Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Naturetrek organised an itinerary for me for 2 months exploring Peru and Ecuador, including the Galapagos Islands. The trip was partly me joining an existing tour in Peru, and partly tailor-made on mainland Ecuador, plus a fortnight on a small cruise ship in the Galapagos Archipelago.

Naturetrek did a great job putting together a brilliant and varied itinerary in Peru and Ecuador, sampling the Amazonian rainforest, the Andean cloud-forest, Cusco + Macchu Piccu, and other Inca sites, plus in Ecuador the city of Cuenca, the vulcanoes Cotopaxi and Chimborazo, and the Galapagos Archipelago.

We were acompanied by two very helpful and knowledgeable guides who helped us get the maximum value for our wildlife holiday

I have been on about 10 holidays with Naturetrek over the last 20 years and they have never failed to deliveran excellent experience.

The holiday was guided by 2 very knowledgeable guides whose enthusiasm made the tour fun and enjoyable. Their knowledge and attention to detail enabled us to see some fantastic bird species and the accommodation provided on the tour was excellent. Picnic lunches were also provided every day so all we had to worry about was to relax and enjoy the bird life. A fantastic relaxing 7 days where all your needs are catered for. Having lost my father this year and losing my enthusiasm for birding , this holiday and in particular the guides enthusiasm has re-lit my enjoyment of my love for birds.

This was our 3rd holiday with Naturetrek and there service and support has been faultless, no problem has been to great and they have dealt with any queries we have had promptly and efficiently. I would definitely travel with Naturetrek again, the most enjoyable holidays that I have experienced

We stayed at Pouso Alegre, SouthWild Flotel, and SouthWild Pantonal Lodge. All were good, food was excellent with plenty of choice. The star sighting was a very accommodating mother jaguar and cub - but we had very good sightings of different jaguars each day on the river, and an exciting interaction on the last afternoon between a jaguar and a tapir. The trip to see Maned wolves was also successful and worthwhile. We had excellent views of an Ocelot at SouthWild Pantonal Lodge on both evenings there. We also saw a giant anteater by spotlight. at Pouso Alegre. The birdlife was prolific at each of these venues., including Hyacinth Macaw and Jabiru Stork. We also had excellent views of other wildlife - Giant River Otters, Giant Anteater, Capybara, Tapir, Yacare Caiman and various kinds of monkey, foxes, deer and tortoise.

Naturetrek is a long-established and reliable tour operator specialising in wildlife holidays. I have travelled with Naturetrek twice previously before this trip and have always found them to be a reliable company.

This was a fabulous holiday arranged by Naturetrek. We saw just about all the wildlife we were hoping for and it was really well organised.

Naturetrek always organise everything rely well. I often travel alone and know I can trust them.

A wonderful trip in the Pyrenees with superb wildlife and guiding..often to ourselves. Great food incl freshly prepared picnic lunch every day. A few quite demanding walks/ hikes but always worth it

Naturetrek have the best guides who are passionate about nature, but also understand how to manage a group.

In September we went on a two centre holiday with Naturetrek as part of a small group plus guides, visiting mountain regions in Calabria and Somiedo Natural Park in Spain. Thrilled to see Iberian wolves, chamois and other wildlife, all from a respectful distance with experienced local guides. Great food and accommodation too. Plus transport by ferry and road, so hopefully a bit better for the carbon footprint than flying.

Naturetrek's staff were great, both overall organisation and guides throughout.

I spent 5 days with Naturetrek on the Ardnamuchan peninsula in Scotland. The main focus were the red deer, but we were also on the look out for Pine Martin, Otter, Golden Eagle, White tailed Eagle, dipper and much much more. Steve and Paul who were our leaders were excellent with their knowledge of the local Flora and Fauna as well as being great fun and professional. We spotted all of the above listed, with a White tailed Eagle flying directly over our heads and a pine martin only 3 inches away from us being the definite highlights of the trip

Naturetrek were excellent from the moment I booked the holiday. All the information on my trip was sent to me almost instantly and when I did have a question to ask, it was answered straight away. The info they sent me was comprehensive but easy to understand.

I spent some time staying in lodges in the amazon rainforest, including boat journeys searching for wildlife which i thoroughly enjoyed, followed by couple of days in Cuzco before tackling the Inca trail. Macchu Picu was a fantastic experience.

The service and guides provided by Naturetrek are outstanding. They put together fantastic itineraries and the accommodation is always excellent.

We had a fantastic time spotting white tailed eagles, golden eagles, otters, pine martens and plenty of red deer. It was enjoyable, informative and memorable.

Exceedingly helpful and organised. I would definitely book with them again.
