Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Cairngorms tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“Landmark Forest Adventure Park is coming up on the edge of Carrbridge. If you're after a family day of rides and exploring, give it a substantial part of the day; a quick drop-in won't do the ticketed park justice.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in the Cairngorms.
“The entrance to Highland Wildlife Park is coming up. This is a zoo visit to give half a day, combining a drive-through reserve with habitats you explore on foot.”
Heads up Animal sightings are not guaranteed.
“You're nearing the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre, the starting point for guided visits to the herd.”
Heads up The close encounter requires a rough walk and a separate uphill drive.
“You're nearing Aviemore station, where the Strathspey Railway leaves for Boat of Garten and Broomhill.”
Heads up The return journey takes nearly two hours and follows the same line back
