep safaris in the Kaziranga National Park and visited several settlements along the river bank. From Guwahati we travelled by bus to stay for 3 nights in the Musa Jungle Retreat near the Manas National Park. The trip gave us a really good mix of nature and sightseeing. The three separate components were well balanced and complemented each other. Our main guide Sujan Chatterjee was really excellent and he was assisted by others who were also very knowledgeable about wildlife and/or the local culture. The whole experience on the Sukapha was brilliant. The accommodation was very good, the food superb and the crew could not be faulted (cheerful, polite, helpful, knowledgeable - I could go on). It is one of the best holidays we have had and well worth waiting for since 2020 (due to Covid!!).

We have been on a number of other Naturetrek holidays (to Myanmar, The Falklands, Portugal, the Pantanal) and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. The accommodation is usually very good and their wildlife guides are excellent. Their brochures gives clear information on what to expect from the holiday and their administration is well organized.

Moving around in a vehicle and catching up with tigers. It was excellent and full of interesting views of tigers and other animals.

Full of knowledge and able to deal with questions.
