Sweden's bears
This holiday was based in a Wilderness lodge in Sweden. The accommodation was basic but comfortable. The location was by beautiful lake with opportunities for swimming and kayaking. All meals were freshly prepared by the hosts and were included in the price. 1 Night was spent in a purpose built bear hide. Although it was unseasonably hot, the hide was comfortable. A bear siting was not guaranteed but we were lucky to see one in the dusk.It ...

The tour operator responded to all my queries in a timely way and enabled me to adapt the holiday to suit my needs. it was good to speak to someone who had been on the holiday.

Wonderful time in the camargue, France
The holidays was very well organised and the trip leaders really looked after us well. The leaders were very knowledgable and knew the area very well. Pre holidays service was excellent - very good customer service.

Good Wildlife Watching in Finland
A combination of day walks & night watching for Wolverine from a forest hide. Good company in a small group of 6 with an English leader. We saw Wolverine on both nights & a rare Hawk Owl (the same one?) also both nights. Weather unseasonally hot & sunny. Finnair flights LHR to Helsinki excellent plus the onward Flybe connecting flights to & from the east. A downside on this trip was that neither local guide spoke any English & we had a strange ...
A combination of day walks & night watching for Wolverine from a forest hide. Good company in a small group of 6 with an English leader. We saw Wolverine on both nights & a rare Hawk Owl (the same one?) also both nights. Weather unseasonally hot & sunny. Finnair flights LHR to Helsinki excellent plus the onward Flybe connecting flights to & from the east. A downside on this trip was that neither local guide spoke any English & we had a strange lunchtime trip to see very nocturnal Flying Squirrels (we didn't!). Horse flies were a nuisance. However on balance this was an enjoyable short break to see interesting wildlife in northern Europe.
Naturetrek is one of the leading wildlife tour operators in the UK & has been in existence for 20+ years. It provides a comprehensive programme of expertly guided tours to all continents & it caters for most interests (not solely birds). Based in Hampshire, its programme expands all the time.
Naturetrek responded to this review on 18 Jul 2014:
We were delighted to learn that our very first ‘Finland – on the Trail of the Wolverine’ tour had such great views of its main quarry. However we were concerned to read that the local guide’s English was poor and will ensure that new guides are brought in for future departures. We expect all of our local guides to speak good English and we are currently looking into the matter and appreciate the issue being brought to our attension. Although the Flying Squirrel excursion was not part of the Naturetrek programme and paid for locally, we will arrange for a full refund of the cost of this unsuccessful trip to be sent to all group members early next week. Thank you once again for your feedback.

An incredible experience viewing wolverines in the Finnish forests.
Two nights spent in the viewing hide gave us excellent views of wolverines in their natural habitat. Had 11 sightings of probably 5 different wolverines, some from only 1.5 metres. A hawk owl was also present on both nights as a bonus.

Honest regarding the limitations of such a trip in the wild forest. Excellent leader with great knowledge and personality. Top quality information throughout.

It was truly amazing to be watching Polar Bears and Walrus. Animals I had only seen in books and now they were walking/swimming right in front of me.

They were very helpful and informative. Did not have to worry about anything either before or during the trip. Would certainly go with them again and recommend to friends.
