Join Aleman for a inverness to the North Private tour through peaceful roads and timeless Highland scenery. Every mile brings the perfect mix of comfort, scenery, and culture.
Aleman’s tip: Keep your eyes on the water as we cross the bridge. Dolphins sometimes appear when the tide is right.
Worth knowing: The view changes every few minutes as the light moves across the land and water.
Aleman’s tip: Take a short walk to the edge for the best photo. It always feels like the Highlands are saying hello.
Worth knowing: The water changes colour throughout the day. Morning light is clear and calm, while late afternoon adds warm tones across the firth.
Aleman’s tip: Step out for a moment and look toward the far shore. The still water often creates a mirror-like effect on a quiet day.
Worth knowing: The path to the viewing area is short and easy for all visitors.
Aleman’s tip: The salmon appear when you least expect them. Wait quietly for a few minutes, and you may see one break the surface.
Worth knowing: You can visit inside or enjoy the gardens and views from the outside.
Aleman’s tip: The gardens are a favourite stop for me. They feel timeless and peaceful. The sea breeze is wonderful here.
Important: Interior tickets must be booked in advance.
Worth knowing: The seals are wild. They rest on the sandbanks when the tide is low. You can view them from a safe distance without any rush.
Aleman’s tip: Bring a camera. Soft afternoon light creates clear reflections on the water and shows the seals at their best.
Worth knowing: A distillery guide will walk you through the whisky-making process and finish with a tasting of their famous spirits.
Aleman’s tip: Enjoy every sip slowly. The whisky tastes even better when you have no need to rush.
Important: Please book early as spaces fill quickly.
Worth knowing: Everything in Dornoch is close together, so you can see a lot without feeling hurried.
Aleman’s tip: The local cafes are excellent. I often recommend one that serves homemade soup and freshly baked bread.
This tour is one of my favourites - it’s got everything that makes the Highlands special: scenery, stories, castles, and friendly faces. I’ll help you plan it so you can see as much or as little as you want without ever feeling rushed.
