High Points of Outer Hebrides by Diane in Michigan, 14 May 2019
Holiday Rating:

Great hiking trip on the Outer Hebrides through Wilderness Scotland

Had a wonderful 7 night hiking trip in the Outer Hebrides with Wilderness Scotland. The hikes were varied with spectacular views every day. The hiking was occasionally challenging but our guide was excellent. He was able to make sure the routes did not exceed our abilities. He was very knowledgeable not only on the geography of the region but also on the plants and wildlife. The lodge we stayed in was very comfortable with friendly staff ...

A wonderful, trouble free holiday.

Rating for tour operator:

Wilderness Scotland created a trouble free and wonderful vacation. The staff in the office answered all my questions quickly, whether through email or online chat. The guide was extremely skilled but he was also very patient and fun. I loved that I didn't have to do any planning beyond getting to the Inverness train station to meet the group. All the other logistics and hassles were taken care of by Wilderness Scotland. I will absolutely use them again in the future.

High Points of Torridon & Wester Ross - A Truly Awesome All Round Experience

A perfect and forever memorable experience trekking the high points and rugged coastline of Torridon & Wester Ross. This was a professionally-guided small group tour requiring a high level of endurance, rewarded with excellent breath-taking climbs and scenery along the coast. High standard accommodation and cuisine nicely rounded off each day's endeavours. This part of the World surely provides some of the best unspoiled nature to be seen anywhere...

Wilderness Scotland were extremely professional with planning and execution of the tour. The itinerary was perfect and had a degree of necessary flexibility built in to account for local weather changes. Highly professional Tour Guide accompanied the group who was also highly knowledgeable on all things to do with 'The Highlands' which added a lot of value to the trip.

Photography Trip in Scotland

My trip to Scotland was the best trip ever. I went to specifically do a photo shoot of some of the wonderful landscapes that Scotland has to offer. Our guide took us to the best places for the best lighting and many picturesque areas.

Wilderness Scotland did a great job in organizing this photography trip. Our guide was fabulous, the food was great and the places we stayed were perfect. We spent time in small towns which was just great and exactly what I was looking for. We hiked about 45 miles through the Scotland Highlands and saw the most beautiful places.

Introduction to sea kayaking.

A short beginners sea kayaking course teamed with the stunning scenery of the north west Highlands. Snow capped mountains, unusual for early May, providing a stunning backdrop. The course ran over five days including transfers to/from Inverness. With accommodation in a cosy Lochside bunk house. Guides were first class and very knowledgeable of the area and sea conditions which meant they were able to find to best spots for beginners. All equipment ...

Excellent guide wih Wilderness Scotland

My husband and I took Wilderness Scotland’s walking tour of Skye and the Outer Hebrides with Craig Tweedie. This was their first of the season and only one other guest joined us. Craig shared his amazing wealth of knowledge of the history, geology, culture, flora and fauna as he guided us in some walks through the most beautiful terrain. Our accommodations and meals exceeded our expectations.
