Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It was really good. Peter was an amazing guide and made the experience even better. We did more things and had more fun than expected. We will definitely come back for more!

Our best day in a 2 week vacation to the UK!!! Such a new and exciting experience. Mikey was perfect! Safe, fun and challenging all at the same time. Don’t miss this if you want to be adventurous in a natural environment unrivaled by anything else my family has explored!

We had a fantastic time coasteering. Our family spent 16 days touring across the UK (and Ireland) and this was one of the highlights. We spent time hiking, walking through caves and jumping off cliffs. Ross was a great tour guide and we connected with the family in our group. We also learned some interesting things about Scotland. Just FYI, bathroom breaks are few and far between, and it’s a good idea to pack your own lunch, though we did stop at a pastry shop as well as a small coffee shop. Overall a great experience and we would highly recommend!

Wonderful tour, our guide Gordon was great. He was able to answer lots of questions, kept us appraised of the weather and even got us out of a sticky situation that could have ruined the whole day! Absolutely would go again. Ben Vrackies is a great hike for experienced hikers, that last bit is pretty much a mile of stair case.

Wow!! What a day!
To start, Intrepidus Outdoors provided excellent communication from our very first email months before the excursion, up until the day of. Their colorful mini bus promptly picked us up directly from our hotel in Edinburgh and drove our family an hour away to Dollar Canyon.
Let me preface this by saying we are a fit family + we have canyoneered in Moab, UT and Maui, Hawaii prior to this excursion, so our family is familiar with harnesses, rappelling, and didn’t have the anxiety that a first-timer might have had in an adventure like this… plus this was the BEST experience we have ever had! Wow!!
Our guide, Ross, was friendly and warm and earned our trust quickly on the drive to the canyon. After arriving, we were fitted with neoprene suits, booties and helmets and began a very steep hike up to the top of the falls.
The suits kept us quite warm while we cliff jumped, zip-lined, rappelled, slid down rock waterslides, scrambled, and hiked through the canyon for several hours.
The excursion requires stamina, physical fitness, and a positive, confident, trusting mindset. What a great way to bond with our teenage boys! This was an experience of a lifetime and we would love to do it again!
Thank you Ross and Intrepidus Outdoors for an incredible day!

Fantastic trip from start to finish! Thanks to all the guys for making us all feel safe and confident throughout. Communication from Emma and Ross was great, really quick responses and answered all our questions. The hardest part was definitely the walk up the hill in the wetsuits - everything after that was a breeze! The door to door pickup was great too, it made organising very straightforward. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.

My wife and I did the canyoning trip with Ross and Alex and our 4 boys. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The abseiling was new to us, but they guided us through it and it was a blast. We really enjoyed getting to see the beauty of Scotland through this adventure.

To anyone looking to tour Scotland (in a non-touristy, somewhat physically active way):
A. There are walking tours and there are OUTDOOR tours. If you want to rent a van and go from point to point to point buying souvenirs/coffee/whisky, this may not be for you (but read on, please).
B. Scotland is a beautiful country will all kinds of nooks, crannies and complicated roads - it’s best to have a seasoned navigator.
C. Most tour groups in Scotland operate under managed standards. But not ALL of them are equipped to offer, support, maintain and encourage ‘nature’ experiences.
D. Those looking to get-out into the countryside and experience all that Scotland has to offer should start at Intrepedus.
E. Intrepidous can handle the spectrum - half-day walks in the countryside to the wild/wooly fun stuff in caverns/coast/big-climbs.
F. THIS IS WHY ‘PEOPLE LIKE US’ TRAVEL - to see what makes each place unique, beautiful and good. Intrepidus is in-it for the experience of sharing the great natural features of Scotland with the world. :)
G. Pack your own food, water. Expect a guide/guides who care deeply about their work, clean and trendy transport and an experience that will utterly be worth the fee.
Bottom line - party of five of us climbed Ben Vrackie, an experience that was navigated and narrated by Entrepidus; outstanding time learning much of Scotland, the nature and culture of the land.
Happy to answer questions but heartily recommend and will 100% use them again.

Hi, I have 2 questions that I hoped you could answer!
What are the activities like with Covid restrictions?
Do you have any activities that take place in Edinburgh?
Thank you!

Hello. All our activities start from Edinburgh but we go away from the city for the day on one of our mini buses.
We have enhanced safety procedures in place to minimise the risk of covid-19.
Hello, I'd like to know if this is suitable for families with kids 9, 12 and 14?

Hello Giedre, we would recommend a coasteering trip as you have a 9 year old. Canyoning would be suitable for the other two but it might be a little extreme for someone under 10.
