Ullapool

Ullapool Shore Excursions

Discover a different side of the Highlands with our expertly crafted shore excursions, designed especially for cruise ship guests who want to experience more than the usual tourist trail.

Our shore excursion adventures invite you to step beyond the obvious and uncover the authentic character, landscapes, and stories of the Scottish Highlands in a relaxed, fun and meaningful way. These tours are led by friendly expert guides who call the historic fishing village of Ullapool home and are passionate about the region and its heritage.

Each excursion is carefully timed around your cruise schedule and offers a personal and engaging experience filled with fascinating insights, hidden gems, and unforgettable scenery.

Choose from two memorable Highland experiences:

Into Assynt

Untamed landscapes, Castle ruins, Endless views

Venture beyond the reach of big coaches on a small-group journey into the wild and rugged landscapes of Assynt, accompanied by a local expert guide from Ullapool. Discover dramatic mountains, remote lochs, sweeping vistas and the untamed beauty of the Northwest Highlands as your guide brings the area’s history, geology and stories to life. Enjoy photo stops at Knockan Crag, Kylesku, Loch Assynt, the ruins of Ardvreck Castle and other spectacular viewpoints. Lasting approx. 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours, this tour is perfect for adventurers seeking solitude, raw natural beauty, photography and an authentic off-the-beaten-track experience.

Across the Highlands

Dramatic Highlands, Waterfalls, Victorian Charm

This tour takes you from Ullapool on the Scottish Northwest Coast into the heart of the Highlands.The landscape will change dramatically along the drive, from picturesque Loch Broom up into an empty Highland landscape made up of towering hills and lochs and then along a scenic river into the lush straths of the East Coast. There is time to explore the historic streets of the Victorian spa village of Strathpeffer, its former railway station and an ancient stone, and maybe have coffee and cake. There will be a photo stop on your return journey at an impressive waterfall as well.

Whether you are seeking spectacular scenery, memorable encounters, local culture, or simply a more personal way to explore, our shore excursions promise a warm Highland welcome and experiences you will remember long after your cruise has sailed on.
