Day tours to the Isle of Skye, Loch Ness, The Cairngorms National Park and the stunning West Highlands are our speciality. We are flexible and can go to the places you want to visit. Bespoke tours are possible.
We are fluent Scottish Gaelic speakers and the deep connection between the language, the people and the land is at the heart of our philosophy. It’s authentic, based on knowledge and passionate about sharing.

If walking on the hills is your thing, we can offer a guiding service using qualified mountain leaders. We also offer a tour planning service and logistical support. That means that you can take part in your adventure using a plan which works and have your equipment in the right place, at the right time.
