Hugely enjoyable, brilliantly organised.

A wild camping and kayaking trip to the Summer Isles - what could possibly go wrong? Well, nothing as it happened (apart from the midges, and we can't blame Wilderness Scotland for that - they even provided midge nets and spray). The guides were supremely professional, worked ceaselessy to ensure we had a safe, interesting and hugely enjoyable trip.

Wilderness Scotland were great. The pre-trip information was comprehensive, the guides were excellent - massively experienced and informed, very hardworking, very flexible and responsive.

Summer Isles sea kayaking and wild camping trip

Organisation and guide were excellent. Food was also very good especially for. wild camping. Guide's skills, consideration and all round friendliness was fantastic. I do not normally write such glowing reports but this deserves these comments.

very professionally guided in a beautiful location

Amazing holiday in the Summer Isles in North Scotland. Everything was very well organised. The guides were very professional. I always felt very safe with them. They were very good at giving us challenges in a supportive and safe way. The food was great - especially considering it was all taken with us and cooked on a camp stove.

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.

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.

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.
