Naturetrek Dragonfly Tours

We like to respond to your specific wildlife interests and, in recent years, we have had an increasing number of requests for dedicated dragonfly holidays. We are pleased to be able to offer a selection of tours which focus on exploring habitats where some of Europe’s most diverse and spectacular dragonfly species are found.

All of our dragonfly tours are accompanied by at least one specialist leader. On some tours there may be a second leader with a different area of natural history expertise. Some highlights of our dragonfly holidays may include: observing clouds of damselflies as they emerge in late spring from pools, watching them hover over a lake or stretch of grassland, or witnessing a fight to the death between territorial males.

We’re equally comfortable providing opportunities for the dedicated enthusiast to debate the finer points of identification with our expert guide, or to simply enjoy their beautiful display of colours and forms.

Though we enjoy dragonflies on many of our holidays, here is a selection of our dedicated dragonfly-watching holidays:

• Bulgaria’s Dragonflies – we search for dragonflies and other wildlife in central and southern Bulgaria
• Dragonflies of La Brenne and Vienne – the wetlands and pools in these regions are home to a wide range of species
• Dragonflies & Birds of the Camargue – the Camargue is one of Europe’s premier dragonfly destinations
• Sardinia’s Dragonflies – Sardinia’s diverse range of dragonflies includes African species and other exotics
