Tours

Western Isles Wildlife Tours are the only wildlife tour company to be based in the islands throughout the year and are therefore in a unique position to provide the best tours you can get with the most up to date knowledge. We can offer anything from half day excursions to week long trips with everything included.

The day tours concentrate on what you want to do and see most. Otters are probably the top request and we manage to see them on the majority of our trips along with an excellent selection of birds and wildflowers. Birds we regularly see include: Golden Eagle, White-tailed Eagle, Hen Harrier, Red-throated Diver, Great Northern Diver, Corn Bunting, Twite and a whole host of waders and gulls. Spring day tours often focus on seeing Corncrakes, the skua passage and Red-necked Phalaropes. Specialised botany trips are also available.

 Full day tour in 2008 will cost only £90 for two people.

Feedback from tour participants

Meet your tour leader – Steve Duffield. He has studied birds for many years, first starting birding 28 years ago at age 8. Steve also has a passion for many other aspects of natural history and is currently the county moth and butterfly recorder. He has travelled widely in Asia, Europe, Americas and once to Africa but loves the wilds of Scotland. Before settling in the Outer Hebrides he spent two and a half years in Shetland working for both SNH and the RSPB. He has also worked as warden, seabird surveyor, seal warden and most recently as goose officer. He is also an enthusiastic mountaineer and rock climber, when time permits.
