Wildlife Dreams Photographic Hides & Tours

We were in Krootuse in May 2026. It was such a great and fantastic experience. The hide gives you an excellent view on the birds and other wildlife visitors. There is a kitchen which you can use, there are books to read and the possibility to photograph through the special glass windows are excellent. Phil can advice you about everything, he is very helpful. For us it was the best experience during our holiday trip to Estonia.

Visited Wildlife Dreams Birdhide in May – an amazing experience! The hide is state-of-the-art and definitely one of the best in all of Europe. The site consists of multiple hides, offering a wide range of opportunities and really maximizing the value of the visit. There was plenty of wildlife – birds of prey, woodpeckers, and many small birds. In addition to the birdlife, I also saw both a fox and a raccoon dog. The owner, Phil, is incredibly friendly and helpful, and it’s clear that the place is run with great passion. I can highly recommend a visit – I will definitely be coming back!

Paula and I spent three marvellous day in Phil's company. He was the ultimate host in the best wildlife hide we have visited. So many creature comforts and toasty warm despite being -25c outside!! The wildlife was amazing and we saw White tailed eagles and buzzards every day, many foxes, a racoon dog, woodpeckers and so many more birds. An amazing experience and don't forget to ask for one of Phil's legendary sausages sandwiches. Book to go you will not regret it.

thank you for a great experience .Phil & Elaine for your fantastic hides

Das Hide ist sehr komfortabel eingerichtet und verfügt außerdem über eine komplett ausgestattete Küche. Das Hide bietet viele verschiedene Winkel auf verschiedene Vogel- und Säugetierarten, was gute Bilder verspricht. Phil ist ein großartiger Gastgeber! Man merkt, dass er viel Arbeit und Liebe in das Hide steckt. Ich kann es wärmstens weiterempfehlen und werde bestimmt auch selbst wiederkommen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Wildlife Dreams in May and it was an unforgettable experience. The place is pure luxury, surrounded by stunning nature, and Phil’s hospitality takes it to the next level. You truly feel welcome from the very first moment. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to combine comfort with an incredible wildlife adventure!

One of the best hide-facility I have ever visited.

I spent four days at this amazing hide complex in Estonia that's run by wildlife dreams and Phil Gould. I spent the four days back in March of 2025 and had the most amazing wildlife photography experience, from photographing a wide variety of bird species to foxes and raccoon dogs, and a variety of woodpeckers, deer in the woods, Crains on the side of the road it was truly a wildlife experience I will not forget. Phil Gould was a fabulous host, and his hide complex is world class. This is definitely some what I will be going back to in the future and I cannot recommend Phil and his hide complex enough, if you're looking for a wild adventure in Estonia then get it booked you won't be disappointed.

I visited the hide complex towards the end of the breeding season in June 2025. Photographic opportunities were extraordinary and I was able to capture great in-flight and other shots of Marsh harriers and other raptors, lots of woodpeckers, including Grey-headed Woodpecker, and many small passerine bird. Without any doubt it's a state-of-the-art hide complex using the best glass technology available and it is very well equipped with everything needed for great hide photography. I will definitely come back to see another season.

I visited Wildlife Dreams Hide Development in Estonia in February 2025 as one of their very first visitors, and I was genuinely blown away. This is, without doubt, one of the best wildlife photography hide setups in Europe. Over the course of my stay, I had outstanding views of White-tailed Eagles, Goshawks, Buzzards, and a variety of smaller birds. I also enjoyed close encounters with foxes and was lucky enough to witness my first Racoon Dog, an unforgettable moment. The hides are exceptionally well designed: warm, quiet, and built with serious photographers in mind. Phil and Elaine are not only passionate and knowledgeable, but deeply committed to ethical wildlife photography. Estonia has huge potential as a photography destination, and Wildlife Dreams is leading the way. I look forward to working with them in the future. — Adam Masterton, Founder Nature’s Nomads
