Escaping from the Kids?
Say it quietly - but sometimes it's nice to enjoy a holiday without the kids!
Whether you want to join a small group trip with other adults for some walking, sea kayaking or canoeing; or if you are planning an escape with just your partner to the Highlands for some self-guided walking, we can help with you summer trip.



The Wilderness Scotland website has details of our trips in Scotland. If you plan to travel internationally this summer, the Wilderness Journeys website has lots of enticing trips to choose from, with both small group and private trip options.


With the Easter holidays already a distant memory, this is the perfect time to plan your summer adventure. If the glorious Easter weather is anything to go by, we could be in for a wonderful summer and what better place to enjoy the outdoors than the Highlands of Scotland?

As you probably know, there is far more to Scotland than castles, whisky and bagpipes. The natural landscape of the Highlands is our biggest asset - it boasts the UK's highest mountains, the deepest lochs, the longest coastline and 790 islands dotted along its shoreline!  With this in mind, it is easy to see why Scotland has the reputation of being Europe's no.1 adventure destination.

We offer a wide range of exciting activity-based holidays for families, with both small group trips and private trips available. Small group trips are perfect for smaller families or for families who enjoy mixing with other families while on holiday. Private trips are great for families who need to travel on specific dates or who want to spend some quality time with their family and enjoy the luxury of having their own guide looking after them.

Sea Kayaking for Families

Our new Sea Kayaking for Families small group trip runs on fixed dates across the summer. No previous experience is required although this trip is best suited to families with children aged 10-16. All that is required is some enthusiasm and a basic level of fitness.  The trip is designed to introduce families to sea kayaking but we will enjoy some fantastic coastal paddles, so more experienced kayakers will enjoy this trip as well!   

Under the watchful eye of our expert instructors, you will learn and develop your skills  alongside other like-minded families.  The maximum group size is just 8 clients, so typically 3 or 4 families - this means that the tuition is more personal and makes the group more intimate. After enjoyable days kayaking on crystal clear water, you can relax in family friendly accommodation located in a peaceful corner of the West Highlands.  For more information on dates, prices and availability please click here.

If the fixed dates don't work for you, we can also run private trips on dates of your choice (subject to availability, early booking recommended). For details of private trips (which are suitable for groups of friends as well as families), please click here.

Multi-Activity Adventures in Perthshire

Perthshire - the gateway to the Highlands - is an excellent place to enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities, so is a great place for a family adventure holiday.

On this 6 day itinerary, you will join other families for an exciting holiday which is packed full of adventure. Activities include canoeing, mountain biking, rock climbing, gorge walking and guided walks.   

Our guides are locally based so they know how to make the most of your holiday. Friendly and enthusiastic, they are great fun so are very popular with children (and adults!).  In addition to the guided activities, a couple of free afternoons are built into the holiday which allows you to spend some quality family time together, perhaps visiting a local castle, enjoying a leisurely walk to a beautiful waterfall or even signing up for some pony-trekking.

After exhilarating days out and about you will return to a comfortable 3-star hotel where you can reflect on your day's adventure and look forward to the next one! To read the full itinerary and find out dates, please click here.

If you would rather enjoy a private trip, which can be arranged on dates of your choice, please click here for details.
