Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Very good adventure with an excellent guide and some amazing wildlife experiences. The hotels and lodges were, as stated by Naturetrek, comfortable and well located with friendly staff everywhere. Costa Rica was beautiful, clean and friendly and surpassed my expectations. The roads were excellent.

Naturetrek gave us a full itinerary beforehand and this was fulfilled, there were some alterations in the length of the tour, it was extended by 2 days due to flight changes, but this was fully dealt with by Naturetrek and actually we believed it enhanced the tour.

nature everywhere constant nonstop excitment

top quality setup

We travelled from San Diego down the west coast of Baja California into the Sea of Cortez, visiting islands and seeing spectacular wildlife. We spent 2 days in Laguna San Ignacio where we were able to pet grey whales which came up to the boat. We were also able to swim with whale sharks in Bahia la Paz. This allowed me to achieve 2 life ambitions in one trip. There were many other fabulous sightings including 7 blue whales, sealions, seals, and a huge variety of birds. Although the cabins were tiny this did not detract too much from the trip as the crew was fantastic and the food fabulous. Our Naturetrek guide Tom and Searcher guide Rob had the most amazing knowledge between them of all the wildlife we saw.

Naturetrek specialises in wildlife trips. The boat they use for this trip is one of only 2 allowed to bring passengers into Laguna San Ignacio.

Three generations of my family (grandmother, daughter, granddaughter) enjoyed this tour very much. The animal/bird sightings, due to the expertise of our tour leaders and some members of our group, were enjoyable. The 2 beautiful locations chosen for viewing/scanning, sightseeing and other points of interest were very good. We loved the picnics on several days too.

Our 2 tour leaders were extremely knowledgeable, helpful in many ways sorting problems out when unexpected situations arose concerning members of our group. They were also fun to be with. I have traveled with Naturetrek before. Their tours have always well organised and interesting.

Well organised, great guide and good selection of accommodation

As always:: efficient, reliable, friendly and helpful.

Lots of great birds and pleasant company. Target species found. High Veldt and Kruger were both great fun.

Well organised. Guides well informed and pleasant.

Charter on the MV Searcher along the coast of Baja California viewing whales, porpoises and other marine mammals plus birds, snorkelling and more. Trip of a lifetime!

Naturetrek provided excellent service from pre-booking and booking, pre-departure and throughout the trip. Their office staff and trip leaders are excellent, knowledgeable, skilled and friendly.

It was a bird-watching trip to Costa Rica, it had a good itinerary and worked very well. Good accommodation, good guides, good birds - no real problems at all.

We have been on many Naturetrek tours and they have never let us down. They also looked after us very well during Covid where a number of trips had to be cancelled or moved forwards.

This was a day trip to Franchises Lodge where we saw a range of birds and benefited from the fact that our leader (Sam Levy) knew the site so well and was so enthusiastic about bird watching.

Quick and efficient, and they answer the phone in a reasonable time! Good range of holidays - we have been on several day trips now and enjoyed them all. Information before and after booking is comprehensive.

An amazing holiday in Gambia, with an excellent Naturetrek guide, Oliver Smart. Lovely accommodation at the Mandina River Lodges, and excellent local bird guides.
