Romantic and rugged landscapes
Starting in Glasgow (Greenock), your Hebridean adventure takes you to remote and wildlife-rich Scottish islands, discovering captivating local culture and history, and experiencing activities that bring you close to nature. We'll drop anchor and take our small boats ashore to explore these rugged isles – landing on beaches, going on guided hikes, sea kayaking and much more.
Wild nature and deep history
You'll be transfixed by the raw natural beauty of Loch Scavaig, Gigha and Iona,while an expedition day in the Outer Hebrides gives new meaning to ‘wild abandon’. Visit castles, historic homes and standing stones and experience Scotland's cultural notes with whisky, tartan and tweed.
