Going ashore
A qualified wildlife guide whilst ashore
Our daily excursions are designed to be flexible:
-
Guided Discovery: Specialist-led walks focusing on habitat, history, and wildlife spotting.
-
Tailored Intensity: Options ranging from easy beach walks to strenuous hill climbs.
-
Seamless Logistics: Popular one-way walks where our tender meets you at a new destination.
-
Independent Exploration: Safety-first support for those who prefer to explore solo.
When you aren’t exploring the islands, life onboard is defined by relaxation. Between the sightings and the shore-leaps, you’ll enjoy world-class hospitality, incredible local food, and the easy companionship of fellow travellers.
The Hebrides are meant to be explored, not just viewed from a distance. What truly sets our cruises apart is the depth of discovery we offer onshore. Every time you step off the tender, you are accompanied by a specialist Wildlife Expert, a dedicated guide whose passion is to bring the landscape to life.
Whether it’s spotting a Golden Eagle on a remote ridge or identifying rare orchids and machair flora underfoot, our experts offer a masterclass in the natural world. But it’s not just about the wildlife; it’s about your pace. Our walks are tailored entirely to you. You might choose a gentle, barefoot stroll along a white-sand beach, a one-way coastal trek to a secret pickup point, or a challenging hike to a summit for a panoramic view of the Atlantic. And for those who crave a moment of solitude, we are happy to facilitate solo explorations, providing full safety briefings so you can wander with confidence.
