About this activity

Travel at your own pace, enjoy plenty of photo stops, and immerse yourself in Highland life with your very own Highlander Guide in a kilt. Fancy wearing a kilt or arisaid yourself? Just let us know.

To give you the best experience without rushing, we offer two route options: the Trotternish or the Minginish peninsula. Each explores a different part of the island and is planned around nearby attractions and sensible travel times, so you can see more while still enjoying each stop. Whichever route you choose, our aim is simple: a relaxed, memorable day showcasing the scenery, history, and character that makes the Isle of Skye special.

This is a private tour for 1–7 guests. Solo travellers are welcome (2-guest minimum charge), with savings from 3 guests and the best value when all 7 seats are booked.

Weather, opening hours or road conditions may affect our itinerary. We’ll offer a worthwhile alternative whenever possible.
