who we are

Based in Connel, near Oban on the West Coast of Scotland, we have been offering outdoor adventures since 1989. Our courses are peripatetic, thus enabling our instructional staff to vary locations and content to fulfil your ambitions and appropriate to your abilities.

We also have an Outdoor Centre, Tavool House based on The Island of Mull which is our main base for youth training courses, multi- activity courses and island exploration. Tavool House is ideal for group bookings. Whether it is self catered or activity based with our resident chef. Tavool House is a unique location for parties, New Year celebrations or just getting away from it all.  

Our specialist outdoor courses are designed around your ambitions and when possible your time availability. Over the years we have found that you prefer to decide on your choice of accommodation, size of group and where possible content of your adventures.

Hebridean Pursuits ltd are dedicated to providing quality, appropriate and inspiring experiences that you will never forget.
