MTB - The Hebridean Trail by Annie, 28 Aug 2015

A bike tour with a difference

Wilderness Scotland gave us an adventurous 6 days bike tour through varied terrain in the Outer Hebrides, some of it quite challenging. All levels of ability of the small group were taken into account with the different terrains. The guides provided gourmet lunches choosing beautiful locations off the beaten track. The accommodation was first class, the perfect end to a days ride.

Wilderness Scotland runs adventure style tours in a variety of disciplines. We found them to be very quick to respond to any questions and queries, providing detailed information and equipment lists for our cycle tour. The bikes which we hired from them were sized to fit the individual and of a very good standard. The guides were very professional and well qualified, considering each individual's level of cycling skill.

A wonderful along and above the Great Glen

The Great Glen Way was a stunning walk . Especially the high routes day 4 & 5 . The route was very quiet and peaceful , on the way there are interesting places to stay and quirky cafes to visit .. Loved it and the organisation was perfect . Nothing to think about Wilderness Scotland had it all sorted !

Excellent is the only word . Everything went smoothly like a machine with well oiled cogs. Without hesitation I would recommend them . They went out of their way to sort things out for us not long before the trip. This was at a time when other tour operators said they couldn't help us as all the accomodations were full ! Wilderness Scotland went the extra mile ! Thanks to you all

Walking - The Knoydart Peninsula by the finisher, 27 Aug 2015

Exceptional

We were based at Doune on the Knoydart peninsular, reached by boat from Mallaig. This was a walking holiday and you are often walking on rough ground rather than established paths. We travelled by boat to and from walks on Rum, the south of Skye amongst the Cuillins, and Eigg, and to the far end of Loch Nevis to be landed there, being picked up later from Inverie. On the boat we saw porpoises, a minkie whale, and were accompanied for part of ...

We were based at Doune on the Knoydart peninsular, reached by boat from Mallaig. This was a walking holiday and you are often walking on rough ground rather than established paths. We travelled by boat to and from walks on Rum, the south of Skye amongst the Cuillins, and Eigg, and to the far end of Loch Nevis to be landed there, being picked up later from Inverie. On the boat we saw porpoises, a minkie whale, and were accompanied for part of the voyage to Eigg by around 100 dolphins (so many is unusual we were told, it was a remarkable experience). The food at the restaurant at Doune was consistently delicious. On our walks we enjoyed some great views, and were looked after very well by an experienced and knowledgeable leader, whose choices of walks were excellent and challenging.

This was my first experience of Wilderness Scotland, we had a wonderful holiday, and I would recommend the holiday we did to anyone who likes remote places and does not mind walking on rough ground.

Really fabulous walking holiday

I walked the West Highland Way on an excellent guided holiday over 7 days. All accommodation was organised by Wilderness Scotland in lovely b&bs or hotels and my luggage was transported each day. All in all a really great trip

Hiking the Outer Hebrides

This one week hiking vacation was excellent. Wilderness Scotland thought of everything. Our accommodations, daily schedule and locales were fabulous. Our guide Tim Willis was excellent. He was an experienced outdoor guide and a true pleasure to be around. Every hike (about 2 per day) was different from the one before. We felt that we thoroughly explored the islands and their culture as well as their wonderful landscapes.

Wilderness Scotland provided an excellent experience from their website to their staff to their guides. Their description of the trip was accurate and the accommodations were top notch. I look forward to future trips with this operator.

Cycling the Outer Hebrides, Summer 2015

Wilderness Scotland provided a first class trip in the remote Outer Hebrides, covering a wide range of terrain, going to remote spots which would have otherwise been inaccessible and supported by top notch guides and with great food and accommodation along the way. Highly recommended!
