Guided Wildlife Walks and Holidays on the Isle of Mull, Iona and Ulva

We have a wide range of itineraries (some linear, some circular) to suit every walker, from easy coastal rambles to more challenging moderately graded walks.

The easier walks involve less mileage (maximum five miles) but allow for a more relaxed time to enjoy the island's spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife.

The moderately graded walks, of up to ten miles duration, offer the experienced walker a more challenging pace whilst still taking time to observe and appreciate the local flora and fauna.

Following are a sample of some of Mull Magic's most popular walks. It may be possible to request a certain walk on a particular date. Please telephone or e-mail to discuss your requirements.

If unsure regarding your level of fitness and are concerned you may not be able to keep up with the pace of other walkers, Mull Magic offers custom guided walks.  This may be a slightly more expensive option, but guarantees a walk tailored to the aspirations of the individual. Feel free to contact Mull Magic for further advice and details.
