Walking: Uists, Barra & Mingulay Traveller Reviews

Leisurely guided walking on the Uists and Barra

Wilderness Scotland

My holiday was a walking trip on Uist, Barra and Mingulay

Wilderness Scotland put together a balanced itinerary with good accommodation and an excellent guide

Amazing exploration of the outer Hebrides with a keen, knowledgeable and experienced guide..

Great website and good info including trip grading videos. Very quick and helpful with responses.

6 nights of staying at B&B’s on the southern islands of the outer Hebrides. Hiking on beautiful white sand beaches, discovering wildlife , hiking hills for panoramic views of the countryside, ending with a memorable boat trip to Mingulay

First time we’ve been on a guided trip after several self guided. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Wilderness Scotland

I took a Wilderness Scotland trip to the Outer Hebrides.. I learned so much.. was challenged (happily) a lot. .. and grew to love every member of our group. I couldn't have asked for more.. indeed it was far more than what I did ask for.

The best! The best! The best!

Beautiful scenic walks experiencing the sights and sounds of the Outer Hebrides. Just wonderful. Walking along white, sandy beaches and through green lush country side. Comfortable hotels with ocean views, delicious food. Fun ferry rides too!

She was very knowledgeable of the history, flora and fauna of Scotland. She created a friendly rapport right away and was a joy to travel with.

Travel, accommodation, day outings and food were all very good, and our guide was excellent.

Efficient and friendly.

We spent a week with Wilderness Scotland exploring the Outer Hebrides. There were 6 in our group and a leader. We travelled from North Uist down to Barra spending a couple of days in each area. Our hotels were very good and the food excellent. We were able to walk a lot and spent time bird watching too. We had a great trip out to Mingulay where we were able to walk to cliffs to watch fulmars and sea eagles, and then we sat in amongst the puffins. There were seals basking on the beach too. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable week.

Wilderness Scotland. They were excellent in every way. We were given good information before the trip and the organisation was very good too. Our leader was experienced and an excellent leader too.

Excellent small group holiday. Great overview of the islands with the emphasis on walking, with time to appreciate the wild scenery, nature and history. Excellent accommodation in quite remote places, including one hotel on the beach.

Second time I have holidayed with them. Not all meals are included and you should read the small print carefully in this respect. Otherwise I highly recommend them.
