About the activity provider
Our small company started up in Edinburgh in 2012 but in recent years we moved up to the Highlands to be closer to the nature we love so much. <br /><br />We are based for the last two years in the lovely village of Ullapool nestled in the north-west. <br /><br />From here we can offer great value day walks, 3-day adventures and week-long tours in the mountains and valleys surrounding the village as well as further afield. <br /><br />Many walks are just a stone’s throw from the main NC500 route around the north of Scotland and can offer a chance to escape from the confines of a car for a few hours or a few days.<br /><br />We love to explore and share our experiences and knowledge and we can include many aspects into our walks to make your trip extra special, for example, the teaching of basic navigation, mountain safety or visiting historic sites. <br /><br />Priding ourselves on our personal and relaxed approach, we always aim to promote the beauty of the mountains and valleys and coastlines in our much-loved corner of the world in the best way we can.<br /><br />We encourage an environmentally friendly experience and our exciting tours all over Scotland range from one day to multi-day trips as well as tailor-made packages to suit all budgets.<br /><br />Our guides are all fully qualified mountain leaders with a passion for the great outdoors and the stunning Scottish countryside. Safety is always important to us whilst promoting a memorable and fun experience for all. <br /><br />Our two comfortable 9 seater vans offer us a lot of flexibility with plenty of space for your comfort. You can also meet us at the start point for day walks using your own vehicle if preferred.<br /><br />We have lots of return bookings which is a huge compliment that we truly appreciate and we are proud to say we have many lovely reviews reflecting this.
