Birdwatching, wildlife and photography in and around Northumberland

Northern Experience Wildlife Tours offer exclusive, guided, birdwatching, photography and wildlife tours, holidays and tuition, based in Northumberland, the North Pennines and the Scottish Borders.

As Northumberland's only fully licenced and insured wildlife and birdwatching guides we're committed to your safety and comfort as well as to getting you close to our stunning wildlife :-) We're committed to the environment that is home to our wildlife (and all of us as well!), so we encourage our clients to use public transport to travel to Northumberland whenever possible. We can provide advice about the most appropriate rail and bus stations for your visit, and offer a pick-up/drop-off service at the start and end of your Safari Day, Prestige Tour or Package Holiday with us. Let us do the driving as you relax and enjoy Northumberland's outstanding wildlife and landscapes.

There are a group of charities and organisations that we're really passionate about; British Divers Marine Life Rescue, MARINElife, Northumberland and Tyneside Bird Club, Northumberland Wildlife Trust and Red Squirrels Northern England. If you're booking a trip through our online shop, please consider choosing one of these to make a donation to, and we'll match your donation ourselves.

With spectacular wildlife including Black Grouse, Peregrine, Goshawk, Osprey, Roseate Tern, Grey Seal, Otter, Red Squirrel, Wild Goat, Roe Deer, Minke Whale and White-beaked Dolphin, Northumberland has something for everyone. Whether you are young or old, new to birdwatching and wildlife tours or already experienced, we will improve your chances of finding these beautiful creatures.

Observe Otters and Ospreys at Kielder, see Red Squirrels in southeast Northumberland or Seals around Lindisfarne, watch wildlife, whales and dolphins on a Northumberland Pelagic, improve your birdwatching skills, take a Prestige Tour (our exclusive wildlife tours for two), arrange a group visit with birdwatching and wildlife tours of Northumberland or purchase Gift Vouchers for wildlife tours to celebrate a special occasion; all expertly led by the friendly, enthusiastic wildlife guide described by North East Life magazine as ‘The Northeast’s number one wildlife detective and otter-poo expert’.
