Ullapool is a beautiful harbour town and a perfect base for Northwest Highlands shore excursions. We plan private tours for couples, families, and small groups, with timing designed around your ship schedule and the pace you prefer.
We meet guests at the harbour and keep the day flexible, balancing scenic driving with short, memorable stops. We can tailor the route around weather, interests, mobility, and timing. For full touring beyond the port call, see our private tours from Inverness and chauffeur service.
