Contact Donald: -

Due to the nature of this business (coaching/guiding/shuttling), it is often difficult to contact Donald during the working day. He also regularly guided expeditions in remote parts of the Scottish Highlands where there is little to no signal. He also does receive many emails and calls on a daily basis, so please be aware there may be a delay in responding to enquiries due to pre-booked commitments.

Please note that the Explore Highland office is NOT staffed and only open for pre-booked activities/or by prior arrangement.

You can make bookings via the Online Diary on the Explore Highland website (link above).

For general enquiries, please email info@explorehighland.com with as much detail to ensure a quick response.
