The Scottish Highlands contain some of the finest hiking landscapes in the world — and on this tour, you get three of the best in three days. Based in Inverness, Scotland's Highland capital, you're perfectly placed to explore three iconic and wildly different landscapes. Ancient Caledonian forests and mountain lochs in the Cairngorms. The dramatic, glacier-carved peaks of Torridon. The legendary beauty of Glen Affric, often called Scotland's most beautiful glen. Each day brings something entirely new. Your guide tailors every hike to your group's fitness and interests, and each evening you return to the comfort and amenities of Inverness — one of Scotland's most vibrant and characterful cities. Three landscapes. Three days. One unforgettable Highland adventure.

Glen Coe. Glen Nevis. Glenfinnan. Three of the most dramatic and storied glens in the Scottish Highlands — each with its own character, its own history, and its own unforgettable scenery. Over three days, your private guide takes you deep into each landscape on hikes tailored to your group's pace and interests. Walk beneath the towering ridges of Glencoe, explore the gorges and waterfalls of Glen Nevis in the shadow of Ben Nevis, and discover the haunting beauty of Glenfinnan — where Jacobite history meets some of the finest Highland scenery anywhere in Scotland. With a guide who knows these glens intimately, you'll see far more than any independent visitor — the hidden corners, the local stories, the details that bring the landscape to life.

On one of the evenings we'll visit a wildlife hide where you may also spot nocturnal creatures such as badgers and pine martens. Led by an expert local guide who brings their own knowledge and passion for the region, you'll get to explore ancient Caledonian pine woods, tranquil loch shores, and panoramic mountain viewpoints. At the end of each day you can rest and recharge in comfortable, hand-picked Highland accommodations.

Join us for 7 days of guided hiking in the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye. From the jagged ridge lines of the Quiraing to secret glens, deserted villages, and the shores of Loch Ness...this is Scotland at its most dramatic. Hike iconic landscapes and hidden corners with an expert local guide, learning the stories of Highland clans, the Highland Clearances, and ancient myths along the way. The first 3 days on the Isle of Skye blends the iconic hikes you would expect with a couple of lesser known gems where we get away from the crowds and find our own quiet corners of the island. In the second half of the trip we move to the wooded glens and waterfalls of the Great Glen and Loch Ness. There will even be a chance to hike the UK's highest peak, Ben Nevis, for those who are looking for a challenge. Each evening relax and unwind at hand-picked accommodations chosen for their location, comfort and character. Without a doubt Skye and the Highlands are best experienced on foot, and it's even better when the logistics are all taken care of.
