  • Take a voyage of discovery in Belfast's maritime quarter, home to a celebrated museum dedicated to the most famous ship ever built, which was constructed right here in the city's shipyards.
  • Not only is St. Kilda home to the UK's largest colony of Atlantic Puffin (almost 1 million), but also the world largest colony Gannets nests on Boreray island and its sea stacks.
  • Stark Torridonian sandstone cliffs soar up from the Atlantic waves of Handa Island - a scenic island that offers rich rewards for birdwatchers.

Embark on an unforgettable 11-day adventure from the historic heart of Dublin to the enchanting city of Edinburgh, as we explore the breathtaking beauty of Scotland and its remote, mystical islands.

Our journey winds through a tapestry of emerald-green hills and golden moorlands, where ancient landscapes meet the sea in a dramatic dance of nature. We’ll sail across expansive sea lochs, their calm waters reflecting skies that shift from serene blue to misty grey, setting the stage for discovery and wonder.

As we voyage northward, we’ll encounter some of Scotland’s most isolated and awe-inspiring archipelagos—rugged islands that rise defiantly from the crashing waves, shaped by centuries of wind and tide. These remote realms are home to thriving seabird colonies, with puffins, gannets, and kittiwakes wheeling overhead in noisy, spectacular swarms. Towering cliffs and sea stacks frame Neolithic stone circles, silent remnants of ancient civilisations that once called these wild places home.

To truly connect with these untouched landscapes, we’ll board nimble Zodiac boats, venturing into otherwise inaccessible coves, inlets, and natural amphitheaters teeming with wildlife. These small-group excursions allow for an intimate look at Scotland’s raw, elemental coastline—a world where seals bask on rocky shores, eagles patrol the skies, and time itself seems to stand still.
