About Our Holidays

Yes, quite a lot of them are and we pride ourselves on all the help (and sense of fun) that our guides will give you if the world of wildlife watching is new to you. Please just get in touch with us if you would like to discuss a specific holiday or your experience level.

Speyside Wildlife! Our guides are some of the keenest wildlife enthusiasts around but above all else want you to have a real holiday. There are always lots of special birds, mammals and more to see (and we know just where to find the very best of them), but chasing big lists or dashing around is generally not our style.

We're curious about all that we see, though birds and mammals are our main focus and area of expertise. Many of our guides are highly knowledgeable on a whole range of subjects and we'll show you birds, mammals and whales with reptiles, amphibians, plants, invertebrates and more when we can. If you want to identify slugs we can often do that too!

During Your Holiday

Super fit! No, only joking - this will be a holiday, not an outdoor survival school and there'll be no route marches or dawn-to-dusk endurance. Having said that, we do offer optional pre-breakfast excursions and night-time wildlife watching on many of our holidays - it's an exciting time to be out and about - and at other times may walk a few miles on tracks and paths. The anticipated amount of walking is detailed under each holiday and naturally some tours are more sedentary than others. Just call us if you're at all uncertain or want to ask questions and our team can help you find the holiday that best suits you.
