Meet Aussie!

Aussie is our Highland Excursion mascot dog who loves to come along on tours. Aussie helps keep children (and adults alike!) entertained as we cruise around the area and when we take hikes as well. Aussie is a friendly and well behaved pooch who loves to be part of the tour and adds to the experience for many guests. If you would like Aussie to accompany your Private tour group, please let us know by telling us in the “notes” area on your order form or checking the Aussie box.  We will have to check Aussie’s schedule, he is very busy and can not make it on all tours.
