Itinerary
We will stop for a short photo-stop of Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle.
Kyleakin is our first stop on the Isle of Skye. This picturesque village offers the chance to grab some photos of the impressive Skye Bridge.
Time for lunch at the pretty harbour town of Portree- watch out for hungry seagulls! In addition to its natural beauty, Portree has a rich history and cultural heritage. The town's name is derived from the Gaelic "Port-an-Righ," which means "King's Port," reflecting its historical significance as a royal port. Today, Portree is a vibrant community with a mix of traditional charm and modern amenities.
The Fairy Pools are a series of enchanting, crystal-clear pools and waterfalls nestled at the foot of the Cuillin Mountains, they offer ethereal beauty and magical atmosphere. We'll enjoy a walk up to these blue, green waterfalls - and if you're brave you could even take a dip! Make sure you bring comfortable footwear for walking and a rain jacket in case of wet weather. * Please be aware that during the winter months, weather conditions may mean that on occasion it is not possible to visit the Fairy Pools. When this is the case our expert driver-guides will adapt the itinerary to the conditions, allowing you to explore some of the other highlights of the Isle of Skye.
The Sligachan Old Bridge stands as a rustic testament to history amidst the breathtaking backdrop of the Cuillin Mountains on the Isle of Skye. It creates an iconic scene that captures the timeless beauty and rugged charm of the Scottish Highlands.
This historic and iconic Scottish castle is perched on a small island where three lochs meet, offering a stunningly picturesque setting that has made it one of Scotland's most famous landmarks. See the castle and admire the surrounding scenery.

Traveler reviews
A great tour!
We had a lovely day with our guide Tabbie! The tour was well-organized and took you through incredible views of the Scottish countryside. Tabbie kept us right on schedule but most of all, she was a great storyteller. We learned so much about Scottish history and folklore as we drove through the beautiful Isle of Skye. A great day, even when we got caught in the rain at the Fairy Pools.
