eBike Safari’s

Custom Half or Full Day eBike Safari’s

Our ‘eSafari’ Wildlife Adventures have a selection of routes that will take you through some of the best Caledonian woodland in Scotland, over heather-clad moors, along meandering rivers and through glacial glens. We like to keep the exact route(s) flexible to make the most of the weather conditions on the day and we can tailor the route length and difficulty level based on your ability and what you wish to see. We will stop frequently to look at different species or points of interest.

We stand a good chance of seeing Golden Eagles soaring over the glens and potentially White-tailed Eagles, Goshawks and Merlins whilst Black and Red Grouse are both likely to be encountered. Red and Roe Deer roam the moors and woodlands. We operate all year and the wildlife we see will vary depending on the season. In spring migrant birds start arriving over the snow-capped Cairngorm mountains. Mountain Hares are often easy to spot in their white winter coats and the energetic, bubbling display of lekking Black Grouse is always entertaining to watch.

Throughout the summer the glens are a hive of activity with summer birds feeding up before their autumn migration, flowers in full bloom, young Red Squirrels and Pine Martens exploring their new homes and Osprey’s hunting along the rivers.

In autumn the leaves can look spectacular and the understory of the forests are often peppered with fungi. Bird migration is often in full swing and skeins of Pink-footed Geese may be headed south whilst the first Redwings and Fieldfares will be arriving into Deeside from Scandinavia. We also hope to witness the Red Deer rut where males come together to fight it out for the females.

Despite the short winter days, it can still be an excellent time to see wildlife. Mountain Hares and Ptarmigan looking pristine against the snow, flocks of winter thrushes arrive to feed in the valley bases and Black Grouse take to the trees to forage for buds. If you decide to join us in the winter months, be prepared for some cold and muddy rides!

Prior to booking we will call you to find out what you would like to get out of the ‘eSafari’, your level of cycling experience and discuss possible options with you.
