About this tour
Spend a day exploring Scotland's wildlife up close on a private tour covering highland cattle, deer, falcons, wolves, bears and wildcats across multiple sanctuaries. The centrepiece is a guided walk through forest with your own alpaca—each group member leads one for an hour. You'll drive between sites in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with water provided, breaking for lunch at a family-friendly farm café with vegetarian and gluten-free choices available.

What to expect
Expect roughly equal time driving (4 hours) and exploring attractions (4 hours). You'll visit several wildlife centres in sequence, each housing different species—some in open enclosures, others behind secure viewing areas. The alpaca walk is the physical centrepiece: you'll lead your own animal through a forest path at an easy pace, no prior experience needed. Between locations, your private driver handles navigation while you relax. Lunch happens mid-tour at a working farm with proper facilities. The day suits mixed fitness levels but involves standing, walking and some uneven ground.
