Adventure Scotland - brought to you by Scotland's National Tourism Organisation

Wilderness Scotland offers walking, sailing, sea-kayaking, canoeing, mountain-biking and ski-mountaineering adventure holidays in the wild places of Scotland. From hotel-based walking holidays to multi-day sea kayaking expeditions around the islands, our trips venture into Scotland's most pristine and beautiful wilderness areas, providing our clients with an unforgettable experience.

You will experience oustanding scenery, stay in some wonderful places (be it small hotels or wild camps), enjoy sumptuous local produce and learn about the Highlands through stories shared by our knowledge guides. You can also be assured that your holiday has been designed in an environmentally sensitive manner - we hold the Gold Award in the Green Tourism Business Scheme.

What we do best:

Sea-Kayaking: Scotland is one of the world's premier destinations for sea-kayaking, with crystal clear water, a massive coastline incorporating many different landscapes and plentiful marine life, including dolphins, whales and porpoises, which thrive in the clean waters. The many coves and sea-lochs mean that we can always find sheltered areas for paddling, regardless of the weather.  Our trips explore many of Scotland's seascapes including the Summer Isles, Outer Hebrides, Skye, Rona and Raasay and Arisaig.  Our sea-kayaking adventures range from trips aimed at the complete beginner through to trips for the experienced kayaker. Our guides will offer instruction and advice as required.

Available packages

Guided Sea Kayaking: Trips range from 4-6 days, and are graded from beginner through to challenging. Most trips involve wild camping but our introductions to Sea Kayaking Courses are based from a cosy private bunkhouse.

Is there a pub nearby?
