Wilderness Scotland - Road Cycling Holidays
Wilderness Scotland is a 5 Star, award-winning adventure travel and ecotourism company specialising in active holidays in the Highlands and Islands.
Superb scenery, quiet highland roads and great hospitality are the hallmarks of road cycling holidays with Wilderness Scotland.
Guided Road Cycling HolidaysOur group road cycling holidays are open for individuals to join and have small group sizes.
Under the guidance of our expert and qualified guides we'll take you to see some of Scotland's most fantastic landscapes and culturally interesting destinations.
The trips range from an easy cruise from the Ardnamurchan Peninsula to the Ise of Skye to a challenging week of riding the highest mountain roads in the UK. Our on-the-road approach balances great guiding and insights. The group will always be accompanied by a support vehicle, always at the ready with drinks, snacks and friendly lift if you need a break. The support vehicle will also take care of your luggage transfers between destinations. Prefer to explore at your own pace? You can use the provided route notes to meet up with the group at the designated stops.
Most of our guided group departures leave and return to railway stations as we encourage our clients to book rail travel where possible and travel in a sustainable way.

Cycling at your own pace, you’ll enjoy the freedom to speed up or slow down according to your preferences, venture off to any of the many fascinating stops along the way or stop to get the perfect photo, without feeling like you’re on someone else’s schedule.
Our Self Guided Plus+ trips are not guided but provide a highly personalised level of support you won’t find on regular self-guided bike tours. A dedicated member of the Wilderness Team will be on hand throughout the trip, preforming the equivalent role of the “soigneur” a key member of every pro cycling team. Essentially they will take care of everything on the trip, except for the riding. Throughout your adventure, they will be on hand to drive the support vehicle, transferring your luggage, provide snacks and drinks throughout the day, shuttle riders where required, offer navigational advice, first aid and take care of cleaning and servicing bikes at the end of the day.
(Self Guided Plus+) Skye & the Inner Hebrides: Our Skye and the Inner Hebrides trip is the perfect way to explore iconic Scottish islands by bike.

Covering 235mi/375km, the route travels through some of the country’s most iconic scenery combining quiet rural roads with traffic-free cycleways and some gravel as you journey south to north through the heart of the Scottish Highlands.
(Self Guided Plus+) The North Coast 500: 500 miles in 7 days. This epic adventure on two wheels will take you through some of the wildest and most spectacular roads and scenery in Europe.

Our Green EthosWe are firmly committed to responsible tourism and all of our tours reflect that commitment. Our holidays are purposefully designed to provide a visitor experience that maximises the positive benefits of tourism while minimising any negative impacts. We are staunch advocates of the Leave No Trace principles, in which our guides are fully trained. On all of our activities, our guides will ensure that the impact on the environment, wildlife and local community is minimised. During your trip, our guides will teach you how to do this so that the knowledge is spread on your travels in Scotland and further afield. Our guides are ambassadors for Scotland's wild places and are passionate about sharing their knowledge.
It's not just on trips that we promote sustainable processes! We operate our holidays out of a carbon-neutral headquarters which is powered by renewable energy. We reduce, reuse and recycle, using environmentally friendly products from local suppliers where possible. In addition, our office car park hosts two public EV charging stations, and we subsidise staff usage. We encourage car-sharing and compete monthly for the most environmentally friendly commute! Lastly, we are committed to contributing annually to a nature-based charity that promotes conservation in Scotland. Check out our Sustainability Page for more info.
