Birds and Insects in Eastern Poland
This was a natural history trip to Eastern Poland in the spring (May 2019), with a principal focus on birds, and a subsidiary focus (my own area of interest) on insects. The group visited the Bialowieza area (including the strict reserve in the Bialowieza Forest), and various sites in the Biebrza Marshes north and east of Bialystok.

Arrangements were excellent and efficient (flights, ground transport in Poland, and accommodation). Leadership of the tour was first-rate, involving knowledgeable guides.





Excellent week of nature spotting with lovely companions
A fantastic trip with many stand-out moments - including listening to Nightjars, spotting a Hoopoe, and our first experience e of moth traps. Our fantastic guide made everything interesting and enthusiastically catered for all interests, as well as being very thoughtful in all arrangements made.

All pre departure contact was excellent - very helpful office staff.





Immersion in another world
The star of this cruise is the mighty river Brahmaputra ... the people living along, on and with the river, their culture, the wildlife ... and all the sensations we passed through.

Very nice, very competent and dedicated tour guide and assistants who like people, who like sharing ideas and experiences, who are very positive and show a fine sense of humour. And a great ship crew.





First Naturetrek holiday and an excellent one
Spring birding in Northern Greece. Excellent local guides and a well planned itinerary which enabled us to see some special things.

Naturetrek had a clear website and the holiday information there and subsequently sent to us was timely and comprehensive. Without any fuss they also arranged later flights for us so that we could spend more time in country and offered recommendations on suitable hotels.





Wild Flower Delight
Excellent tour leaders enabling good opportunities to enjoy wild flowers, small birds and fantastic lunches.

An outstanding birding and wildlife experience in Extremadura and the Gredos Mountains, Spain
Fantastic, contrasting locations, great hotels and two amazingly knowledgeable and observant guides, who did their utmost to give us a great birding, wildlife and wildflower experience. They took us to places one would never imagine was possible and were obviously very familiar with the areas and knew what would likely be seen. They looked after us really well. It was great travelling with like minded people with common interests. Although ...

A great company to travel with us if one is a solo traveller. Helpful and reassuring service from Naturetrek office. Knowledgeable, observant and hard working guides





Well organised and fun trip
The holiday was a stay-put on the Azores island of Pico - with a number of whale watch trips, combined with an island tour to see the distinct lava landscapes. The trip was well organised and very flexible, especially when the weather didn’t play ball. The tour leader was great and I had an excellent trip.

Very informative from start to finish. The holiday was well organised, with good alternatives in place for inclement weather.





Rare orchids and Greek cuisine
A week searching for rare orchids and other plants with excellent British guides. Picnic lunches prepared by our guides and evening meals at good Greek restaurants. Birds, insects and amphibians also studied.

A specialist natural history operator visiting the right places at the right time in order to see and study ones interest and improve ones knowledge of the subject. This was my sixth holiday with Naturetrek having travelled as for afield as India, Brazilian Pantanal and European countries.
