excellent
I had a great week sea kayaking in the rain off the North West coast of Scotland. The guides were excellent and arranged great trips and were very willing to share their knowledge of kayaking.

The tour operator provide an excellent service. Good pre-tour advice, clear website, regular email contact, informative telephone contact. A very efficient service.





Atrocious Scottish weather not helped by indifferent hotel accommodation
7 days of walking and outdoors in the Highlands of Scotland. Hurricane Bertha put a stop to that!

Wilderness Scotland worked hard to arrange something for us last minute, but unfortunately the hotels they found were really not that good. The guide was excellent and some of their other recommendations very helpful.
Hurricane Bertha was obviously an exceptional weather event and caused havoc across the UK. As you note below, our team worked with you and your guide throughout the week to adapt the planned itinerary to make the best of your time in Scotland.
It is challenging to find suitable accommodation at short notice for a group of 7 people in August, which is the busiest month for travel in Scotland. As this was a bespoke itinerary, we had originally quoted higher end hotels but we then changed them, at your request, to match your budget for this trip. However, the hotels where you stayed are owner-managed hotels which provide a warm Scottish welcome and which are located in spectacular locations. It's just unfortunate that the awful weather that week prevented you from seeing the hotels and their surroundings at their best.
We're glad that you found our guide and office team helpful as we worked hard to help you get the most from this holiday. I have no doubt that you will have better weather on your next trip to Scotland, as it doesn't get worse than the weather you experienced that week!





Knoydart and the Inner Hebrides- inspiring experience of beautiful landscapes and excellent photographic guidance by Colin Prior
photographic holiday to the islands of the Inner Hebrides with Colin prior, comfortable stay at a cottage at a beach on Knoydart with a great group of 9. Excellent food and very friendly local people. Colin Prior is a phantastic and very inspiring photographer with great talent to teach photography experience-near and to also convey the beauty of those remote undisturbed landscapes through his own lifelong passion for it. This comes across ...

Excellent food and very friendly local people. Colin Prior is a phantastic and very inspiring photographer with great talent to teach photography experience-near and to also convey the beauty of those remote undisturbed landscapes through his own lifelong passion for it. This comes across very authentically. The group was a lot of fun to be with, interesting people and we all got along very well. The local people on the boat and on land were very welcoming and competent so we could feel safe and at home. An unforgettable experience.

very good and competent information provided by Wilderness Scotland. Every question was answered promptly and the process went all very smoothly.





Spey Descent open canoeing
We certainly experienced a diverse range of river conditions. In fact the river rose so high we literally had to abandon ship.However the guides ensured we continued paddling and we circumnavigated Loch Insch instead, seeing osprey fishing and many goldeneye ducks.

Watching the beautiful world of Scotland float by
We were canoeing the great glen canal and passed through several lochs along the way, one of them being Loch Ness. Imagine Loch Ness on a misty morning and imagine the beautiful landscape of Scotland floating by as you paddle along in your canoe together with your team mates. There is nothing like it! It's a trip that brings you back to what really matters; living in the moment.

The best hiking experience
We hiked some rugged and beautiful mountains in the Nortwestern part of the Highlands. The name of the tour, The Wilds of Assynt, fits the description of what we did. We hiked, went on a natural history boat ride, learned about flora and fauna, geology, history in the surroundings we were in. The group was small enough for all of us to get to know each other and enjoy each other's company. The tour was an amazing and memorable experience.

This was a great hiking trip with a wonderful and experienced organization, Wilderness Scotland. They definitely deserve a five star rating, at least! They provided us with all the information we needed to prepare for the trip, the tour was well organized and we had an experienced, knowledgable and personable guide. I hope to return to Scotland and, definitely, I would go on another tour with Wilderness Scotland.

This was a very well-organized, thoroughly enjoyable vacation of hiking and seeing the sights of the western highlands and the islands. The guide was excellent, informative and knowledgeable; the "basecamp" outstanding - great hospitality and excellent food; and the overall experience satisfying. We would recommend it highly for anyone wanting to experience the western part of Scotland. However, be forewarned. Hiking conditions are difficult ...

The guide was excellent, informative and knowledgeable; the "basecamp" outstanding - great hospitality and excellent food; and the overall experience satisfying. We would recommend it highly for anyone wanting to experience the western part of Scotland. However, be forewarned. Hiking conditions are difficult - trails few and not well-maintained, very boggy and muddy, and weather highly variable. In spite of that, we loved the experience. It is a beautiful area of the world!
