Wilderness Scotland is oriented as much to environmental concerns as it is adventure travel. Not only is this adventure travel company one of Europe's best, it's the only Scottish tour operator to hold a 5-star Responsible Tourism award. Trips explore the Scottish Highlands and islands. There are several special family departures; trips set aside for families that want to kayak, hike, and mountain bike in a small group. Private trips are tailored to individual needs. All participants should be physically fit. These are active holidays not sightseeing tours. Family adventure trips are geared to children aged 9 to 15. The minimum age on all other guided holidays is 16.
