Wilderness Group Ltd Traveller Reviews

The Great Glen Way was a stunning walk . Especially the high routes day 4 & 5 . The route was very quiet and peaceful , on the way there are interesting places to stay and quirky cafes to visit .. Loved it and the organisation was perfect . Nothing to think about Wilderness Scotland had it all sorted !

Excellent is the only word . Everything went smoothly like a machine with well oiled cogs. Without hesitation I would recommend them . They went out of their way to sort things out for us not long before the trip. This was at a time when other tour operators said they couldn't help us as all the accomodations were full ! Wilderness Scotland went the extra mile ! Thanks to you all

We were based at Doune on the Knoydart peninsular, reached by boat from Mallaig. This was a walking holiday and you are often walking on rough ground rather than established paths. We travelled by boat to and from walks on Rum, the south of Skye amongst the Cuillins, and Eigg, and to the far end of Loch Nevis to be landed there, being picked up later from Inverie. On the boat we saw porpoises, a minkie whale, and were accompanied for part of the voyage to Eigg by around 100 dolphins (so many is unusual we were told, it was a remarkable experience). The food at the restaurant at Doune was consistently delicious. On our walks we enjoyed some great views, and were looked after very well by an experienced and knowledgeable leader, whose choices of walks were excellent and challenging.

This was my first experience of Wilderness Scotland, we had a wonderful holiday, and I would recommend the holiday we did to anyone who likes remote places and does not mind walking on rough ground.

A great combination of mountain and coastal road riding with great guides and small groups. I absolutely recommend Wilderness Scotland.

Small groups and high quality.

Superb cycling holiday from start to finish in the Outer Hebrides. Awesome accommodation and food, friendly people, safe roads, superb scenery. What more could one ask for?

Extremely well organised from start to finish. Good information pre-trip and brilliant knowledgable guides during the trip. Wilderness Scotland are the best at doing what they do.

I walked the West Highland Way on an excellent guided holiday over 7 days. All accommodation was organised by Wilderness Scotland in lovely b&bs or hotels and my luggage was transported each day. All in all a really great trip

Very efficient and helpful, gave plenty of good advice

This one week hiking vacation was excellent. Wilderness Scotland thought of everything. Our accommodations, daily schedule and locales were fabulous. Our guide Tim Willis was excellent. He was an experienced outdoor guide and a true pleasure to be around. Every hike (about 2 per day) was different from the one before. We felt that we thoroughly explored the islands and their culture as well as their wonderful landscapes.

Wilderness Scotland provided an excellent experience from their website to their staff to their guides. Their description of the trip was accurate and the accommodations were top notch. I look forward to future trips with this operator.

Wilderness Scotland provided a first class trip in the remote Outer Hebrides, covering a wide range of terrain, going to remote spots which would have otherwise been inaccessible and supported by top notch guides and with great food and accommodation along the way. Highly recommended!

Wilderness Scotland

6 days Knoydart peninsula with Colin Prior professional photographer

Not much contact. Two phone calls and several emails - not much to go wrong

I very much liked the combination of kayaking, targeted paddling skills training, history and biology. The friendliness of the Scottish people (and everybody else on this trip) was touching and I shall always remember this very positive experience.

Organised to perfection and great guides.

The second part of my Scottish Holiday and visit to my ancestral homeland was the Ocean Kayaking, level 8 trip to Orkney Islands with Wilderness Scotland, Stayed at the Birsay Hostel/Outdoor Centre on the north end of mainland Orkney. Very well kept, clean, and quiet. Experienced excellent guides, food, and again as the first tour wonderful companions on this tour as well. The coast lines and the rock formations along which we paddled - the "silence" of the surf caressed beaches - the ocean itself was wonderful, giving us interesting changes in its moods, interacting with the winds, and the resulting wave and counter waves off the shore lines, the seals, and birds along the way. The day of kayak surfing, and the delight of everyones smiles afterwards. As always the peace I have always found in these settings of nature - but this trip especially more, since I was visiting for my first time the land of my ancestors - I was at home once more - even tho I had never lived or visited there - I felt the same feelings of having returned to a home I once left long ago - the very same feelings I had when I returned to my own place of birth along the shores of Nova Scotia. I found again more of my roots. I want to return to immerse myself in the Scottish Highlands and isles. Ring of Brodgar

both tour guides were excellent sources of history, laughter, good food, good companionship, excellent leadership. I was nicknamed THE WANDERER by the tour guide for Wilderness Scotland.
