They work with local providers and producers to support green and rural livelihoods while reducing the environmental footprint of their tours.Wild Discovery has been recognized for excellence, winning “Best Outdoor or Adventure Activity” in the 2022 Aberdeen City & Shire Tourism Awards and later in the national Scottish Thistle Awards.
