Make a Difference

wild camping in ScotlandAt Highland Ascent we are dedicated to give you an outdoor experience with a difference. Whether it is a sea kayaking holiday somewhere at the west coast of the Scottish Highlands, guided hillwalking in Torridon or mountain biking in the middle of nowhere we will make sure you have fun and give you at the same time an adventure you will not forget. As we have a great overall skill base we can also offer multi activity holidays with sea kayaking to a remote location like Knoydart, several days hillwalking and mountain biking expeditions.

What makes us stand out:

  • We are flexible enough to make the holiday fit your requirements
  • Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere
  • We take photos while you are on the trip and provide them for free after the trip (conditions apply)
  • We have a Facebook page where you can upload your own photos and tell everyone of your experience in the outdoors.

Our dedication to preserve the environment is not unique. However, we will also try to pass our knowledge on to our clients. After all you don't really want to see right away that other people have been camping just a few days earlier, just at the same spot where you happen to land your sea kayak or pitch your tent in the hills.

What our Clients say about Highland Ascent

hillwalking"... our instructor was the major reason for this fantastic experience - a generous, patient individual who gauged well the level of encouragement, instruction and constraint needed for three clients with very different requirements! And a great choice of locations."
Graeme, London

"Daniel and I had a fantastic time and were discussing how we really hope Highland Ascent takes off because it was a sheer pleasure to be on the trip with you."

Priyanka, London
