Incredible kayaking experience

We took a kayaking tour with Wilderness Scotland. *Everything* about it was well done. The guides were incredible - great teachers, knowledgeable about All Things Scotland, kind, and expert at planning excursions that were challenging but not impossible. We saw glorious beaches, stunning views, and had a great time kayaking the ocean around the Isle of Mull. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and quiet. The food was wonderful (and they were able to accommodate my ridiculous list of allergies.) This was literally the best vacation we've ever had, and it was because of the wonderful people at Wilderness Scotland.

Wilderness Scotland does an outstanding job designing and executing there trips. The lodging, food and guides are all terrific.

The guides are friendly and extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

I’ve had two Wilderness Scotland experiences and can’t wait to sign up for a third.

Fabulous week biking with Wilderness…

Fabulous week biking with Wilderness Scotland. Biked 35-40 miles everyday and every day was more beautiful than the previous day. The accommodations were comfortable and classy. Food was great. But nothing could compare with our two guides who made the trip extra special. I’ve done a number of bike trips and pour guides were the best of the best!

Cairngorms National Park

I recently had the pleasure of exploring Cairngorms National Park with our guide, Aidon, and I was thoroughly impressed by the diversity of nature in this stunning landscape. Aidon’s unwavering guidance throughout the trip made the experience truly exceptional. His knowledge and passion for the park were evident, and he ensured that we appreciated every aspect of the journey. I’m grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the park.

As a suggestion, it would be fantastic if the company could offer more family-friendly packages or personalized experiences, particularly for those with young children. It would also be great to include options for outdoor camping, allowing families to fully immerse themselves in nature while balancing adventure and relaxation.

The guides were great but …..

The guides were great, and worked hard to make our holiday fun ,challenging and safe. Some of the routes on busy roads were a challenge, in particular South Deeside road in Aberdeen which the local cyclists avoid because it’s well known to be dangerous. I know as I live there!
My overall feedback is that your Brand Name is Wilderness Scotland. But the cycling trips you offer overall are not really Wilderness experiences, I struggled to find one and the Coast to Coast one was the only one which seemed to be close and it appears our trip was the last time you re offering it.

Still feeling the glow of Scotland walk

I decided on the walk in Scotland for the walking experience in a beautiful setting with a friend that now lives in Texas. Forty years ago she and I had hiked the Inca Trail together and wanted another walking trip. What I was not thinking about was the food or lodging - wow - they were incredible and made the experience over the top great. Our guide was knowledgeable in history, natural science and the small group really got along. Excellent trip - I still feel the glow!

Hiking on Outer Hebrides

The combination of breath taking scenery, serenity, history, culture, and great conversation made for a very memorable experience. Our guide (Craig) was very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and witty. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
