Natural Habitat Adventures

Fabulous, fabulous trip to the Galapagos. Every detail perfect. Guides exceptional. A trip we will never forget.

We had a wonderful trip to Belize with NatHab.  We stayed in gorgeous places and had the best guide anyone could hope to have. We would definitely go with NatHab again.  Everyone in our group of 10 had been on many trips with them.  This was our first, but definitely not our last.

We were very impressed at how NatHab ran the trip. All details were covered and everything went like clockwork. Our guide, Brad, was very knowledgeable and helpful to all. He made sure everyone was well taken care of and all needs were met. We would definitely recommend NatHab!

Both hotels we stayed in were great. I have some allergy restrictions and all of the food provided was outstanding and they took such great care of me. My expedition leader was fantastic. He was so passionate about his job, he was friendly and funny and always went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy and safe. The most important part, the trip itself, was everything I wanted it to be. Even though it was much warmer than it was suppose to be, between the 3 days on the rover, we saw 35 bears. We even saw 3 different kinds of fox and some snowy owls. It was quite the magical experience, especially for a Floridian. The lectures after each day were also very nice. The trip was organized and fun and I'd recommend it to everyone.

Actually we worked with East African Safari Ventures which was fantastic!

This is my 2nd or 3rd trip with NatHab and there will be many more. Professional staff, kind, knowledgeable and always there to please everyone on the trip. A great group.

I can't even begin to explain how amazing this trip was. Our guides were so knowledgeable, caring and fun. I loved the staff too! It's incredible that a basecamp was set up in such a remote area. Words can't describe the experience. All I can say is, "wow"!

Excellent. This was my eighth NatHab tour, and i have enjoyed them all. they carefully represent the physical level required, describe the food and accommodations accurately, all the while finding the best wildlife viewing opportunities.

Excellent! I felt very taken care of.

Amazing, above and beyond what we'd dreamed of or expected. Tour Guide Teresa Whipple, driver Lindsay and Rover driver Michael....excellent staff for NatHab. They all are people persons, and full of knowledge, caring and great fun.

The tour leader was conscientious, thorough, pleasant to deal with, and provided a great tour experience.

We were very pleased with Natural Habitat Adventures ( Nat Hab). We were met at the airport in Johannesburg. From that time on we were always met and ushered through each country's system. Our accommodations met or exceeded our expectations. The meals were very good. Our expedition leader Francis was very knowledgeable about both birds and animals. He could track wild life from the vehicle while driving along, and then go off road to find it. He was friendly and helpful. Our tour coordinator Olivia was wonderful. Her cheerfulness, helpfulness and kindness were greatly enjoyed. We saw lots of animals including everything we expected to see. It was great trip.

Natural Habitat does an amazing job taking clients into remote areas and educating them on conservation and nature. Their leaders are amazing.

Great guides, well paced itinerary, good value. Will do more with this company. Way exceeded my expectations.

For the most part everything went off without issue but we never heard from the company during our month long trip to see if things were going well. We travelled to 6 different countries and many flights and road transfers. Would have been nice to hear from the organizers of the trip.

Good expedition, deliveried on Polar Bears in their own habitat. Were able to experience and important event in a Polar Bear's lives- migation back to the pack ice.

This was a wonderful trip. All our guides and helpers were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We had a great time and learned many things too.

They had all aspects of our trip covers. Top notch guides great acommodations. We were well taken care of,

went on Town and Tundra adventure to see polar bears. cold came in early and all polar bears left before we got there so we wound up seeing 2 arctic hares and a red fox (which we have by our house). Wind chill was -50 each day. No heat in sleeping rooms in Tundra lodge, just some heat in the hallways. Have to go outside in -50 wind chill to get to lounge car and/or dining room, and to bathroom if you are in lounge car or dining. Only one of the 4 days did they use 2 rover vehicles where there were only 16 in each as advertised so everyone could have a window---maybe because there was nothing to see anyway. The night before we got a phone call from Nat Hab saying if we cancelled we would get a 50% credit on another trip. In retrospect we should have cancelled and eaten the other 50%. Not even a lecture on polar bears.Pre trip day in Winnipeg was excellent.. Charter plane flight better than expected.

Natural Habitat did an excellent job of organizing one month of African Safaris for us. Working with one operator proved to be the correct way to go and everything worked seamlessly. We travelled through 7 countries which translates to lots of connections and planning. The private conservancies were definitely the way to go to get the up close encounters with the animals. The conservancies use of local guides and giving back to the development of the local communities was great to see. The remote mobile Asilia Camps were well run and some of our favourites.

This tour included unforgettable close encounters with whale sharks and (unplanned) manta rays. In addition, NHA provided opportunities for me to witness many other forms of wildlife as well as unique geologic features. For someone who’s interested in natural history, this tour exceeded my expectations. I felt very fortunate that Fernando, one of the tour leaders, happened to be a birder. While only two in the group (including me) shared this interest, Fernando made a special effort to take me aside and point out a great many bird species, most of which I’d never seen. His expertise and consideration added greatly to my overall experience.

Fantastic guides, perfect accomodation, very attentive and pro.

I am always happy to travel with Natural Habitat. You pay a little more and it is so worth it!

Our guide, Zapa, was fabulous. We learned from him, we had a great time with him, and by the end, we all felt like family. Nat Hab made one mistake, but went out of their way to fix it, and in the end, it was a perfect trip.

This was a photography tour and we were fortunate to have several Natural Habitat guides join us. They were all excellent photographers and were very generous with their advice. I have taken several Natural Habitat trips but I like the photographer trips best.

We have travelled with Nat Hab several times now. If you want to travel to a place and get a good dose of culture and history, but a really in depth understanding of ecology and wildlife biology, as well as have optimum wildlife interactions and viewing, you cannot do better than Nat Hab. They are simply the best.

Love the format of this company’s trip. Small groups, very knowledgeable guides and customer focused.

My husband and I loved the NHA tour to Churchill to view the Polar Bears. Given that it was affiliated with WWF, we felt they had the best interest in preserving the sanctity of the polar bears' environment and knew just what to do to allow us to observe the animals yet not interfere. We loved taking a one week trip that felt so relaxing b/c we decided to completely unplug. Since we were so remote, in such a different environment, and because wifi and cell service is spotty, we completely disconnected. Best thing we ever did on a vacation. We will do that more often now, but it's natural up on the edge of the Arctic!

Phenomenal. This company employed local people. They spread the money across the town by using a different eating establishment each day. Local folk were on hand for talks about the area. Our leader went out of his way to make the northern experience an unforgettable one. Definitely more than 5 star!

Very well organized.

I have traveled with natural Habitat several times. I particularly enjoy the photography trips because the trip leaders are always very helpful.

Overall the trip was outstanding and amazing. Our guide, Richard de Gouevia, was nothing less than amazing in his guidance and photography knowledge. This trip was advertised as a photography gorilla trek and Richard did not disappoint. His knowledge of photography was mind boggling and he was not a afraid to share that knowledge with the group. He was a wonderful, unexpected asset on this trip. My only concern with this trip were the air arrangements. Information given to them was not added to the ticket. But a great trip!

Everything was perfect

Well organized. Great food. Interesting trips and events. Open bridge. Friendly staff. Experienced and knowlegable guides.

Natural Habitat did a good job of planning our trip although I thought the detailed itinerary could have been improved to eliminate some tedious time in the van. ON the other hand the staff, leaders, and other personnel were outstanding.

This is our fifth trip with NatHab. The destinations are great and the guides are superb! We love the small groups! And we especially feel comfortable traveling with them during these challenging times of Covid. They take excellent care of us.

Meredith Fontana and her colleagues were outstanding in all respects.

The experience with Nat Hab was excellent. Our guides, Jake and DJ were organized, informed and fun. The program was well thought out with adjustments made due to Covid: Accommodations, itinerary, dining were all terrific.

Accommodations and activities were all top notch in quality, amenities and service. Every day was different in multiple ways with surprises galore in landscape and animal sighting and tracking. The one big plus above all others was the quality of the local guides. We were amazed every day at their knowledge and enthusiasm of geology, botany, zoology, animal behavior, culture and overall commitment to delivering an incredible experience. Highly recommended.

Traveling with Nat Hab is wonderful. They take care of us, they make sure we are safe and they know just where to take us for the best sights

Really enjoy my trip with Nature habitat adventures. 2 tour guides are very knowledgeable about polar bear and the town of Churchill. The only suggestion I have for Nature Habitat Adventures is that they should have option for PCR test to meet certain tourist's need for traveling not just to US, but other international countries.

Our Africa trip with Nat/Hab was an amazing experience. Their guides were fantastic - Alex was smart, funny and knew everything there was to know about Africa. The accommodations were fantastic and the staff at every camp were fantastic. We will definitely travel with them again!

I have traveled with Natural Habitat twice and both times were terrific. Natural Habitat uses local people as travel guides and this makes a huge difference in both the experience and opportunity. I also value Natural Habitat's commitment to environmentally responsible travel. On my second trip, I traveled solo and was completely comfortable. I will travel through Natural Habitat again.

We had a great tour. The guide was exceptional and we had some great bear viewing.

Once in a lifetime trip. Not have took care of everything soup to nuts. You can’t say enough wonderful things about Churchill in the polar bears even though combinations would rather modest the food was good the companionship was wonderful and the knowledge of our team leader was great. Highly recommend it

I have done mulitple trips with Nat Hab and each one reinforces how much I love traveling with them. I know I can trust their decisions. My last trip was fantastic and they took care of all the details. We had a wonderful guide - Paul Kirui and drive, Sulai Iga, and they both made the trip a success.

(NOTE: This Nat Hab trip is rustic. If you hope to see Gray Whales from posh boats and fancy hotel rooms, you will be disappointed.) We signed up for Nat Hab’s Gray Whales trip to Baja California Sur (Mexican Baja Peninsula). Arriving 2 days ahead of the tour’s start gave us time to explore beautiful Loreto’s many sites. From Loreto, our Nat Hab Gray trip began with a bus ride to San Ignacio Lagoon bus where the Gray Whales mate and give birth in Feb/Mar., after migrating from the Arctic. Our expert leaders, Sofia & Andrea, guided us on twice daily panga rides to see the whales spy hopping, displaying flukes, flirtatious activities and some coming alongside our boats for rubs made each outing fun. We wanted to see whales and indeed, we did.

What a wonderful experience I had with NatHab! It was a first class trip to see the Northern Lights and engage in other activities in northern Canada. They were well organized, their guide was excellent and spared no cost in making it a well rounded, fabulous and memorable trip. I would highly recommend NatHab.

What a phenomenal trip. Our experience exceeded our expectations. Hollie was well organized, knowledgeable, while managing our group. Our fellow travelers seemed as pleased as we were. We can’t wait until our next trip we have booked with you. Corrin you nailed it - thank you.

Highly recommend the Nat Hab adventure trip in the Galapagos. our guides, the food, the boat, the hotel - all perfect!

A wonderful experience…hiking in the Cotswolds and enjoying the gardens. Idyllic in very sense of the word. We put in approximately 35 miles hiking in and around the villages…through rolling pastures and farmlands. The hotels, manors and inns were beautiful…the local pubs hospitable. All in all, A++.

This was my 5th trip with Nat Hab and they continue to be one of the best tour groups. I can always trust that I am safe and that I will have the best possible experience.

Despite everyone supposedly testing negative at the start of the trip, by the end at least half were Covid positive. They had us all eat at one table, elbow to elbow instead of spreading us into smaller groups. We lost one leader to Covid midway which made for a lot of issues. There was no itinerary given, we had to ask multiple times a day what was happening next. Poor lunch meat sandwich given each day and dinner many nights not healthy when hotel offered better but not offered that. We did our own thing one night when offered cheese and crackers for dinner. Hikes not fully described ahead and were really beyond the ability of the mature group. Many just stopped attending hikes. Leaders assigned rooms with balconies while guests had hot top floor room with no a/c and little air movement. Not what we paid for or expected. Second time with this company but never again.

My wife and I were looking for a vacation that provided us an opportunity to travel to see new landscapes and wildlife and were introduced to Natural Habitat Adventures by our travel planner. We immediately knew we found our tour operator after reviewing their materials. Their concern for not only providing excellent experiences in exotic locations, but ensuring they did so with the utmost concern with making the least environmental impact was a major factor for us choosing NHB. The people involved at all stages of our adventure were welcoming and professional and our guide was simply phenomenal. We are confident that we have met new lifelong friends from our most recent trip and we look forward to future adventures with them and Natural Habitat Adventures!

Natural Habitat did our travel insurance and flights. They recommended we arrive a day early, which helped. We were met at the airport on arrival and taken to our hotel. We were accompanied the whole trip up to our gate at the airport on return. The pre trip information was very helpful. Our Expedition Leader was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our local driver/guides were very knowledgeable about where to find the game. We saw lots of animals, some up close. We got good views of two Cheetah families. We got to see a Leopard eating on a spotted hyena. Overall it was a great trip.

I loved this trip! NatHab has a very well run operation, and really knows what they are doing in Iceland. We had an excellent expedition leader and wonderful local guide/bus driver who added so much to the experience with her stories of a lifetime in Iceland. We visited many locations that most travellers to Iceland do not experience, and that was very special.

This was my 6th Nat Hab trip and I continue to find traveling with them a wonderful experience. They are trust worthy, the guides are extremely knowledgable, they have small group sizes and the best accomodations. Mostly, their trips are full of advernture.

having now done eight trips with this company, I can't recommend this company enough for travelers who want trips a bit off the beaten path. From the moment that one is picked up by a Nat Hab person to the end of the trip, everything is taken care of so one can focus on the trip at hand. Nat Hab gets one to places that are not always easy to get to and allows one to revel in nature, conservation and love of animals!! Groups are small and manageable. Guides are SUPERB!!

I have traveled with Nat Hab on 5 trips. I continue to join them because of their small group policy, the areas they visit and the quality of their guides. My travel interests center around immersion into the regional wildlife. Nat Hab satisfies my interests by leaving the tourist trap areas behind and visiting the less travelled areas. I highly recommend Nat Hab.

We have traveled with Nat Hab 4 times, and have more trips scheduled going forward. They are a perfect tour company for us, sharing our values and priorities in travel experiences, and handling every aspect of trip planning and execution perfectly. Their office support is flawless, their guides are the best in the business. The itineraries are great, exposing us to things we didn't even know we wanted to see, and all of this is handled from the first flight to the last in a manner that makes us as older women feel safe and confident. I have recently traveled with another large travel provider, and was dismayed at the disorganization of the trip, leading to multiple difficulties for me to have to chase down. It is clear that Nat Hab has weathered the travel industry challenges well, their service is exactly has it has always been. They are and will continue to be my go to travel operator for many years to come.

We are in the process of booking our 3rd trip. Need I say more?

They were great. We had a wonderful guide who was entertaining and extremely knowledgeable. The whole experience was great. Nathab is very well organized and covers almost every detail. I would love to do another trip with them.

Fantastic!! Great guide, great logistics and support!! Unique adventure!!

I just returned from my tenth trip with this company and cannot recommend any other company more for wildlife and conservation trips. From the moment one signs up, Nat Hab works to be certain that the trip will exceed one's expectations. Everything is taken care of, and you just don't have to think about anything while traveling with them. This is also a company that lives up to its mission of conservation and education!! Best way in the world to see animals and get a sense of the local culture!!

THis was my 7th trip with Nat Hab. I love traveling with them. Their expedition leaders are always the best, knowledgable, competent, and usually great photographers. I always feel safe as I know they take all precautions. They also have the best trips, expecially for wildlife viewing.

It was a phenomenal all-female tour of the wintering grounds of the Monarach Butterfly in the Mexico highlands. The NatHab staff was outstanding in every respect and the hotels and food were very nice.

Very well done. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating.

Fabulous job! They took great care of us. They went out of there way to be helpful and help us have a great experience.

Nat Hab works with locals, hires guides and facilitators with local knowledge and connections, and sees to every detail. Their commitment to conservation is an added pus.

Fantastic views and guides.

This was a wonderful trip. Everything was well thought out and organized to make it an amazing experience in a hostile environment. All the guides and other personnel are great. The week we went, luckily the lights cooperated and gave us a wonderful show, but there were also fun and interesting experiences, including a ride on a dog sled. The "musher" was a fascinating and passionate indigenous person who lobbies for indigenous rights.

Our 10th trip with NatHab, and as always, we enjoyed it very much! Peter, our guide, was fantastic! He orchestrated the activities and events very well! My only issue was the number in the group. It would’ve been a little easier on the bus if everyone had a row of seats to themselves. Wearing bulky clothes and carrying lots of gear made the seats for some pretty crowded.

Wonderful, I can’t say enough good things about my travels with Natural Habitat. They see to every detail from planning, arrival at airport, meals, hotels, transportation. They know the area you are traveling in and the best place and time to maximize your experience. Making sure you have the best chance to see everything.

Natural Habitat has great guides. They really know their birds, animals and vegetation. We went on a number of hikes. The accommodations were good, and the food was excellent. It was also nice being on a trip with only 8 people.

Natural Habitat Adventures exceeded our expectations! Everything from the booking process, the Concierge Service, Trip Leader, to the local support Staff in Winnipeg and Churchill were excellent! Having traveled to all the inhabitable continents, initially we thought it was a bit pricier than what we had expected for a 7-10 day trip, but after what we experienced, it was a great value.

Top drawer all the way. The guides were exceptional.

Cape Town was fun. I felt safe and I was anxious before I went about the S African part of the trip. My guide was excellent. Also we had such excellent conversations, initiated by me about Apartheid. It was a great history lesson for me with no drama and very intellectual discussions. Salume (?spelling) was great. The wine tours were an excellent addition and our hiking Highly recommend this extension

My husband and I decided that we wanted to have a 50th anniversary celebration going some place special and have the family go along with us. Nat Hab gave us the perfect place to do just that. I can not say enough good things about them all. The guides Jim, Jenn, Rylee and Justin. We’re all so knowledgeable about all the places we saw. We did have to get up early two mornings. Be in the vans by 5:30am. But it was so worth it to get up so early. We were rewarded by getting an early start with seeing wolves, grizzly bears, elk and so many more animals. We spent 4th of July in coats, plus it was our Son’s birthday and we all celebrated with fireworks and cupcakes. The food and meals and picnics plus our 50th celebration were taken care of by Sara and Hanna. What treats each meal were and the picnics were fabulous. Our 50th anniversary celebration out did it all. Thank you so much for making this event so special for all of us.

My 10th trip with Nat Hab. Always a great experience

Very happy with the trip would absolutely recommend Natural Habitat Adventures to others.

This was our 11th trip with NatHab and we haven’t been disappointed yet! The itinerary was good, the guide was great, and overall the trip was one of our best!

The tour was fantastic and the guides could not have been better

WELL ORGANIZED, HIGH QUALITY, EXCELLENT STAFF AND CREW

This is my second trip with NatHab. Both have been extraordinary. They have been exciting, well organized and well staffed. Three factors make NatHab trips so memorable: - Their staff are exceedingly well trained, and they care deeply about their guests. - They have an amazing infrastructure established. This includes places to stay, relationships in the local areas, a network of people who know all the unique parts of the locations being experienced, food, sources, internal transportation… - They have the best itineraries of any adventure groups. I look forward to the trip. I’ve already scheduled for next summer. Thank you, NatHab.

Fantastic. Until the Galapagos my best trip ever was nearly a month in New Zealand (both islands). The Galapagos trip just moved to #1.

An excellent company to travel with

Nat Hab was an excellent company. We had a great polar bear adventure - everything was well organized - it all went without a hitch. Our tour guides were amazing - very knowledgeable and friendly - easy to talk to. Thanks.

NatHab is an excellent operation in every aspect.

I enjoyed traveling with NatHab. They are attentive to every details and follow through with questions. I liked their contribution to the local community and the mutual respect shown. Our guide was great, well versed and fun. It was a good choice to travel with them.

NatHab is simply amazing. One of the BEST tours we have ever been on. Our guide was incredible - knowledgeable, personable, funny - you name it. Can't wait to book another adventure with this company!

We did a 10 day Tanzania safari with Natural Habitat Adventures. The tour group could have gone up to 12 but there were just 5 in our group, one group per camp. The tour guide was top notch and very knowledgable in all respects, able to go in deep not only on what the animals were doing but why, and able to talk about the plants, landscape, and culture in addition to animals. I believe NatHab prides themselves on having knowledgable guides that can provide education vs. just steer you to the animals. If you just want to be driven around there are cheaper options. The camps were impressive for being in the middle of the bush. Plumbing, electricity, internet, comfortable beds, large size. The tents were high-quality (especially important for keeping bugs out). The food was amazing, although pretty generic dishes like pork chops steak etc. Everything seemed very well operated. We were never sitting around waiting for cars or paperwork.

This was my 11th trip with Nat Hab. They make each trip an adventure never to be forgotten. This trip to the Amazon was no exception. Great expedition leaders. Great guests. Great accomodations. Great food. Great viewing of wildlife. What more can one ask for!

This is my 2nd trip with NatHab and it was great. They provide tour guides that are very knowledgeable. We were provided with everything to make us comfortable and warm. We met local people and were able to visit many local places. We were able to also ride on a dog sled. The owner of the dog sled business had great stories and has led a very interesting life. The driver, the group, Anthony, and everyone we interacted with was great. We were fortunate to have all 4 nights with beautiful Northern Lights.

Wow, they were great. I initially thought they were pricey, but they had you covered 24/7 once you started your adventure. All the excursions and meals were covered. The staff took into consideration their clients needs and wants..I have been on many tours and cruises, etc and this was the best tour company by far. I will use them again.

They took care of us from the time we landed in our first city. Met us in the airport and handled everything until we were on the plane leaving. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the sights and the local people This was a photo tour and he had excellent knowledge of all cameras that people brought on the trip. He was also fun. He supported every person on the tour. Also, the booklet that Nat Hob sent prior to the trip was invaluable in helping us prepare ourselves and our clothes necessary for a successful trip. It was outstanding.

Hat Hab seems very well run. All directors were capable. Grew members knew their jobs and always friendly to guests and each other. A well run ship in my opinion. I loved the food as I am enjoy sea food. "Jimmy" was a high energy trip director and great. Louis was always attentive.

Beautiful country explored with 2 fantastic and knowledgeable guides, Bronka and Monika! Made trip very personable. Always willing to meet our unexpected needs. Wish I could use them on every trip!

I just returned from my twelfth trip with this company. Although I have tried other companies, I always return to Natural Habitat. Each trip is meticulously planned, and every detail is carefully attended to. From the moment you meet the company representatives, rest assured that everything will be taken care of. I also appreciate that they pay particular attention to conservation. Cannot recommend any other company higher!!

This was my 13th trip with Nat Hab. Love traveling with them. They are organzied, efficient, make me feel safe and are trying to save the earth.

I have done many trips with Nat Hab. They are great in making the single traveler feel safe on their trips

Nat Hab is great. Our second trip with them and plan to do more.

Did a great job. I would suggest that they make every attempt to arrange for better accommodations at the Grand Canyon. The rooms were barely passable and that’s being generous

This was a great trip! I am looking forward to booking future Nat Hab trips.

They are the best wonderful food, tours, education etc. this is my second trip with them.

Seems the best organized and equipped in Churchill

Awesome trip! Just do it!!! If you've ever wanted to see polar bears, do it with Nat Hab.

We have done two trips with NatHab and both times they knocked it out of the park. They preach and practice sustainability while exploring wildlife. The accommodations were somewhat Spartan, but the food was excellent. This is the price you pay to stay in the "wild" next to the wildlife you are there to see. The expedition leaders on this trip (Marlo and Sabina) did an outstanding job making sure we had the best chances of seeing polar bears. And we did! We saw numerous bears including sparring, mother and cub, investigating our lodge and starting out on the ice. They were quick to point out other arctic wildlife and made our trip a great memory. We are making the deposit on our next NatHab trip.

This was our first and not last natural habitat trip. While expensive, the value received justified the higher cost.

I love traveling wtih Nat Hab. The trip was just as expected - fabulous expediation leaders, great food, I felt safe, and the Monarchs were out of this world

Nat Hab gets it done. Had a great time on our wildlife adventure and saw so many animals. Our trip leader was a delight and local guides added so much to the trip
