Our holidays are just that - holidays. We’ll try to squeeze in as many exciting
activities as we can, but still give you completely relaxed enjoyment, so that
you can ‘switch off’ for the week. We pride ourselves on our high level of
personal attention, but we won’t race around in pursuit of big lists. Our
guides’ enthusiasm is infectious and whether you are a beginner or more
experienced, young or old, we are happy to take time so you can enjoy the
wildlife on a Speyside Wildlife experience to the full. Our office team makes
sure everything runs smoothly before you arrive and our chefs at the Steading
often get more praise than the wildlife and can tailor the meals to any specific
requirements. Away from Speyside our holidays around Scotland and Overseas run
to a very similar format. We try to find the most friendly, rural, good quality,
family-run accommodation with ensuite facilities. For us, great food,
accommodation with character and comfort and wildlife watching near at hand, are
all vital ingredients in a successful Speyside Wildlife holiday.
You’ll find that you need little, if any, extra spending money (unless detailed), as our holidays are all inclusive - the price you see is the final price you pay and covers accommodation, meals, transport, boat and ferry costs and flights, as detailed with each destination. Not included are travel insurance, tips, expenditure for telephone calls, drinks, etc, at the accommodation and items of a personal nature.
Speyside Wildlife also works with a number of
Trusted Partners to deliver some of our holidays.
In 2016, we celebrated our 25th anniversary - what a milestone! Speyside Wildlife has always been focused on its guests and where they want to visit. Our ethos has always been; small friendly groups of like-minded people, where everyone is treated as an individual and not one of a crowd. If guests are one side of the Speyside Wildlife coin, then our staff are the equal and opposite other. They are what makes us what we are and their loyalty goes hand in hand with that of our guests.
From 2018, Aigas Field Centre is cutting back on their portfolio and will no longer be running their Scottish Islands programme. With 26 years' experience, we are pleased to be able to work in association with them and offer Island holidays to their guests, so that they can continue to experience some of Scotland's most stunning locations.
