Expedition Tours
The Balmoral Expedition Tour is a wonderful two-hour Land Rover experience on the Estate. The charge for the Balmoral Expedition Tour is £360 and one ticket covers a maximum of six people.
The tour takes you through the manicured parkland and gardens in front of Balmoral Castle. You then travel through the Estate to the old Caledonian pine forest. This is one of the country's most important habitats and home to the elusive capercaillie.
After spending some time exploring this pristine area you would head out of the woods onto the open hillside. The views soon open up before you, as you travel through the heather high up the flanks of Lochnagar, one of Scotland’s most famous mountains.
The tour then heads back to civilisation via the monuments and historical buildings of Easter Balmoral. Discover the intriguing life stories of the resident wildlife and learn about the conservation management that is currently underway to help protect some of the United Kingdom’s rarest species.
Although there are no guarantees, wildlife species which are regularly encountered, include birds of prey, red squirrels, red deer, red grouse, black grouse, snow bunting and salmon.
This ticket also includes general admission.
Our audio guide lets you explore Balmoral Castle at your own pace and offers commentary in six languages:
- English
