Mavo28 September 2026Highly recommended break I would definitely recommend this trip. Laura is an excellent guide, who draws on a wealth of local and background knowledge to ensure that her guests get the best experience from the trip. At the end she provides a checklist of the species of birds and mammals seen, which added up to a surprising number, even in September. At that time of the year, the weather can be variable, but the colours are lovely and the midges were not a problem. Our group of seven was diverse but got on really well, perhaps as a consequence of the group size and the comforts of the Glenforsa Hotel, particularly the upstairs lounge with its views of the airfield and sea. Throughout Laura and Stevens had planned everything with great care. Their personal touch made a huge difference.Posted on Tripadvisor
Elizabeth G27 September 2026A wonderful holiday on Mull A truly wonderful time on Mull, a first time for me to the Scottish isles and I was blown away (not literally..) It is such a beautiful island, clean and unspoilt, teeming with interesting wildlife, and the landscape is staggeringly beautiful. What made the holiday, though, was our welcome and the care shown by Laura and Stevens, both truly dedicated to what they are doing. Our tours with Laura each day were fabulous, we all learned a lot and saw otters, eagles, dolphins, you name it... Our lunches were prepared each day by Stevens, and were a delight. For anyone travelling alone, this is a great holiday because you are in a group of up to 8, all with an interest in wildlife in common so it is easy company and I feel I made real friends during the trip. I really recommend this holiday.Posted on Tripadvisor
Fee66766724 September 2026Exceeded expectations We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Laura and Stevens - despite the weather seeming to want to constrain us, we managed to fit in a lot, albeit with a little change around on the itinerary. Highlight for me was seeing the otters, diving for their lunch then eating it! I could've watched them all day. Enjoyed visiting Iona and Staffa (though not so much the boat journey hahaha). Was great also to see a couple of white tailed eagles on our last day (Laura had set our expectations low due to the weather so was even better that they made a brief appearance for us). This is not a drive around and see what you can see tour - this is well researched and the guides are very knowledgeable about the island, the wildlife and nature in general. Our food on the tour was great, attention to detail second to none and the little surprises along the way were very much appreciated (I won't spoil it by putting them here !) Thank you Laura and Stevens for working so hard to make our visit to Mull so memorable and enjoyable. We will be back! Fiona & Richard xPosted on Tripadvisor
Diane H19 September 2026Incredible experience Wonderful few days with Laura and Stevens on the isle of Mull. Stunning landscapes and some great wildlife sightings thanks to the expertise and knowledge of our guides. It was a privilege not only to see the local wildlife but to learn so much as their habits and habitats. I really appreciated their sustainable approach to the environment and community on Mull. The trip was characterised by a lot of attention to detail and the lunches provided each day on our trips out were delicious, nutritious and very much home produced, first class! Laura and Steven’s are very passionate about nature and this very much comes through in the service provided which excelled expectation. I would love to do it all again! Thank you.Posted on Tripadvisor
Elaine D15 September 2026A wonderful week of wildlife on Mull Our wildlife adventure on the Isle of Mull was a fantastic experience, and we would highly recommend Laura and Stevens to anyone wanting to explore the island with knowledgeable and passionate guides. Laura’s knowledge of Mull and its wildlife was exceptional. She had a fantastic eye for spotting things we would easily have missed and shared her knowledge in a way that brought every sighting to life. During the week we were fortunate enough to see a wonderful variety of wildlife, including white-tailed eagles, otters fishing in the loch, seals, minke whales, common dolphins and a wide range of birds. Laura also introduced us to some of the smaller details of the island, including interesting fungi and plants, which gave us a greater appreciation of the whole ecosystem. The weather on Mull can be unpredictable, but Laura adapted our plans to make the most of every day. Thanks to her careful planning, we were able to enjoy trips to Staffa and Fingal’s Cave as well as Iona, both of which were highlights of our visit. Stevens’ homemade lunch baskets were another real highlight. Everything was prepared with care, from the bread and wraps to the cakes and pastries, and they were tailored perfectly to everyone’s preferences. It was a lovely extra touch that made each day feel special. We stayed at Glenforsa Hotel, which was a very comfortable and welcoming base for the week. The friendly staff, good food and beautiful setting made it a lovely place to return to each day, with the beach, river and grass airstrip all adding to its character. One of the most memorable moments of the trip came right at the end, when we watched golden eagles soaring over the valley. After such a wonderful week exploring Mull and experiencing its incredible wildlife, this was a very emotional moment and the perfect way to finish our adventure. Thank you Laura and Stevens for sharing your knowledge, enthusiasm and hospitality with us. We returned home with some wonderful memories of Mull and the incredible wildlife we were fortunate enough to see. Elaine and CraigPosted on Tripadvisor
266506315 September 2026Top Marks! Go! An amazing trip for us both. Seeing an otter bring in a freshly caught fish to devour was a great experience. A golden Eagle flying right past the van! Beats the Red Arrows!! Seals with pups near Staffa. Sun shine at Fingles. Dolphins jumping close to our boat. Dramatic views. After a long dry summer down south the rain was a relief too!! Laura knows her stuff!! Stevens food is amazing. They are a good team and guided our week perfectly for the conditions pertaining each day. Lung Lichen! Its the small details you don't expect.. a wildlife tour in all its detail. Ten out of Ten. Phil n PennyPosted on Tripadvisor
Malcolm D15 September 2026A truly wonderful break. From Janet and Malcolm What a wonderful holiday. Laura was able to show us wildlife we'd never have seen had we been on our own. One mustn't forget Stevens'packed lunches - they were something to write home about. The hotel was truly excellent from the point of view of comfort and the lovely staff. The only downside was the culture shock experienced on leaving the island.Posted on Tripadvisor
Fizz-and-tea-lover5212 September 2026Magnificent Mull What a wonderful week on magnificent Mull…Laura and Stevens provided everything and more to ensure we fell in love with Mull and all she has to offer. Laura’s expert knowledge and enthusiasm for the flora, fauna and landscapes was infectious, and the locally sourced lunches provided by Stevens were delicious! Our highlights were seeing Otters, our trip to Staffa and the stunning Fingals cave, escorted each way by pods of dolphins and our impromptu beach clean! Thank you for an unforgettable experience which we recommend highly! Jill and PaulPosted on Tripadvisor
NLampert8 September 2026Mull Wildlife Breaks highly recommended My wife Jill and I had a wonderful time with Mull Wildlife Breaks, very well looked after by Laura and Stevens (hotel and food were excellent) and incredibly well guided by Laura who knows everything about wildlife on Mull and about Mull in general. And what a beautiful part of the world. It was a small group of like-minded people who all found the experience very rewarding. To be recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor
stalker20244 September 2026Wonderful way to experience Mull's wildlife, scenery and culture. I am a specialist palaeo-anthropological nature guide in South Africa and am well versed in wildlife safaris. This is a very unique experience where Laura and Stevens (the owners) go out of their way to make this special. Not only are they knowledgeable about the whole ecosystem on Mull but they are able to give a feel for island life. I enjoyed the trips to both Iona and Staffa. Fortunately, we were able to land on the latter which made it very unique. The Glen Forsa hotel is comfortable, and the staff are very friendly and obliging. Stevens packed lunches are unique. The last days lunch was a particular highlight. I can't recommend this holiday too highlyVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
