Wildlife Holidays by Train
Travel by train to your next Naturetrek holiday
We are delighted to have partnered with Byway, a B Corp and leading flight-free travel planner, to offer a low-carbon alternative to flying for Naturetrek tours across Europe. Using first-of-its-kind routing technology, Byway builds trips by land and sea, all designed with enjoyment in mind. This exciting partnership allows us to offer Naturetrek clients the option to travel easily to and from their Naturetrek holiday by train, with overnight accommodation (typically in a beautiful town or city en route!) included as part of the travel package.
Travelling by train not only reduces the carbon cost of travel by up to 90% versus flying, but also allows you to choose enjoyment over speed and to see and experience more as part of the journey to and from your Naturetrek holiday.
- Suggested journeys are available to view for our tours by visiting Byway's website. These are very much suggestions... each journey can be adjusted to your preferences and requirements!
- On-demand support via WhatsApp is provided throughout your journey
- All transport and accommodation is included. Please note that at least one night of accommodation will always be included as part of the package.
- Byway will ensure that you arrive at the starting city/town the night before the Naturetrek tour begins (accommodation will be included with your Byway journey for that night). You will then simply need to arrive at the starting point for the Naturetrek tour by the appointed time the following day.
- Please do not book your Byway journey until we have confirmed that your Naturetrek tour is a confirmed departure and provided you with meeting/departure timings. You can, of course, get a quote from Byway in the meantime.
- Byway can provide one-way or return options. For most tours, we can offer a one-way flight if you choose to travel with Byway on just the outbound or just the return journey. Please do speak to the Naturetrek team to discuss options when you book your tour.
- If your Naturetrek tour isn't currently listed, it doesn't mean that it isn't possible to reach it by train! Please still contact Byway for more information and a quote.

Our Sustainable Travel Specialist Recommends
"I'd recommend travelling to 'The Italian and French Alps' by train; just one change in Paris and you can be in Turin that same evening! Our 'Extremadura - a Vegetarian/Vegan tour' tour can be reached by taking the train to Madrid, stopping off overnight to explore Paris or Barcelona along the way. Our botanical tours in Switzerland such as 'Wengen - Alpine Flowers of the Swiss Alps' already make wonderful use of the mountain railways, so travelling by train, using the high speed TGV from Paris to Geneva or Zurich, is the perfect way to start your holiday!"
