What you can expect

  • You will be picked up by your guide from the arranged pickup point at a time to suit you. It is essential that we create the itinerary of your bespoke tour together by email, with the understanding that it's not possible to see all of Skye in one day. A distillery booking will impact on the time available for scenic visits.

    Most tours begin with the famous Trotternish peninsula including the Old Man of Storr, Lealt Falls, the Kilt Rock and the Quirang. This stunning topography, a popular location for many film-makers, was created around 60 million years ago by a massive landslip. You may wish to calm your nerves with a wee dram from your guide's mobile bar at some point!

    After that, we will optionally visit the tragic ruin of Duntulm Castle which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean also optionally visit the Crofters' Museum nearby which centres on 5 ancient 'black' houses recreating the living conditions of 200 years ago.

    On the western side of the peninsula we continue to the Fairy Glen.

    If there is a requirement to strike further west to either Dunvegan Castle, Neist Point Lighthouse or the Fairy Pools, this will depend on what previous options have been chosen and whether time remaining on the 8 hour tour allows. We offer an immersive experience so that you are not hurried in any of the locations we visit.

    Finally your guide will drop you back at the arranged dropoff having immersed yourself in the beauty and violent history of the Island.
