Walking - The Orkney Isles by YVR to INV, 31 Jul 2019
Holiday Rating:

Breath taking hikes on ancient Isles of Scotland

This thoughtfully curated hiking excursion was an inspired blend of ancient landscapes, nordic ruins and Pictish culture found in remote vistas. I am grateful to have been introduced to Scotland's outstanding visual landscape with Wildness Scotland's intimate group tour. Rarely seeing other tourism groups provided a unique experience to learn about Scottish history and landscape at a organic and personalized pace.

Gordon Anderson is an exceptional tour guide. His thoughtful insights and wisdom about Scotland provided an inclusive group experience where each persons needs were met, if not exceeded. From Latin names for flora/ fauna and sea birds to his customized impromptu whiskey tasting, Gordon is a delight. No matter the weather Gordon is optimistic. His genuine pleasure being outdoors and sharing his country with visitors is inspiring.

Scotland Family Hike

A family of 10 adults ranging in age from late 40’s to early 80’s travelled to Scotland for hiking and exploration. We stayed in two locations in Scotland (Cairngorms and Assynt).

Wilderness Scotland planned a great family trip based on our desires to see certain parts of the country and spend our time hiking and enjoying the beauty of the country. Our guides were wonderful and made the experience better than if we had travelled on our own.

Best biking tour ever

Dave and Amanda made our holiday great. We saw the greatest scenery from our bikes which you can't do from a car. I can't stop telling friends and family how great this holiday was. I'm hoping to do another trip with them. I'm so happy we choose this holiday and wilderness tours.

Dave and Amanda were very knowledgeable and supportive. The tour guides are the ones who make your holiday great and they didn't let us down. I can never thank them enough for making this the most memorable holiday.

Walking - The Isle of Skye by Mandy, 24 Jul 2019
Holiday Rating:

An exciting adventure.

It was an outdoor experience where we as a group bonded beautifully as we hiked over breath taking terrain. Each day was a little different. The boat rides were exciting. The staff on the boats were most welcoming, as were all the people whom we encountered. The entire group enjoyed the vacation.

David was extremely accommodating to all our needs, right down to the numerous snacks that he had packed away in the van. He was enthusiastic and showed pride in doing a good job which was keeping us all satisfied and engaged in our journey of exploring the Isle of Skye. He shared some of the history of the area, stories of the ruins, and the names and uses of some of the plants —— all very interesting.

Sea Kayaking Introduction Course by Aussie Girl, 21 Jul 2019

Fabulous kayaking in the Lochs of Scotland

Great experience. Have only ever river-kayaked previously and this sea kayaking was such a different experience. Made even better by the two very professional and happy guides.

Brilliant hiking in Skye

Great hiking in the wilderness. Even though it was high season, we hardly saw other tourists. A range of hiking terrains. Good stories on some of the history of Skye. Great accommodation and food.

Very helpful in all areas. Informative, obliging, considerate. I didn't feel they were just trying to sell me any tour. They were very considerate and thoughtful to point me into the right trip for my abilities.
