Dundreggan at Sunrise Experiences
See the beautiful landscape and wildlife of Dundreggan as few do, with our exclusive overnight sunrise tour.
Guided by our expert estate and visitor experience team, you’ll be taken to hard-to-reach areas of the estate, to see rewilding in action across the landscape. You will pass by areas of natural regeneration and trees planted by volunteers over the years, as well as remnants of ancient Caledonian pinewood.
And come ready to be on the watch for some of our elusive wildlife. With binoculars and hand lenses at the ready, we’ll be looking for deer, mountain hare, black grouse, and many other kinds of smaller species, including insects, lichens and fungi. You may even spot some signs of red squirrel activity nearby.
After the morning out on the estate, you’ll head back to Dundreggan Rewilding Centre to enjoy a lovely meal in An Nead Café.
