    Went coasteering as group of 4 girls and we had the best morning! The guide was so welcoming and knowledgeable and made us all feel comfortable. The route we took was challenging but a lot of fun and we always felt safe. Jumping off the rocks was scary and our guide was there every step to encourage anyone that was struggling, but if anyone chose to skip a part there was always an alternative. No one felt pressured to do any of the big jumps.

    I would 100% recommend trying coasteering with Ocean Vertical. I am already looking for the next date we can book to come again!

    Fabulous afternoon on our first paddle boarding outing on Union Canal with the guys from Driftwood Adventures. Communication with Hugo was great before our activity, and Niall was a wonderful instructor. All the kit included was of a great standard. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking another paddle boarding adventure with them in the future!

    We did many things during our 2 week vacation to the UK, but nothing that stands out quite like our day tour of the Highlands with Ray.

    From the time he picked us up to when he dropped us off, he brought his passion and enthusiasm while sharing the history, music, languages and landscape of Scotland. When booking with Ray, we shared with him our interests and from there he created a custom day trip just for us. We saw countless castles, kirks and lochs while discovering the landscape not only for its beauty but also its historical impact and appearance in tv and movies. Ray is a storyteller at heart and will transport you back in time with music and the tales he shares.

    If you are looking for the best tour guide in Scotland, look no further than Ray. With no hesitation, we will be booking with him again when we return to Scotland. Thank you Ray for the best experience we could ask for and we look forward to seeing you again!

    Chris arranged & transported our family croo through some very scenic Scottish sights (mountains, sheep, castles, churches) and coordinated a boat tour & whisky tasting! He was a pleasure to be around and has the best warm jacket in the world! He's very knowledgeable, prepared, and just plain FUN to talk to. Chris was able to take our hodgepodge of ideas and create a memorable journey. We HIGHLY recommend Unique Adventure Tours of Scotland if you are in need of ideas and an exciting, unforgettable experience!

    Very friendly staff and good berthing facilities, good communication on VHF with marina on CH80. Pretty calm, even in >20knots easterly blow. Downside is showers and toilets are a long walk from the marina and in portacabins. Bit of a long walk if caught short!
