Walking - The West Highland Way by Mark , 12 Aug 2019
Holiday Rating:

West Highland Trail

Great trip. Interesting fellow travelers, great views, wonderful guide. A truly relaxing "away from work" experience. Would highly recommend the West Highland walking tour for those who are not weak of knee and who want an immersive outdoor experience.

West Highland Way - August 2019

What an incredible journey! People said a was crazy walking 150kms as a holiday, but I would do it all over again tomorrow. Wilderness Scotland were an amazing company to book through. From answering questions pre booking, to the extremely well laid out hike (accommodation, meals ect), I will definitely be booking future hiking holidays through them.

I thoroughly enjoyed this hiking holiday and would definitely hike with Wilderness Scotland again.

We had a fantastic week hiking on the Isle of Skye. We covered multiple areas on the island and also visited Raasay.

Road Cycling - Casks and Castles by bshah1976, 8 Aug 2019

One of our best group trips...EVER.

We went on a mystery trip. We found out our destination at the airport. The only thing we knew was that it was a biking trip and the "supposed" weather. We biked 130 miles through the Highlands and experience Scotland like no other. Our guides, Craig and Scott (nicknamed by us as Bond and Scottiago) were simply amazing.

Wilderness Scotland was exceptional in every regard. I could write a book on well organized, exceptional, professional, fun, safe this company is, but I have to say it starts with the guides. Chris and Scott were the best. I recommend WS to anyone and if possible ask for these two guides. The chemistry between everyone is what made the entire tip 5 stars!

Scottish Sea Kayak Trail Central by KJ, 6 Aug 2019

kayaking on the west coast of Scotland

We had a group of 8 with 2 guides, all in single kayaks, paddling around Loch Sunnart, Loch Ailort and Morar for 6 days. The weather was mostly good, the scenery was beautiful, and the kayaking alternated between relaxing and invigorating. We stayed in inns with breakfast and lunches provided and 2 dinners included. We were driven by van and kayak trailer to the various launch points, and all the equipment provided was in good condition. ...

Top of the world feeling

Hiking the West Highland Way is an amazing experience. Much of it feels like walking along at the top of the world. Every view in every direction is unique and a precious memory.
