Aurora, Orcas and Amazing Geology
A four night, two centre trip to Iceland in March to see the Aurora Borealis and Winter Wildlife. Both hotels were very good and we saw the Aurora on our second night. The boat trip was amazing we were surrounded by over forty Orcas and spent two hours observing their behaviour. Other wildlife highlights included six White-tailed Eagles and two Gyr Falcons.

The boat trip was amazing we were surrounded by over forty Orcas and spent two hours observing their behaviour. Other wildlife highlights included six White-tailed Eagles and two Gyr Falcons. The geology was fantastic, we were able to stand on the ridge between the Eurasian and North American plates and also visited Pingvellir National Park, Gullfoss and Geysir.

Naturetrek provide an excellent service, I have done several trips with them all of which have been very good. The office staff are excellent communicators and always reply very quickly to any queries.





Fantastic Whales & Birdlife in Baja California
An excellent two weeks on the MV Searcher in Baja California. We got very up close to the wildlife and saw more whales, dolphins, seals and birds than I imagined was possible. The boat was comfortable, the crew were great and the food was amazing.

No problem with Naturetrek, easy booking, good communication, great guides and good flights.





The Gambia in Style
It was a tremendous holiday. We were based at Mandina Lodge, which is extremely comfortable and well equipped. We were taken on daily excursions to see birds, by canoe, on foot and by bus, led by expert local guides as well as by Naturetrek's tour leader. It was altogether a fantastic experience

They arrange, suggest, and organise a large range of wildlife holidays. They provide expert leaders and very reliable backup. I always feel confident booking with them.





Amazing trip to Mexico was everything I’d hoped for and more
I’d always wanted to see the Monarch migration to the forests of Mexico and couldn’t believe my luck when I found a tour which not only took in the Monarchs but also Humpback Whales, one of my other passions. The whole trip fulfilled all my hopes and expectations in seeing not only the Monarchs and Humpbacks but also lots of other butterflies as well as birds.

Wildlife tour in Costa Rica
Spent two weeks visiting a variety of habitats in Costa Rica, with opprotunities to photograph over 120 bird species, and several mammals and reptiles. Accommodation was clean and comfortable, with tasty and healthy meals.

Everything went smoothly, despite multiple trips between locations. I never felt like I was left waiting for drivers, or uncertain that any part of the trip would happen as planned





An amazing nature holiday in Costa Rica
Naturetrek put together an amazing itinerary for our Costa Rica holiday - wonderful remote lodges, a great private guide who spotted so many birds, animals and reptiles for us, and we visited some very different places. Everything, including pick ups and transportation worked perfectly. It was such an adventure and I will have so many lovely memories to treasure.

The itinerary went through several changes and the suggestions and communications with Naturetrek were excellent. The final holiday was fantastic, everything was organised perfectly, and Naturetrek’s suggestions were great. It was a lot of money but I feel we got such a lot in our holiday that it was good value for money.
