Overview

Our Private West Coast, Walking and Waterfalls tour is a unique blend of history, unbelievable scenery and remarkable geological sites! It takes you up the rugged and remote West Coast of the Highlands. As many Highlanders say "west really is best!"

This Highland tour is not available anywhere else and will leave you mesmerised by Scotland's beauty, landscape and legends.

Don't expect to be stuck in a vehicle the whole time as each stop gives you adequate time to stretch your legs, explore, and immerse yourself in each remarkable site! We highly recommend this tour for those seeking something different that will create memories that last a lifetime!

While we travel between stops you will be entertained with the history of Scotland, geological information, Scottish music, snacks, drinks and of course good old Scottish Craic!

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
