Inverness Isle of Skye Magical Tour

This is a Tour that you cannot miss out on when you are up in the Highlands. The road trip alone is filled with jaw dropping views that would make you want to stop at every point. Our selection will ensure you get to see the best of the best. The Isle of Skye is as magical as it can get.
Please be aware that it is not feasible to visit all the interesting places of Skye in a day. To make the most of your visit, we offer two distinct Options, focusing on either the North-East (see Tour Detail item 6) or the South-West (see Tour Detail item 7) of the island. This allows for a more in-depth and enjoyable experience within the available time. Whichever Option you choose will have the added time of the other option on it.

Our Itinerary can change at any time due to unforeseen situations like Castle private events, Operating hours of Exhibition Centres, Distilleries, etc. Rest assured that we can take you to other equally amazing alternative Attraction.

Glen Shiel

Glen Shiel, Kyle IV40 8HU, UK

Our first stop is in the mountain pass of Glenshiel. A historic battle was fought here, not as you might expect between warring Highland Clans but between the British Red Coats and the Spanish who were in support of the Jacobite Rising of 1719.
Today, it's one of the most beautiful mountain passes in Scotland.

1 hour, 42 minutes

Eilean Donan Castle

A87, , Kyle of Lochalsh, IV40 8DX

Located at the intersection of 3 sea lochs on a small tidal island is the most photographed castle in Scotland. It's interiors are as captivating as it is seen from outside. The castle is a popular location for films, TV, advertisements, fashion shoots and music videos.

1 hour • Admission Ticket Not Included

Skye Bridge

A87, Kyle of Lochalsh

Rising impressively above the water, the bridge offers ample clearance for even the tallest ships navigating these waters. Consequently, the ascent to its highest point appears remarkably steep when viewed from certain perspectives.

Pass by without stopping

A charming tale often shared with Visitors says that if you immerse your face in the water beneath the Sligachan bridge for seven seconds and allow it to air dry completely, you'll be blessed with everlasting beauty.

1 hour

Portree

Portree

We'll arrive in a small quaint town of Portree for lunch. Streets are lined with a variety of quirky local shops. A picturesque stretch of pastel colored houses by the harbour is a favorite photo spot for visitors and locals alike.

1 hour, 40 minutes

The Old Man of Storr

Our Feature Attraction Option 1 (recommended) will take you on an unforgettable journey through the stunning landscapes of the North-East of the Isle of Skye.
We offer challenging hikes or a comfortable walk at your own pace.
For avid hikers we find the Old Man of Storr rewarding. Legend points out to a giant who lived on the Trotternish Ridge. To be able to reach and touch the 'Thumb' of the old man is a once in a lifetime experience.

For a more relaxed hike, we can head out to the Quiraing to enjoy scenery that was formed at the end of the ice age when a bed of solidified lava about 300m thick broke away and began to slip into the sea creating a 'land-before-time' landscape.

This route also goes to the Kilt Rock with sea-cliffs that resembles pleats and even simulate colours of traditional Scottish kilt - about 180ft high.

Other Stops in our North-East route if time permits are Mealtfalls, Lealt Falls, Kyleakin, Rigg Viewpoint,

1 hour, 55 minutes

Fairy Pools

Isle of Skye IV47 8TA, UK

Our Feature Attraction Option 2 will guide you through the South-West of the Isle of Skye, a region rich in both mystical charm and historical significance.
A 2.4km walk on gravel, peat, grass, heather and an amazing view of the Cuillin Mountains leads to the stunning Fairypools. Some believe that the pools are gateways connecting our world with the realm of fairies, serving as a passage for their travels.

We'll step into Dunvegan Castle which holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and the ancestral home of the Clan MacLeod.

We'll visit the oldest working whisky distillery on the island -
Talisker. We believe it is a fantastic way to enrich your overall Scottish experience.

1 hour, 55 minutes
