We've travelled with Wilderness Scotland for a number of activity holidays including walking, canoeing, kayaking and cycling. They continue to impress, especially in their management of a group holiday in this particular reopening phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Walking - The Isle of Skye by Louise A., 26 Jul 2021
Holiday Rating:

Fantastic experience!

I did two back-to-back trips with Wilderness Scotland in July 2021 - The Outer Hebrides followed by Wilderness Walking on the Isle of Skye. Both trips were well planned and executed, with no glitches at all (no small challenge in these Covid affected times!). Food was great, and the guides were fantastic - knowledgeable, caring and even helpful in giving me suggestions for my onwards travels.

Road Cycling: North Coast 500 by johnarzt, 19 Jul 2021
Holiday Rating:

A well organised and thoroughly enjoyable weeks cycling where all of the angst had been removed

We covered selected parts of the NC 500 route on road bikes in July 2021 - the views along the West cast were stunning and the day off activities in Ullapool on one of the boat trips was memorable for the Dolphins. Would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a good challenge on a road bike without the hassle of trying to organise it.
