Canoe on Loch Maree with Wilderness Scotland

Canoe on Loch Maree with Wilderness Scotland. Any visit to Wester Ross should include passing by the iconic Loch Maree, fourth largest freshwater loch in Scotland. Better still take the time to indulge in some slow tourism and canoe around its islands and learn about its rich history.

All of the loch’s islands are conservation areas – the largest of which is the only island in Britain to contain a loch that itself contains an island.

There is no tide as such, since Loch Maree is an inland loch, however, generally calm and sheltered, but can be choppy in high winds.

A little bit about Wilderness Scotland…

“Back in 2001, we set out to create an adventure travel company that really meant what it said in terms of customer service and experience. On our very first trip, we sweated over every possible detail to ensure that not only did everything go to plan but that we exceeded expectations and delivered a truly memorable wilderness experience. That focus and attention to detail remain the cornerstone of what we continue to do today. It’s the same commitment to quality and experience which we believe makes us different and helps us deliver unrivalled levels of customer satisfaction.

So, if you are currently weighing up your options and wondering what the Wilderness difference is, we hope the following will help you decide why you should choose to travel with us.”

Paul Easto – Founder of Wilderness Scotland and Wilderness Ireland

We feel lucky to live and work in such an incredible country. Looking after the environment which provides the amazing natural canvas for our adventures is not only the right thing to do, but also makes sound business sense.

Sustainability and Scotland’s wild places are important to us, and therefore we are committing to reducing our emissions by 90%. Our goal is to achieve True Net-Zero Status by the end of 2030, investing solely in projects that permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere for those emissions that remain. Between now and 2030, where we can’t reduce, we will invest in projects that remove, avoid or reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

It is also why we’ve been at the forefront of tourism and conservation. Since its launch, our Conservation Contribution Scheme has raised more than £50,000 for grassroots environmental protection and is one of the reasons why we’ve twice won the Best Green Tour Operator at the World Travel Awards.

We at Highland Experiences share the same values; if you would like to book a paddling trip with us please view our website here.
