Wildlife Holidays in Scotland

Get closer to Scotland's wildlife

It's not guaranteed, but orca (killer whales) are occasionally seen in the seas around Scotland. Minke whales, basking shark, dolphins, porpoise and seals live happily amongst the locals from spring to autumn. Look out for the lesser-prepared visitor who's missed the lot because they didn't know to pre-book the whale-watching trip!

Whilst we can’t guarantee the wildlife – that is the natural beauty of it – we can guarantee to organise an exceptional wildlife holiday in Scotland for you to include trips with expert wildlife guides, to give you the best possible chance of thrilling sightings on your Scottish holiday.

Our Scottish wildlife holidays can be tailormade to suit, but here are our most popular holiday ideas:
