Well behaved dogs are always welcome on the Discovery Walk. Please keep your dog on a lead at all times. Your dog should be comfortable with meeting other people, dogs, etc.

We recommend comfortable shoes, either trainers or walking shoes for the Discovery Walk, and walking shoes for the Adventure Walk.

Rain gear is also advisable if needed.

In summer on certain days midge repellent might come handy, too.

The Discovery Tour is generally suitable for older children. Your kids should like walking and be interested in learning a bit about the area and listening to stories, otherwise they might not enjoy the tour.

You as a parent or a carer are the best person to decide if the Adventure Walk is suited for your kid.

Please see the walk description for details.

The Discovery Walk is in general an easy walk on mainly flat terrain. It requires a reasonable level of fitness as we walk for longer distances.

Comfortable shoes advised, best are trainers or walking shoes.

The Adventure Walk is easy in parts, however also a walk with medium difficulty as it contains more challenging sections on uneven, possible boggy ground, and some steep sections as well. A level of fitness is required and you should feel comfortable walking on a narrow roocky hill path for a while.

Walking shoes or sturdy trainers are a must for this walk.

Unfortunately not really. There are public toilets in Ullapool in West Argyle Street opposite the museum very close to the starting point of the tour. We might be able to find a public toilet in emergencies towards the end of both walks. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No, unfortunately not. We only accept cash payment. ATMs/Cash machines can be found at Tesco supermarket.

Yes. Private tours will provide you with the best customer experience. Your guide can really take care of you and tailor the tour to your interests. We want you to be able to deeply connect with places and people.

Yes, we are, although we might be away on some weeks for holidays etc. 

Please kindly note that the weather might be not so kind in winter and that the landscape looks less lush and green than in summer.

In general the Discovery Walk is a good choice out of the main season. The Adventure Walk is more tricky after heavy and prolonged rain or snow as the hill path can get very boggy underfoot. Please contact us and we will be able to advise.
