Caithness Explorer Single Day Tour

Join us for a private bespoke guided tour of the North Highlands in a premium 4X4. Taking a maximum of 4 people, each tour provides an unrivalled personal experience & travelling no more than 100 miles per day leaves plenty of time for exploration.

Be reassured, in line with all Government and Public Health safety guidelines, we have completed a full Covid-19 Risk Assessment and been accredited with the UK-wide Tourism Industry Standard and Consumer Mark - We're Good to Go'.

Overview: This one day explorer tour will reveal ancient history and stunning landscapes in equal measure.

The historic county of Caithness has so much to offer, yet if you only drive through on the main road without stopping – as many do – you are likely to miss out on the many sights and experiences which it holds.

Travel just off the beaten track and you can discover a land shaped by history dating back over 400 million years, a wild and scenic coastline marked by unspoilt sandy beaches and dramatic cliffs and a myriad of sea birds and other wildlife. Be introduced to, and enthralled by, some of the unique vistas which keep people coming back for more.

Tours typically start anywhere along the route to suit your needs.


TYPICAL HIGHLIGHTS:

● Dunnet Head – Britain’s most northerly point and home to colonies of nesting sea birds

● The Castle & Gardens of Mey – once home to Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother

● John O’Groats – the site of the world-famous signpost

● Duncansby Stacks – 6000-year-old sandstone sea stacks
