Sea kayaking in Scotland
Inspite of quite challenging weather conditions our guides gave us the best experience we could safely enjoy. It was very professional and I felt well looked after. The food was especially good and a highlight of the trip as we all looked forward to our evening meal together in our group tipee.

I felt very safe and everything was very well lead and organized. We were provided with good quality equipment, great tour guides and great food.

Sea kayaking in poor conditions: organisation and leadership overcoming adversity
A trip that could have been compromised due to poor weather was tansformed by the support and good humour of the guides.

Outstanding. Pre-trip material was informative but the the quality of the guides was superb. A trip that could have been compromised due to poor weather was tansformed by the support and good humour of the guides.

Hebrides Experience
Several high points on the tour included the Quiraing, the butt of Lewis and the Isle of Harris. Truly beautiful places that are very unique and remote made accessible though the Wilderness Scotland tour. Despite rain, wind and cold, or perhaps even because of the weather conditions which changed by the hour, the experience was life affirming and unlike anything I had ever experienced.

I felt prepared, had the necessary equipment on hand and used all of it, and the physical activity was good for the mind and the spirit. Well organized and a lovely accomodation on Harris that was very special.

Sea kayaking in The Summer Isles with Wilderness Scotland
The weather threw everything at us and so the itinerary had to be changed significantly but Wilderness Scotland are an organised and resourceful operator with good kit, good camp food and a good spirit. The midges didn't dare intervene.

Glad the midges stayed put while you braved the aftermath of Hurricane Bertha. Hope to welcome you back when the weather's a little calmer.

lovely guided walks in a remote unspoilt part of Scotland
Eigg was a revelation-a fertile, wooded, varied island with lots of wildflowers, beautiful views to other islands, interesting vibrant community. Kildonnan house was a joy, being situated near the sea with fantastic views. The food was great. Nothing was too much trouble for Marie, who ran the farmhouse. There was a lovely comfortable sitting room with a wood burning stove and lots of interesting reading material.The small number of guests ...

They were very obliging when we had to alter the inital arrangements

Mountain Biking - Harris and Lewis
The Hebridean Trail Mountain biking trip provided a different wonderful perspective of the ruggedness and long firm beaches of Harris and Lewis. In short the trip was thoroughly enjoyable and memorable.

Wilderness Scotland provide a diverse selection of Activity Holidays many of which I have signed up for. They provide an opportunity to witness and experience the magnificent landscape of Scotland and its wildlife. The experience is always enhanced by the wonderful and accommodating Scottish hosts. Wilderness Scotland guides are highly knowledgable of their particular discipline, Scotland's history and its flora and fauna. I am more than happy to recommend Wilderness Scotland as a outstanding operator.

excellent
I had a great week sea kayaking in the rain off the North West coast of Scotland. The guides were excellent and arranged great trips and were very willing to share their knowledge of kayaking.

The tour operator provide an excellent service. Good pre-tour advice, clear website, regular email contact, informative telephone contact. A very efficient service.

Atrocious Scottish weather not helped by indifferent hotel accommodation
7 days of walking and outdoors in the Highlands of Scotland. Hurricane Bertha put a stop to that!

Wilderness Scotland worked hard to arrange something for us last minute, but unfortunately the hotels they found were really not that good. The guide was excellent and some of their other recommendations very helpful.

Hurricane Bertha was obviously an exceptional weather event and caused havoc across the UK. As you note below, our team worked with you and your guide throughout the week to adapt the planned itinerary to make the best of your time in Scotland.
Wilderness Scotland responded to this review on 15 Oct 2014:
It is challenging to find suitable accommodation at short notice for a group of 7 people in August, which is the busiest month for travel in Scotland. As this was a bespoke itinerary, we had originally quoted higher end hotels but we then changed them, at your request, to match your budget for this trip. However, the hotels where you stayed are owner-managed hotels which provide a warm Scottish welcome and which are located in spectacular locations. It's just unfortunate that the awful weather that week prevented you from seeing the hotels and their surroundings at their best.
We're glad that you found our guide and office team helpful as we worked hard to help you get the most from this holiday. I have no doubt that you will have better weather on your next trip to Scotland, as it doesn't get worse than the weather you experienced that week!

Knoydart and the Inner Hebrides- inspiring experience of beautiful landscapes and excellent photographic guidance by Colin Prior
photographic holiday to the islands of the Inner Hebrides with Colin prior, comfortable stay at a cottage at a beach on Knoydart with a great group of 9. Excellent food and very friendly local people. Colin Prior is a phantastic and very inspiring photographer with great talent to teach photography experience-near and to also convey the beauty of those remote undisturbed landscapes through his own lifelong passion for it. This comes across ...

Colin Prior is a phantastic and very inspiring photographer with great talent to teach photography experience-near and to also convey the beauty of those remote undisturbed landscapes through his own lifelong passion for it. This comes across very authentically. The group was a lot of fun to be with, interesting people and we all got along very well. The local people on the boat and on land were very welcoming and competent so we could feel safe and at home. An unforgettable experience.
very good and competent information provided by Wilderness Scotland. Every question was answered promptly and the process went all very smoothly.
