Full description

Head further afield from Edinburgh city and hike in the magnificent Scottish Highlands. Search for the Loch Ness monster and admire the remote moorland and dramatic mountainous landscape on this full-day excursion. Travel towards Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park where there’s a strong possibility to see some adorable ginger Highland cows that graze on these pastures. Continue north to the wonderful setting of Rannoch Moor, one of the most remote and wild locations in Scotland and also recently featured in the Netflix movie, "Outlaw King" among many other TV shows and films. Lay your eyes on the beautiful and dramatic Glencoe. Discover the dark and not so peaceful history significant in shaping Scotland and the world today. Learn about the tragic MacDonalds of Glencoe who once called this place home. Marvel at the ever-changing landscape, from green woodlands to rugged hills, long-shaped lochs and deep glens filled with mystery and intrigue. Hear a wealth of stories, myths and legends from your guide. Travel through Ballachulish, Onich, Fort William and then onto the banks of Loch Ness itself. Arrive at the picturesque Loch Ness and have the freedom to get out and enjoy a cruise on the water. Search for 'Nessie' the Loch Ness monster, undoubtedly a bucket list item for many visitors in Scotland. Or choose to sit back and relax at the water's edge and take in the panoramic views.

From here, travel east over towards the Cairngorms National Park where your guide will take you on a short hike in the unforgettable Highlands. Next, head further south through Blair Athol, Pitlochry, and Dunkeld where you can revel in the beauty of waterfalls and crashing rivers.

Best of my short trip to London. Our guide Chris was knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the small group format instead of a giant bus. I truly was only sort of interested in going toLoch Ness . I mostly wanted to see the highlands and do the short walks into nature. But even Loch Ness I enjoyed. Only part that was negative was I didn’t have time to get lunch in Loch Ness as I had to catch the boat and it was an hour boat ride. I’d bring a snack or sandwich if you plan on going on the boat. It’s not their fault there is not a lot of light this time of year. Dress warm and wear good shoes. It’s cold!

Amazing experience! Our guide Owen was great! He was so knowledgeable about Scottish history and culture, and very passionate about sharing it with us. He was very considerate of everyone’s interests. The views were incredible, especially Glen Coe. Absolutely recommended!

Meinem Partner und mir hat der Trip sehr gut gefallen. Wer noch nie in den Highlands war, bekommt auf alle Fälle einen ersten Eindruck, der Lust auf mehr macht! Owen war ein toller, angenehmer und lustiger Guide und hatte viele interessante Infos und Anekdoten zu erzählen. Er hat für uns das beste aus dem Tag herausgeholt! Man sollte bedenken, dass man relativ viel Zeit im Auto verbringt, bei den kleinen Walks/Stops kann man sich jedoch ein bisschen die Beine vertreten. Mein Highlight war auf alle Fälle das Glencoe Valley sowie das Füttern der Hochlandrinder Hamish und Honey!
