Donana National Park And El Rocío: Private Tour From Seville

We had an excellent day with Ramun. He is a highly experienced guide with so much knowledge of the environment and history. We could not have asked for better. And the big bonus was we saw a Lynx and her 2 kittens which was truly amazing. Can highly recommend this trip. The company is very easy to deal with and super responsive - a very good operation.

I had a wonderful day with excellent driver and guide Ramon booked with Naturanda. The Land Cruiser was very comfortable and Ramon gave the group interesting and helpful commentary through out. I would highly recommend this varied and unique opportunity to see a great number of fascinating birds in spectacular and varied scenery.

We had a really great day. Our guide was knowledgeable and the 4x4 car comfortable. Saw lots of birds, particularly liked seeing the storks in their nests and the beeeaters. The town and church were glorious. Had a lovely walk across the dunes where we saw tracks of snakes and animals and the beautiful beach and Atlantic shoreline.

Good tour overall. Saw amazing wildlife. Guid was friendly and professional with good English skills. In terms of value for money, it was slightly expensive for what it was. Spending $850 for the day, I expected a little more white glove service.

Excellent tour today with our guide Alvaro Cortes, who gave us a fantastic overview of the Donana Nature Park, very helpful and friendly we would strongly recommend the tour and guide.

The tour was very relaxing and we got to see a beautiful national park as well as a unique rural town and a peaceful seafront. No Lynx in sight in the wild but we saw plenty of incredible birds (birds of prey, flamingos, spoonbills etc). Our guide Alvaro C. was lovely and put the whole group in a good mood throughout the day thanks to his jovial demeanour.

A very pleasant day with our terrific guide Jose...He gave us lots of information, gave us time to take photos of the birds, deer and of course the Lynx. We enjoyed the visit to El Rocio and the history Jose told us.

Amazing experience at Donana national park with Jose. Never met anyone so sharp, knowledgeable and nature loving. Imagine driving at 60 kmph with Jose, then suddenly stopping, driving backwards for a bit and hearing: "on your left there are 3 trees. On top right side of the middle tree there is very rare bird X". And while you try to find it with tour-provided macro binoculars, Jose already took 5 pictures of the bird with a camera bigger than an average spyglass. You don't only travel to the national park, you receive a full guide and a gallery of high quality photos of what you've seen that day. If the season is right.

Meh. It was mostly a drive to the pine forest (which we already saw on a hike south of Cadiz). Saw some deer, cows, storks (interesting), a flamingo, etc. Found the mobile sand dunes of some interest. Lunch was blah. Guide tried his best to make it interesting. Should have stayed in Sevilla.

Miguel was a wonderful guide, patient, informed and fun. I would highly recommend this tour and am delighted hecwas our guide. He obviously loves his job and the animals, flora and fauna.

Jose Zarapisco Ostos was an excellent guide: Very thoughtful of everybody's interests for the day, great sense of humor, very knowledgeable of the sites, and birder extraordinaire. He was also very aware of a variety of social and environmental problems affecting Doñana, which resulted in great conversations (I am an environmental scientist and biologist, and l was 'shot gun' in the car, which allowed me to ask a great number of questions on relevant topics about Doñana’s health). W would have greatly improved the tour? The only thing: having only Spanish speaking people in the tour. While not a problem while driving to locations, Jose had to translate in two languages at every stop during the walking tour, and that robbed us of valuable time that would have been best invested in visiting more sites (preferably more trails). Jose did his very best, and it was greatly appreciated. Yet, the day felt cut short. I look forward to another tour next year!

very well documented, seriously and spontan, and the best photograph, and especially lover of nature and animals, Thank you very much for that wanderfull day

Our family had a fantastic time on our trip to Donona national park. Our guide Inaki Martinez Noguera was amazing, attentive, experienced and knowledgeable. It was an unforgettable experience.

During my visit to Sevilla As a photographer,I wanted to take some sunset photos with flamingos in donana park combining with rio tinto I went to their office and talked to owner of company David . ı explained what I am expecting from this private tour with photos He said He had and experiences photographer who know the area very well and his photography skills are more than enough to guide me We also agreed on price as 225 € I extended my stay in Sevilla just for the sake of this tour Jose the guide picked me up in hotel and he said he knows the area very well But It was not true We turned around for hours to find to shoot rio tinto When I see his helplessness I searched on internet to find someone who may help us The guy I found was very helpfull on the phone and explained where to shoot rio tinto We climbed up and down the hill with my equipment but Jose couldn’t find the location As we are looking for the shooting spots around rio tinto We had bo time to go donana park and shoot sunset at all At the end of the day I had even one proper photo taken in rio tinto and donana national park at sunset So we returned back to Sevilla I wrote David about what happened all day And claimed what I paid for tour and hotel Unfortunately He didn’t respond Money can be replaced when lost But once honor is lost, it cannot be replaced David!!

Our guide gave not only a fascinating tour of the park, but explained its importance within the history of the area, we saw and heard a variety of birdlife and many deer and young, the botany af the area is stunning I wholly recommend this tour.

Fabulous day trip. Jose Zarapico was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and flexible. He changed things around to ensure we had the best experience.

My Husband Paul and I just wanted to thank Luismi for a fantastic full day trip. Luismi was an outstanding tour guide from start to finish: friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly, enthusiastic and passionate about wildlife! This trip was excellent value for money - we were lucky as there were only three guests and so we had Luismi's undivided attention! He pointed out points of interest all along the route; from historical facts to fascinating buildings. We enjoyed our time driving around the national park and admiring the stunning storks (they are worth the trip alone - we loved them and their huge nests!) We also saw fantastic flamingos, spoonbills, horses and cows! There was also a coffee stop and toilet break opportunity en-route and lots of photographic opportunities. We also went for a guided walk along the sand dunes and learned of their geographical importance. The beaches were stunning and Paul and I even had time for a paddle! There was time for lunch (Luismi was very kind and interpreted the menu for us) and the food was tasty and the staff friendly. We visited a wild-west-esque town with stunning architecture and a beautiful church which is well worth a visit. There were horse drawn carriages and nice little shops and cafes. As I say, the wildlife park was the best aspect of the trip - Luismi searched so hard to find some linx for us to see - on that day, they were shy, but we still got to see storks and flamingos, so we were very happy customers!

Great Tour. Sergio showed us the different environments in the Park and answered all our questions. We enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended!

Perfect day with Luismi, our guide. Starting early at 6:15 in Sevilla in a 4x4 taking us to the outskirts of Donana where we could see the impact that cultivation had on nature. After a good local breakfast along the route we got offtrack. Luismi explained in much detail what we could see passing through foods. We had a 2 km walk through an unlikely habitat that reminds of New Zealand. The tour ended at the beach where we spent a good hour at the sea. We were back in Sevilla after a day full of impressions. We can only recommend to add this experience after having visited Sevilla city.

The excursion went very well. It is done in a 4x4 through Doñana, so it is suitable for almost everyone. Sergio was our guide, he is a biologist and explains very well what you see. What I would have changed was the pickup (it is easier and faster if everyone is at the same point and not going around looking) also I think we left a little late and I would change the time of the excursion to earlier to be able to see more animals.

Magnificent service from Lucia and her team at the front desk. The room was impeccable. Also the service from Beatriz in room service. Thank you all very much. Rafael

It was a very entertaining excursion... we had the opportunity to see the southern area of Doñana National Park, it was incredible and highly recommended.

Wonderful visit to P.N. Doñana, northern area with Sergio as guide, was very pleasant, very didactic, we made stops to observe with telescope, we saw many birds, deer, horses, cows, rabbits and as a final icing, the lynx. One pass! Recommended 100%. Important to bring water, cap, mosquito repellent, sun cream, binoculars and food, because the visitor center is currently closed, although if you can use the bathrooms.

I made the reservation naturally, when I got there the girl told me that I had no reservation. Very poorly managed, I recommend making the reservation with Doñana directly.

Perfect. A great time spent with Sergio a great guide.

Ramon was a very good guide. He answered all our questions and gave us very interesting information about the national park. The mix between exploration and breaks was perfect. However, we would have liked to do more hikes. We did the excursion six people and the car was quite narrow, especially at the back. We couldn't understand all the information from the back seat.

Very nice excursion. It is 4 hours by the park of Doñana in a 4x4 bus. The guide explained everything very well. You see a lot of wildlife, like deer and gamos. You will reach the park to Sanlúcar de Barrameda and return to the beach to Matalascañas. To repeat.

following a so-called encoding error at their home, Naturanda cancelled the excursion the same day when we were already en route to the meeting place

A good experience the beautiful village of Rocio and the trip to Doñana was fine although we did not see the lynx but it was interesting

Great everything and the exceptional guide, very happy, good weather and perfect company, we loved everything and the very exciting dew

It was an unforgettable experience, we were lucky to have Juanra as our guide. He explained a lot of things to us in a simple way, and made us get into this wonder as is Doñana. To the guide we can only thank him for the patience and explanations he gave us throughout the tour. Thank you so much for making this excursion so enjoyable.

Wonderful day in nature with excellent guide José. Lovely not to experience the hustle and bustle of the city. José has given us a wonderful day. Also very attentive that we later got beautiful pictures made by him. Compliments again for José

We had a great day in the natural park of La Doñana. Our guide Jose shared his knowledge and passion for nature. Thanks to Maiden for the translations.

Booking and email communications were fast and efficient. They picked us up from the hotel to our guide Miguel was very kind and was very prepared. She even sang flamenco songs to us. Being a private tour, we could stop and stay as long as we wanted at the different stops, Miguel was very accommodating. El Rocio and Doñana Park are worth seeing. The only downside is that the van had a technical problem and made a lot of noise so from the third row you could not hear the explanations of the guide. Otherwise everything perfect.

Juanra is an amazing guide! Fully recommended! If you can, select this company and this guide, because it is unbeatable

The experience, it was amazing José a guide of ten, knows the area on foot together and is super attentive to the needs and does the impossible why have a good time and have unforgettable memories. I recommend 100%

The best of the guides José,lucky that will guide us on this super complete excursion detailing every corner and pamper every moment to teach us the nature , birds and animals of this park in 4x4, and end one of the best sunsets ,full day, we will repeat experiences again if it is with José.

It was an excellent experience. The guide Ramon was fantastic and explained everything about the park, trees, agriculture, wild and more. I only have one complaint, there were only a few binoculars so for five people it was difficult to find animals. There is also very little to see, the lack of animals is not a problem, but there were also few birds. So, I think it’s best to change the itinerary a bit to add more interesting things.

It's been an excursion of 10. A luxury to have as Guide to José, you can tell that he likes his work because of how he transmits his knowledge about the fauna and flora of Doñana. Thank you so much for this day. We wait for you in the Pyrenees

I loved the tour of Doñana! It is a beautiful place full of life where I have been able to learn information about nature on the go thanks to our guide José. I have really enjoyed the route and I 100% recommend this experience. Thank you :)

It has been a very nice experience visiting the park, especially because of Patri who guided us throughout the park and explained to us throughout the entire excursion. A ten !

Today I visited Doñana for the first time and thanks to Luismi it has been spectacular, he has passed on his enthusiasm for Nature which, together with his knowledge of the history of the park, has made us have a great day. Visiting El Rocio, eating in a great place, walking through the dunes, what more could you ask for. Thanks Luismi

I really liked the excursion with Patri, very attentive, very kind, very pretty. I recommend her with Patri, she is excellent and she takes good care of us.

It was really nice, for those of us who like flora and fauna, it was a really charming experience.

Great quiet day to cut through the bustle of Seville guided by José who gave us plenty of explanation about the different ecosystems and people that rub shoulders in Donana His passion for birds rubs off.

Great visit!! Very good explanations from the guide especially on fauna and flora as well as on the history of some monuments.

C'est une belle excursion, mais nous avons eu 2 déceptions : - Nous avions choisi cette excursion privée afin de pouvoir la personnaliser et de privilégier l'observation d'une espèce animale, les chevaux sauvages. L'excursion a suivi le programme classique sans détour pour observer ces animaux ; certes, nous avons vu des chevaux mais que des chevaux domestiques. - La sécheresse de ce mois de juillet rend difficile l'approche des animaux et surtout des oiseaux. Les animaux n'étant que peu visibles, nous avons observé des arbres et des plantes.

Immersive hike in the National Park together with Patricia, our guide, who with her knowledge of the fauna, flora and history of this place, enriched the experience and we could live a beautiful adventure. Even the unexpected stranding with the 4x4 was an opportunity to be able to see specimens of the fauna difficult to spot (including the famous lynx). The flexibility of the organization still allowed us to do everything we had planned: the ride on horseback, the visit to the wetlands (marismas) and the visit to the charming El Rocío. We did not miss an excellent lunch break with typical dishes of Andalusian cuisine. A family experience suitable for all ages, even if with a bit of effort but it was worth it.

Very good activity despite the high temperatures. Patricia, our guide, nice, attentive and super friendly. Highly recommended. It has the encouragement that you can probably see a specimen of Iberian lynx
