ISLAND ENCOUNTERS

​​​WILDLIFE and BIRDWATCHING
SAFARIS ON THE ISLE OF MULL

All inclusive wildlife breaks

Island Encounters now offer 4 day all inclusive packages from our base on the Ross of Mull.
The accommodation is in comfortable en suite bedrooms with magnificent views in a stone built house set in a quiet location where abundant wildlife can be seen from the comfort of your room! All meals, wildlife trips with Nigel and pick up / return to the ferry terminal at Craignure are included. There is a separate guest dining room with sitting area, TV,  and free Wi Fi access - perfect for relaxing after your 3 course evening meal. There is no need to bring your car as a well-equipped 8 seated mini bus will take you around the largely single track roads of Mull, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the spectacular scenery and fantastic wildlife.

To provide the best quality experience we recommend early booking as places are limited.
