The Famous Aigas Wildlife Week
Our famous Aigas Wildlife Weeks allow guests the opportunity to see eagles, pine martens, dolphin, otters, red squirrels and more.
Each week will be based at Aigas and will spend six full days (7 nights) exploring the stunning hills, glens, forests, coasts and marshes of the Highlands producing breathtaking encounters with eagles, pine martens, otters, black throated divers, deer, crossbills, badgers and much more.
Programmes shift with the turning season, specialising on whatever aspect of wildlife is current. Our highly trained and qualified rangers will escort you in small groups to share the wonders of the wild Highlands.
All Aigas Wildlife guests will enjoy an optimal number of eight guests to one ranger both in the field and on the road.

- Evening pine marten and badger watches in our own hides.
