Skirting the unspoiled coastlines of Scotland’s remote sea lochs and Hebridean landscapes, St. Hilda Sea Adventures revealed its 2025 season of wildlife and specialty tours will venture to traditional island villages, ancient castles, whisky distilleries and even the famed Isle of Skye.

This family-owned and -operated small-group cruise company will offer 14 cruises and specialty experiences for 2025, ranging from St. Kilda archipelago, a series of islands known for its seabirds, to the dramatic cliffs on the Isle of Canna to the Southern Hebridean Isles of Jura, Luing, Shuna and Islay. In fact, Islay is known as the malt whisky capital of the world.

Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler

The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
