Options Six day holidays - The wildlife holidays normally take 6 days and guiding is comprehensive throughout. Generally numbers are low and you are likely to be in a small group of 4-8 people but we still go ahead with smaller groups of two ( a personal guided tour).

Bespoke (personal trips) - Professionally arranged holidays by arrangement so you explore what you want to see. These are tailor made trips and itineraries for people who want to see specific things like otters, black throated divers or ospreys or a combination of things botany, birds and badgers! We explore in detail the natural habitats of the Scottish landscape and go to special places, such as Ben Lawers and Tentsmuir National Nature Reserves and local wildlife sites with locally rare plants and birds. We guide people on the walks and point out features of interest at a leisurely stroll. We aim to give you a wonderful experience on foot and up close in sensitive way.
