Walking - The Isle of Skye Traveller Reviews

I very much enjoyed walking on the Isle of Sky. Each day was filled with hiking in different parts of the island, learning interesting history of the area, and getting immersed in the beauty of Skye. Each day we saw incredible views and natural wonders in a true wilderness that we could get to fully experience thanks to our amazing guide, John, who had a fantastic knowledge and experience of this area.

Wilderness Scotland provided a very well organized, flexible and tailored trip with small groups, highly professional, skilled and personable trip guides and support staff. I also enjoyed the high standard of accommodation and restaurants booked. This was my second trip with Wilderness as a solo traveler and I will definitely be booking with them again.

A wonderful week of varied walks in a small group, based for three nights each in two hotels so you don’t have to constantly pack and unpack, with an extremely competent and knowledgeable guide. I have done a number of walking holidays and this was undoubtedly the best overall experience. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Wilderness Scotland provided a personalised service with detailed trip notes, packing lists, and background information to assist in preparing for the trip and making it the most enjoyable experience possible.

I enjoyed a weeklong Wilderness Walking adventure on the Isle of Skye. Each day was filled with hiking, interesting history of the area, the trail, the people, and natural beauty of Skye. A small group of eight with a single guide made for the perfect size group so that everyone could get to know one another and take turns sharing, leading, laughing and having a wonderful time together. The rain was present some, but it would not be Scotland without the stuff. Options were available when it did rain. Our group didn’t mind hiking in it and we were all prepared well to expect it. The rain did not dampen the experience for me. Fog too was special when we were able to hike in it and watch it burn off to reveal beautiful views of the Quiraing!

Wilderness Scotland is a full service operator and puts together a great package of adventure activities, accommodations, food, and fun. With a typical itinerary provided, I felt well briefed prior to the trip to know what to plan for each day. Detailed packing list, schedule, meeting information was all provided far in advance. Our trip guide was knowledgeable, kind, engaging, and a good people person navigating all kinds of personalities in our group. Her experience and training was a real asset and she was a joy to be around.

We did a week beginner/level grade one hiking tour with Wilderness Scotland on the Isle of Skye....simply amazing and a great tour company with which to work. The hiking locations were simply stunningly beautiful.

Wilderness Scotland is fabulous to work with and had a wonderful lineup of hikes to do. Our guide was experienced and very accommodating of the various hiking experience levels of their clients. They provided everything that was needed and had a great line up of accommodations to stay at.

The terrain was beautiful and diverse each day. Overall the trip was extremely well organized, safe, great people and loads of fun. Our guide was the best. Truly it was a dream come true.

Wilderness Scotland has provided an opportunity to explore the most beautiful and diverse landscapes of the Isle of Skye!

We went on a seven day hike in Isle of Skye. We stayed for three nights in the north and then three nights in the south. We got to see all around the Isle, which was fantastic. I really feel like I got a good picture of what life is like there, the history and culture of the place. We hiked about 6-10 miles a day, and saw many beautiful vistas and places.

Susie Hill is a pro, who is kind and considerate and thoughtful. I was impressed by her. She also had great insight into the land and culture. She was very good at telling us about where we hiked and showed us on a map several times all the places we drove to and hiked around.

Great organisation, fabulous walks and a professional guide who took a great deal of care to ensure that we were safe and happy.

Great pre trip information and helpful staff to call with any questions. The recommended equipment and first aid checklists were helpful and comprehensive.

Excellent walking holiday on Skye with a very pleasant and competent guide

Excellent in every respect

I did two back-to-back trips with Wilderness Scotland in July 2021 - The Outer Hebrides followed by Wilderness Walking on the Isle of Skye. Both trips were well planned and executed, with no glitches at all (no small challenge in these Covid affected times!). Food was great, and the guides were fantastic - knowledgeable, caring and even helpful in giving me suggestions for my onwards travels.

I would absolutely travel with Wilderness Scotland again. I found them very easy and helpful to deal with, and flexible too.

Daily walks of an easy/moderate grade in beautiful scenery plus excellent coffee stops . Good food and accommodation. Small friendly group og 6 walkers with 2 guides.

very helpful, efficient in difficult times. Always responded quickly to any queries.
