Instinct - Wildlife guides

We had an amazing day with Ruari in the Cairngorm’s. Such a special experience to see the area with someone with such deep knowledge and local connection with the area. If you are looking for a Safari quality wildlife experience in the Scottish Highlands, Instinct Wildlife guides are for you. And Ruari is a super nice guy to boot!

Thinking about a wildlife guide in the Cairngorms? Don't look any further! If you love your wildlife, landscapes and good knowledgeable company this is the place to go for an incredible experience. Had the best day with Ruari, it really was amazing.We got exactly what we wanted and more; and as well as the wildlife, we learnt so much about the area, the work carried out on the estate and a history lesson all in one. It is such a beautiful place and we will be coming back for more adventures with Instinct Wildlife.Thanks so much Ruari, we loved it and couldn't have asked for a better person to spend the day with.Nathan and Sarah

Another superb day out with Ruari. Had great close-up sightings of a juvenile sea eagle and a female hen harrier. Obtained some once-in-a-lifetime images which were only achieved due to Ruari’s knowledge, experience and field-craft of the local areas. Third trip out with Instinct Guides, never been disappointed, will be back again. Thanks Ruari.

Don’t look any further for a guide! We had an amazing day with Ruari. We spotted a white tail eagle chick, a roe deer and so many different birds. Ruari is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. It is a rare pleasure to meet somebody like him. We learned so much about the place. We will come back for sure! Glè mhath!

Hi Ruari, Thanks for a great tour last week. Definitely worth the early start to see the eagles !!!!. Very interesting to hear about estate conservation and your knowledge of the local area and wildlife. Enjoyed travelling through beautiful and wild landscapes and love your comfortable Jeep. All the best and good luck in the future. Dean and Gillian, Peebles.
