Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

Naturetrek holiday to the Swiss Alps to explore the area and experience the wildlife and particularly the wild flowers. Relaxing and stress free holiday in good company.

Naturetrek are a well established company specialising in botanical and natural history holidays.

We spent a wonderful week experiencing the wildlife of Slovenia. Based in a working farm near lake Cerknica, we were very well looked after. Shown around by two very helpful and experienced guides. Mountains, rivers, caves and flowery meadows with an abundance of wildlife. we could easily have stayed longer!

This is our third trip with Naturetrek and I wold definitely go on more.

Excellent variety of walking. Good hotel

Excellent

Brown bear watching in north east Finland, from hides set well in coniferous forest. Boating on a lake that seemed big as a sea at times, going close to the Russian border. Nature, bears and trees and a peacefulness hard to find anywhere.

I’ve travelled with Naturetrek many times around the world. Every time has been a great experience, never forgotten. I feel so well looked after and there is so much to do and experience every day. The food is always good too, as is the accommodation. Simply brilliant company.

I went for the wildflowers and I wasn't disappointed. Naturetrek knew exactly where to take me to see them. And everything else was good too - the hotel, food, scenery, weather, company.

Very professional. Our guide has been going there for 20years, he knew everything.

A wildlife holiday in France expertly lead by two very capable and personable tour leaders. Saw lots of interesting birds and dragonflies and enjoyed excellent home-cooked meals at our hotel. Nothing was too much trouble for our guides or our hosts at the hotel. When our tour bus broke down our leaders dealt with the problem quickly and professionally despite the intense heat wave. They were also more than happy to accommodate me when I requested additional moth trapping sessions which allowed me to see many species I otherwise wouldn't have had the chance to see.

Naturetrek were a pleasure to deal with. This is my 5th holiday with them and their staff are always helpful, efficient and pleasant. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are always knowledgeable when it comes to queries about travel arrangements, the destination or the wildlife. Their pre-departure information makes planning and choosing what to pack much easier. They will always be my first choice when it comes to wildlife holidays.

A week’s tour of various birding sites in Central and Northern Sweden. We enjoyed seeing species that are very hard to see without the benefit of a good guide - especially owls and the breeding birds of the uplands.

Have used Naturetrek on many occasions. They put together interesting itineraries and use very knowledgeable guides - including excellent local guides who really know their patch. Hotels are generally rustic but very comfortable and offering good, local food. All food and travel is included which means holiday can be more easily budgeted for in advance.

Our ship was operated in a professional manor by agreement of the captain, expedition leader and our tour operator leader. We managed to visit some extremes of ice but the ship was skilfully navigated to keep our schedule and passengers safe. We managed to see lots of wildlife by plenty of excursions

Naturetrek firm had researched the Polar Quest firm to deliver our specialised holiday. The expedition team were admirable, agile strong and knowledgeable

A three centre holiday looking at the flowers and other wildlife of three mountain ranges. The local guide was he top botanist in Bulgaria.

Naturetrek specialise in wildlife holidays in Europe and the rest of the world.

Our guide, David Tattersfield, is fantastic. We could ask for the plant names again and again and he never once let us know that we ought to remember them by now. Also, he never showed any irritation whatsoever even for the most silly questions like "will it rain today?". Admirable, really! Coming from Sweden and not knowing the English names of plants he kindly gave the scientific ones. He also very skillfully explained the differences between species so we learned a lot and were able to separate them.

The staff at Naturtrek were most helpful. We had to arrange our own trip to and from the meeting point but they were letting us know the times well ahead so we could plan properly.
