Highland Yaks - Activity Transport

31/07/2024

Two days but two different experiences…
The first day was all about History, Castles and Flora & Fauna and the second day was all about Whisky…Speyside Whisky.

Our clients living in London but from China and Spain enjoyed a wide variety on offer between Cawdor Castle, Clava Cairns, Loch Ness, Glen Affric, the Speyside Cooperage and Glenfarclas Distillery.

Highland Coos……✔️
Visit a Castle…..✔️
Mountains not covered in cloud….✔️
Ridiculously clear water, within a natural amphitheatre…..✔️
Sunny day, with proper warm temperatures…..✔️

Our day tour to Skye was a huge hit with our visiting Italian school group.
🐂🏰🏔️☀️🇭🇺

It was a great day out showing yet another group from Canada some of the local delights, right on our doorstep.

Whisky and specifically Speyside Single Malt was the order of the day.
So as usual we were more than happy to fit in with that brief.
Murdo and Buster, local residents at Castle Roy got a visit from us too.

The weather really did play ball for our Day tour from Edinburgh to Fort William for our clients from Canada.

With one of them being an engineer to say he was like a kid in a candy store would be an understatement for our stop to the Falkirk wheel!! 🎡

On to Stirling Castle and then a couple of stops in Glencoe, everyone was made up.

We had help getting the job done today thanks to a mates sunglass brand keeping road blindness at bay in amongst some rear bursts of sunlight we experienced….😎

And when they needed to be put away again (which was a little too often, to be fair 🙄) they had our back again with one of their nifty cases…very cool!!

Thanks Macca & Jess 👊👌👍

This was last month now but it was great to be able to help out with their clients biking needs whilst in Scotland on their trip.

Not only did we get to go to some great parts of the country and see some brilliant sites we got to meet some really nice people too.
A few castles to be honest 😉

It has been an absolutely manic time of it here at Highland Yaks feeling very much like we’ve been pinballing the length and breadth of Scotland….🤪🚐

But it was great to be back out on the West Coast again as it is always a highlight.
This time helping our friends out on their West Coast sea kayaking trip.
Have a great time guys 😎🚐

21/05/2024

Back on the West Coast helping our friends out on their West Cost Explorer trip, with an absolutely cracking day to get them started!

Another heads up for anyone paddling the Spey…

27/07/2023

Just a wee heads up for anyone planning a River Spey descent.
Keep an eye out folks 👀

A new hazard has come to our attention, again downstream of Fochabers. GR NJ 34753 62207

This a tree hazard that has been described as serious at certain water levels. Please keep an eye out on these lower reaches, one of the most dangerous sections with the river and hazards changing regularly.

If we can help with any questions, drop us a message.

23/07/2023

This sounds like a grand plan and if you need to ‘connect the dots’ we can help you out with that.

20/07/2023

I’ve said it before, I’m saying it now and I’ll probably mention it again one day…but getting out and immersing yourself in nature is not only good for the soul it keeps you in check!

Change of scene, different environment, meeting new people, doing new things…do it, do what you need to do to change things up.

You don’t need the best - bike, running shoes, walking boots, paddle sports kit, phone, laptop….

Look up, move forward, charge on and move towards that better you.
Trust me you won’t regret it, you’ve got this👊🏻💪🏻👍🏻

Ps - just a quick jaunt to a favourite spot 😉

Nothing like getting another Lairig Ghru transfer in for this year, despite it being November!

These keen beans were ready to press go for the crossing.
Nice morning for a drive.
🍁🚐💪🏻👍🏻

18/09/2022

A couple of workhorses right there - taking a well earned break, admiring the belter of a view on the doorstep, whatever the weather.

11/09/2022

Great to see another new local Aviemore business, providing the goods for the ever growing tourist market.

Well done guys 👏🏻 keep up the good work.

10/09/2022

We’ve kept an eye on each other’s businesses (from either side of the Cairngorms), passed each other plenty of times on the road, chatted a good few times on the phone.

But today it actually happened - we both pulled into the same carpark coincidentally and ‘officially’ met each other.
Good to finally meet you in person Calum!!

20/08/2022

If it is luggage you require shifted, we can help you out with that as well - whatever the amount and wherever you need it shifted to.

We were helping out our friends over at WOW Scotland with a luggage transfer - I think we ticked that box 🤔
