Walking - Glencoe & Highlands by Dr. John, 17 Jul 2018
Holiday Rating:

Hiking the Highlands of Scotland

We had a wonderful 7-day experience hiking the Munros and trails for Scotland. We enjoyed the accommodations that were provided. Every aspect of the day's activities was taken care of- meals, travel to hiking sites, excellent support of hiking excursions, insights into the history and culture, and great team building. We had such a great time that we are scheduling a return next year with Wilderness Scotland.

Our main tour guide, John Walker, was a very skilled and patient leader. He was supportive and helpful at every opportunity. We thoroughly enjoyed his stories about the countryside and local culture. He even helped us locate and obtain some of our luggage that was lost by the commercial air line that brought us to Scotland. That kind of dedication was wonderful and has convinced us of the quality of the services that Wilderness Scotland provided.

Wilderness walking- high points of the Outer Hebrides

We explored different areas of Harris and Lewis each day, taking in the highest hills, along with magnificent beaches and a lot of local history. Based in a gaming lodge beside a loch, the accommodation was perfect and the food outstanding

Wilderness Scotland is a company catering for people who like to get off the beaten track. This was my second trip with them and I've been delighted both times by their very professional approach right through from their easy to follow website offering a fantastic range of holidays, booking the trip and finally the experience itself.

Wilderness walking in the remote Outer Hebrides

Daily hikes, very remote and rugged landscape. A full on tough week with a small group and superb leader. Covered most areas of Lewis and Harris.

Wilderness Scotland Grand Tour

Fantastic scenic week-long ride from Inverness to Edinburgh with stops at local cafes, Balmoral, Royal Lochnagar distillery, Glamis castle tour, St Andrews. We enjoyed the lavish picnic lunches, the beautiful views, the hotel bathtubs!, dinner at Taypark House and the scotch selection at Glenesk Hotel.

Sea Kayaking Introduction Course by PMC, 14 Jul 2018
Holiday Rating:

Fabulous introduction to sea kayaking course in the stunning north west highlands of Scotland

It was a five day sea kayaking course for beginners. We stayed in a bunkhouse and went to five different locations where we were given some instruction and then plenty of time to work on developing our kayaking skills. We were provided with all specialist equipment required and a kit list prior to joining the holiday to make sure we had the right clothes etc with us. The leaders were well qualified and experienced and I felt very well looked ...

The leaders were well qualified and experienced and I felt very well looked after, so important when trying out a new outdoor activity. It was a busy few days, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Wilderness Scotland ran the trip and was efficient and helpful throughout the booking process. They communicated well and some of the office staff knowledgeable about the trip as they had been on it themselves. There were several participants who had been on previous trips with Wilderness Scotland which is always a good sign. I would certainly consider using this company again.

Trip of a lifetime

We took a 7 day bike trip through the Outer Hebrides islands, Bara to Lewis, starting and ending in Inverness. Our trip involved some van travel, several ferries, lots of biking, always really good food, and vistas beyond compare.

Wilderness Scotland made sure we stayed in the best places, ate the most amazing food, rode on really excellent equipment, and kept us on a pace that was perfect as well as flexible when it needed to be. Our guides were terrific. The trip planners I worked with were so nice. Nice job! Of course they are working with a piece of heaven over there in Scotland. If you haven't been yet you absolutely must go.

An amazing trip to the beautiful North Highland Coast. This was a walking holiday that included climbing Ben Hope, the most northerly munro in Scotland. Accommodation for the 6 nights was the luxury Kinloch Lodge near Tongue.
