Awesome holiday - a must for any touring cyclist.

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?

Really fabulous walking holiday

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

Walking - Outer Hebrides & Skye by Chris, 24 Aug 2015

Hiking the Outer Hebrides

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.

Cycling the Outer Hebrides, Summer 2015

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!

Scottish Sea Kayak Trail South by Nils, 16 Aug 2015
Holiday Rating:

Amazing

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.

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

A wonderful walking holiday through The Great Glen!

Inspiring scenery and charming towns! Walking the Great Glen Way was challenging enough to give one a sense of accomplishment, whilst still being a pleasant and manageable route. This walking holiday was a very relaxing and invigorating way to see parts of Scotland we would not have otherwise thought to visit.
