The launch of Get Your Naturalist
Today we are launching Get Your Naturalist — a marketplace built on a simple idea: the best way to connect with the natural world is to go with someone who truly knows it.
We are working to make travel and experiences focused on wildlife more accessible to those looking to connect with nature. Not the commodity tour that herds a bus to a viewpoint, but a morning in the field with a naturalist who reads the habitat, the weather, and the behavior, and puts you where the animals actually are. Why we are building this Finding a genuinely good naturalist guide has always been hard. The great ones are booked by word of mouth; the rest hide behind stock photos and vague promises. Meanwhile the travelers who would most love a dawn full of tanagers, a pelagic full of shearwaters, or a night walk full of frogs never find them. We are here to close that gap. What you can do today Book a verified guide for a half-day, full-day, or multi-day private trip — birding, herping, marine life, mammals, and more. Join upcoming departures and small-group trips instead of planning everything yourself. Stay at eco-lodges where the habitat is the point and a resident naturalist comes with the room. Request a custom trip or an expedition cruise and let us build it around what you want to see.
Every guide is verified by working naturalists, every payment is protected until you travel, and every review comes from a real booking. That is the whole point. This is just the beginning We are launching with a growing roster across the Americas and beyond, and we are adding guides, destinations, and departures every week. If you guide, run a lodge, or operate tours, come list your expertise. If you are here to explore, find your naturalist.
Thanks for being here at the start. The wild is waiting — go with someone who knows what they are looking at.
