Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Great day trip, Bob Eade was a great guide, considerate and informative. We had a lovely time and are much better informed as a result

Efficient confirmation of booking, clear itinerary and all ran on time.

A wildlife day and cruise on the river Dart

NatureTrek have the holidays we like

Eight days wildlife watching in Coto Donana and Extramadura. Locations stunning, birdlife top end and with Iberian Linx and Wild Boar plus numerous insects, flowers, butterflies and reptiles etc it was a very memorable experience, led by two knowledgable, personable and very focused guides. Just superb.

Communication excellent. Informative, easy to follow and delivered in a relaxed and professional way. All bases covered so at ease from the moment I booked the trip. Organised very well with clear itinerary which meant the maximum opportunity for wildlife watching and a number of elusive species encountered on the trip. Whole experience very enjoyable.

We were shown an astonishing number of birds by two outstanding guides in Simon and Marcus from Naturetrek . The two centred holiday included various contrasting habitats and every day provided exceptional bird watching opportunities.

The tour operator - Naturetrek - made the whole trip easy from very clear travel instructions, through information about the different species that we might see and even included a suggested packing list!

This was an accompanied 6 hour walk around the Cradle Valley within the South Downs National Park. The weather in the previous few days had been disappointing and our expectations were very low. However it was a bright and sunny day and we were a manageable group of seven plus our leader Bob Eade and a trainee guide Megan.Bob’s knowledge of butterflies, flora and general insects and wildlife was exceptional. Megan too had an enormous wealth of information concerning plants and insects and will be a great asset to Naturetrek in the future.. We had a picnic lunch in the sunshine and certainly gained a lot of information about butterflies and found an incredible number of species ( 14) and also some very special emperor moths lured by a pheromone lure. It was a wonderful day out and thanks goes to the leaders for making it so enjoyable.

Naturetre do many wildlife holidays but also day trips with various themes.

We went on a one-day naturetrek tour of Tor Bay (UK), half a day on a boat and half a day onland looking for wildlife. Both the boat's captian and our guide were extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife in the local area, and provided us with so much information, and even a cup of tea on the boat! During the afternoon walk our guide pointed out wildlife that we would never have known about or seen without his input. We were also extremely impressed with our guide's track record in conservation in the local area. The day was well-paced and the guide spent time chatting to all of us and answering our questions. I was a great day.

Booking with Naturetrek was easy, and we recieved detailed maps and joining instructions months before our trip. I twas easy to contact them if needed.

It was a whale watching trip but the weather wasn't very good. We did manage to see some whales but we saw a lot of other things too (inland) which I really liksd

Great, very good itinerary, excellent guide and very nice range of things.

There were six participants and a guide on our six night safari to the Kruger park. We stayed in three different camps getting a flavour of the various habitats through the south of the park. We had two safaris per day, the length of time determined by the sightings and destinations. Our guide was excellent and our tally for mammals sighted was34. Although billed as a mammal safari birds were not ignored and our bird tally was one hundred and seventy five. Highlights were seeing a pack of wild dogs; a leopard walking out in front of our vehicle and staying around us for nearly ten minutes, scent marking the roadside bushes, and rolling in the grass. A pride of lion causing quite a roadblock, but everything was viewed with a sense of wonder and plenty of time to soak up the bush atmosphere. A night drive taken with the park rangers (optional extra) gave us a view of the Milky Way whilst sitting and listening to the hippos and frogs at the water hole.

Naturetrek is a tour operator specializing in providing experiences of nature around the world. The pre departure information was very comprehensive, and any questions either by email or phone were dealt with promptly.

Naturetrek trip to Nagarhole Tiger Reserve, Karnataka, India. Our accommodation at Kabini River Lodge was superb, as were all the handling arrangements. We had amazing views of tigers and many other animals and birds on our twice daily jeep excursions in the Reserve. Our guide Kaustubh Muluy and driver looked after us with such care, making sure we enjoyed every minute of our holiday. Can`t wait to go back again.

Nature Trek `s main office, with particular wonderful help along every step of the way from Rajan Jolly, operations manager and India specialist couldn`t be bettered. We have faith in Naturetrek holidays.

We visited Punta Arenas in Southern Chile, explored the Torres del Paine National Park and made it to Porvenir on Tierra del Fuego, enjoying spectacular mountain and pampas scenery, having 15 sightings of Pumas, spotting countless amazing birds and visiting the northernmost colony of King Penguins. Our local guide was superlatively good, and in addition a lovely person to spend time with. Accommodation and food were excellent.

We had twice before travelled with Naturetrek so our expectations were high. We were not disappointed . The material sent in advance was extremely helpful, accurate and informative,. When we needed pre-travel documentary assistance, we got great support from the team at Naturetrek's UK base. The itinerary worked very well and gave us just what we were hoping for from this trip.
