We offer guided holiday options that combine both outdoor activity and Scottish hospitality.

We welcome private group bookings as well as indviduals or smaller groups, and ages from teens to those in their 60s or even 70s, depending on the venue and nature of the tour.

“The trip was glorious. Highlights were the location that despite the weather allowed us to see the wilderness in all its glory. Our guide, Stewart was awesome; knowledgeable, assertive, accommodating, fun and a great host. We felt safe but challenged at all times.The group were great and we all gelled really well, one another’s company making the trip really special. The kit provided served its purpose and was high quality. The trip was respectful of nature and sustainability. We had all the weathers and the extra big tent provided a great communal space for evenings chatting, eating, drinking and playing games in the rain and gales! The food and drink provision was fab! An awesome experience, thankyou and will definitely return to this way of experiencing adventure. Feel cleansed, nourished and rebooted!”

Kayak and Wild Camp the West Coast of Scotland Holiday

“Superb trip. Location was always going to be amazing, but it was the organisation of the trip that created the 5* experience. Andy is an incredibly talented guide and a brilliant human being! His planning and organisation were incredibly efficient, he is a fantastic communicator and very skilled at managing groups and individuals, and his cooking and camp-craft skills were beyond belief! He was clearly very well supported by organisational systems and structures at IYE as well. The ability to react to changing weather and circumstances with no detrimental impact on the trip was testament to this. Campsites were very well chosen and amazing places to stay. Health and safety was a clear priority. Kit was great. Group dynamics made the trip, but this was in large part due to the atmosphere created by Andy and his energy and enthusiasm.”
