Wilderness Scotland are Scotland’s only 5 star activity provider and offer a wide range of small group walking and wildlife holidays in the most remote and beautiful regions of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. Venturing into the wildest corners of Scotland on walking, sailing, sea-kayaking, biking or canoeing holidays to suit your experience, we often enjoy close encounters with Scotland’s wildlife.

Our guided trips have a maximum group size of 8 people, which makes for a better all-round experience. Accessing wilderness locations with experienced and engaging guides means that you can connect with the landscapes and be inspired by adventuring the likes of the Knoydart Peninsula, the Sound of Arisaig or the mystical archipelago of St Kilda.

Specialised tailor-made trips with a particular focus, such as birdwatching, are also available.
