If you are coming to Harris to birdwatch and glimpse rare animals and plants you will not be disappointed. Our wild walks are a great, safe way to venture into Harris' pristine wilderness. Our friendly, experienced, local guides will maximise your chances of spotting eagles, otters, red deer, porpoise, seals, dolphins and other cetaceans such as minke whales, all of which are here if you know where to look for them. Come in autumn to experience the drama of the rut, in summer for the machair flowers. Spring for bright dry cold days with snow still on the peaks.
