WOW WOW WOW What a wonderful way to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and get back to nature. Far exceeded our expectations.

This vacation “cruise” met our needs activity levels perfectly. Dan likes to relax I like to be busy, active – we were able to do both. Still enjoy this experience together.

Wasn’t sure what to expect, but all experiences were way beyond what we’d thought from looking at pictures and blurb

This holiday was outstanding throughout. The local knowledge the crew have was always given, in an entertaining and interesting way and this was just a smidge of the whole experience. Fun – entertaining – thrilling – exciting – tranquil – friendly.

I had an excellent holiday. It exceeded my expectations and I would recommend a Caledonian Discovery holiday to my friends and family and anyone who enjoys gorgeous scenery, a mix of outdoor activities, delicious food and lots of laughter and fun.

The ‘Great Glen Way’ is what it is… a challenge but do-able, especially with your excellent back up.

What a fun week. We really managed to stop thinking about the pandemic and enjoy a holiday. Thank you. Taken from a personal card delivered to Caledonian Discovery – 2021

Cannot fault the whole experience. Well organised in all aspects i.e. food times and logistics of walks, staff very friendly and welcoming. The whole journey is well worked out and organised. Thank you

We thought the company made exemplary measures in following Covid 19 regulations. The overall effect was one of personal safety… it could not have been improved, in our opinion.

This was the first trip since lockdown. Could not have felt safer. Food was exceptional all activities great fun – walking, cycling and canoeing, catering for all abilities. Saw my first Golden Eagle and otter which guides identified, also saw ospreys.

The best organised walking holiday we have been on. All the little details thought through. Excellent

Fantastic holiday walking the Great Glen. Walk in the day and back to the floating hotel in the evening….. Food was just what we needed, plenty and delicious. Amazing hot showers, better than most hotels. Comfy bed, compact and bijoux room.

I wanted to walk The Great Glen and having looked at all the options I chose this. How pleased I was that I made that decision. The whole experience exceeded my expectations, no doubt enhanced by wonderful weather and lovely companions but even so, it is the only way to walk the glen, and yes I did it all, coast to coast. A lovely crew, comfortable accommodation and great food made this an exceptional holiday.

In the middle of May 2018 we had the company of the Colorado Mountain Club’s Adventure Travel.  They loved the experience and have kindly allowed us to share their blog Walking Scotland – An Outlander experience of the week aboard Fingal.

So friendly and well organised you have thought of everything. The mix of wildlife & social history works so well and the crew is knowledgeable

An outstanding holiday which far exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing and crew could not have been more helpful on information. Many thanks.

I had a fabulous time on the trip – the only way to walk the great glen.

Best last-minute, spontaneous holiday I’ve ever booked!

Crew were patient and helpful with beginners, which made the activity more enjoyable.

Activities – A good variety and I felt safe in the water even though I cannot swim

Much better than I expected. The choice of activities was outstanding and the crew was top notch every day, all day.

We did not know what the cruise would be like – the experience far exceeded expectations- the crew were superb as the range of activities were really appealing. Food brilliant and accommodation very good. Thank you

From beginning to end this week has been marvelous, a seamless transition from apprehensive holidaymakers to fit happy – sad to leave, outward bounders.



Nothing like it in all my travels, throughout the world. The feeling of “home” on the water with friends (immediately) was quite outstanding. Your attention to detail, to customer importance to interpersonal skills was appreciated and admired.

So glad I followed up on an idea that the trip was possible. Much more than I expected.
