Supporting Sustainable Marine Tourism
We are dedicated to championing responsible marine wildlife watching in Scotland. Our team provide training and accreditation for skippers and are active in the development of sustainable whale watching tourism, as the creators of the Hebridean Whale Trail.
Supporting Responsible Whale Watching
Whale watching is a growing industry in the Hebrides that supports many local jobs. Working in partnership with local whale-watch businesses, and the WiSe scheme, HWDT trains responsible wildlife watching practices to minimise unintentional disturbance to protected UK wildlife. By encouraging safe and sustainable wildlife watching we can protect our marine species for generations to come.
THE Hebridean Whale Trail
Made up of over 30 unique sites across Scotland’s spectacular west coast. The Hebridean Whale Trail celebrates breath-taking places along our shores that look out across seas where whales, dolphins and wondrous creatures roam. From dramatic headlands, to white, sandy beaches and bustling harbours, the Whale Trail is awash with special places where nature and heritage are interwoven.
