Featured Scottish Wildlife Holidays
Book your activity holiday with Europe's No.1 Adventure Travel Company - Wilderness Scotland
Discover Scotland’s native wildlife as you explore the dramatic beauty of its natural habitat.
Our wildlife holidays are a little bit different from others you may have seen or joined. While we do spend some time in hides or in vehicles, our trips are more active than a ‘normal’ wildlife holiday.
The activities are easy and gentle but you can expect to experience delights such as coastal walks, sea kayaking with seals and boats trips to seek our Scotland’s larger marine wildlife. The vast knowledge of our expert wildlife guides will help you interpret some of the fascinating wildlife behaviours while safely enjoying Scotland’s great outdoors.
Based from comfortable and welcoming accommodation, you can relax in the evenings and look forward to each day. We hope that you can come and explore Scotland and its wildlife with us.

Wildlife Adventures - The Shetland Isles
Have already mentioned Wilderness Scotland to several people.
Best Moment - can't say. I loved it all. I had been told in advance that in Shetland - it always rained - you were bitten by midges - the beaches were not special. We had no rain, but some lovely sun - there are no midges on Shetland - I doubt there are many more beautiful beaches in the UK. I will no longer listen to other peoples opinions.
