This morning after a leisurely breakfast we will head towards Inverness and the Moray Firth to join a boat cruise.
Once onboard the Inverness Spirit Cruise we will enjoy stunning views, local history, and rich wildlife, all delivered through an engaging onboard commentary. We will navigate the Beauly Firth, venture under the Kessock Bridge into the Inverness Firth, and then as far as Munlochy Bay before returning to the marina. Hear tales of the local history and folklore whilst taking in the stunning views across the water and keeping our eyes peeled for passing dolphins. Before heading back to the Cairngorms we will visit Chanonry Point, this narrow peninsula is an ideal location with views across the Moray Firth to Fort George and with lots of fellow dolphin watchers you are unlikely to miss any sightings. This afternoon before heading back to our accommodation we will head to beautiful Rothiemurchus Estate where we will feed magnificent Red Deer.

This morning alarms are set early to rise for a very special early first morning light osprey photography session. Our eyes will be trained to the skies to look out for this iconic bird. Late April and early morning would be the best time to see the male birds fishing so hopefully we will see this majestic bird plunging towards the water surrounding by the stunning Cairngorms National Park. After a fabulous morning we will pick our bags up from our accommodation in Aviemore and head South to Perthshire. Take this opportunity to have a nap after our early start, if you are feeling like another visit then we will stop at the Loch of the Lowes this reserve covers 130 hectares including woodland, freshwater loch and the visitor centre and hides. There is potential for osprey, great crested grebe as well as red squirrels, mallards, swans, fallow deer and great-spotted woodpeckers. After a lovely afternoon we will head to Callander and our comfortable accommodation for your final night.
