Wild Intrigue

A great way to spend some time in nature and what’s not to like about seeing red squirrels during the Breakfast with Squirrels experience?I’ve lived in, and visited, plenty of places that have red squirrels but I’ve never been lucky enough to see one before. I needn’t have worried as one was in a nearby tree when we arrived at the hide. During our time at the hide there was plenty of squirrel activity whilst we were having a delicious breakfast.

Myself and a friend enjoyed a morning at the wildlife hide, the hide was everything we expected and more. Very comfortable with excellent viewing. We had lots of birds and squirrels to photograph on natural perches, hope to return very soon.

Excellent experience. Great hide, well organised- have just booked a return visit

We did the Osprey Cruise and Bat Safari with Cain at Wild Intrigue, and both were amazing! Cain was really informative and able to answer all of our questions, and lent us binoculars and bat detectors!!! I would highly recommend this business for outdoor experiences!

We recently had my daughter's 8th birthday party at Wild Intrigue with Heather and Cain for a 'Bat's and Pizza' night. We had attended a family 'Bat's and Pizza' night in August 2022 and my daughter absolutely loved it and requested we do it again for her birthday in May.I contacted Heather to ask if this was something they could offer and she agreed. Heather bent over backwards to make sure she could accommodate us and from initial contact to the night itself there is absolutely nothing I could fault about the service we have received!Heather kept in regular contact with me and made the evening so special with lovely little touches and a special 'Bat's and Pizza' t-shirt as a gift for my daughter.Heather and Cain are so knowledgeable about the wildlife and plant life in the surrounding area so the kids (as well as the adults) learned so much! The actual bat safari was truly amazing with so many bats in the night sky to watch. Everyone loved tuning their bat detector to the right frequency and hearing the clicks and chatter of the bats above! Even my 2 year old nephew was thoroughly invested in pointing his tracker to the sky to find and hear the bats!I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful experience we had. Everyone called the next day to say how much they enjoyed the night.Heather and Cain are amazing at what they do and I would wholeheartedly recommend everyone to book on to a 'Bat's and Pizza' night to experience it for yourself.

I cannot speak highly enough about this excellent company. I have just done the wildlife safari and the bat safari at kielder waterside, both lead by Heather. She was an absolute delight. Very friendly and with a wealth of knowledge. I'm 54 and I learnt so much from her. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone and I wish Wild Intrigue nothing but success for the future.

Wild Intrigue are a great company. We have done lots of their events: moths, bats, frogs, birds and a couple twice. Always different and we have learned a huge amount. We are pensioners, but children enjoy the events as much as us. I would highly recommend Wild Intrigue: Heather and Cain are hugely knowledgeable, and deliver lots of interesting information in a very engaging way. Can’t wait for our trip to see Ospreys. Plus tasty brownies/flapjacks/pizzas!

We went on the quayside nature walk on 24th June and couldn’t have had a better experience.Cain is such a great guide, his knowledge and love for nature comes across so much and you can’t help but also feel enthusiastic about what you see on this nature walk.A tasty packed lunch is also provided which is an additional bonus – particularly when you’re not the one who has to carry it!Four hours may seem like a long time but it flies by and is necessary to experience everything that the walk has to offer. Amazing value for money due to the experience and knowledge of the guide, and the time and effort put into making sure we had an enjoyable time .Thanks again to Cain and Heather for such a great day.
