Exceptional guiding, accomodations, and planning services.

Too many highlights to list from our latest adventure through Wilderness Scotland, but here are a few. We love working with David Russell as our private guide. This was our second year in a row with him. We had a well planned itinerary both trips, and Wilderness Scotland and David were thoughtful about accommodating our requests both pre-, and during our trip. The food was excellent except for Sunday night at the Mull Hotel & Spa's restaurant ...

Too many highlights to list from our latest adventure through Wilderness Scotland, but here are a few. We love working with David Russell as our private guide. This was our second year in a row with him. We had a well planned itinerary both trips, and Wilderness Scotland and David were thoughtful about accommodating our requests both pre-, and during our trip. The food was excellent except for Sunday night at the Mull Hotel & Spa's restaurant (it was marginally edible and the wait staff gets really poor marks for service). Very much enjoyed the Oban Bay Hotel and the Pennygate Lodge on Mull. Both were 1st class accommodations and meals. We had beautiful views from our rooms at both locations. We always enjoy the boat excursions - this time to Lunga for an amazing experience sitting on the cliff with the puffins, and on to Staffa which is a wonder. This was a wonderful day spent on the water with beautiful scenery in every direction (not to mention seals and dolphins. The weather was exceptional (as it was last year). The history, the scenery, the walks, and the drives were all impressive and really enjoyed. We could spend each day at our own pace and cover a lot of ground with David. He was flexible and always planned a fantastic day. We love Scotland and very much appreciate your expertise in travel planning. We will be back when we can as this is one of the top destinations on our list. Many thanks!

I have travelled with Wilderness Scotland several times. I enjoy travelling with a small group of people and a guide. The guides are always knowledgeable and experienced. They tailor walks and trips to fit the particular interests of the group. We always have excellent accommodation and food.

Fantastic trip kayaking around the coastline of Mull and Iona

6 days exploring the coastline around the Ross of Mull and the Isle of Iona, by kayak, and a day trip to Staffa to see Fingal's Cave and the Puffin colony, and on Iona visiting the ancient abbey. We had lovely sunny weather so visited beautiful beaches and coastline and kayaking completely around Iona. The whole trip was fantastic with expert guides, lovely accommodation and food. Very well looked after by Wilderness Scotland.
