ITINERARY

• Fairy Pools 

Our first stop will take us to the world-famous Fairy Pools. These crystal-clear rock pools are fed and connected by a series of waterfalls, originating from the nearby Black Cuillin Mountains. We will allow around 90 minutes to explore the fairy pools. The initial walk is up hill and of moderate intensity, so this part of the trip will not be suitable for those with mobility issues. It will take around 15-20 minutes to walk to the first of the fairy pools from the carpark. There are more pools to explore further up the path. If you don’t feel that the fairy pool walk is for you, then our driver will take you to an alternative location not far away!

•  Sligachan Old Bridge 

 At our next tour stop, you'll have the chance to dip your face into the legendary waters beneath the Sligachan Old Bridge, known for their mythic promise of eternal youth. As you immerse yourself in the crystal-clear river, you'll be joining countless others who have sought the revitalizing magic of this iconic spot. While you cool off, take a moment to soak in the breathtaking views of the Cuillin mountains and embrace the enchanting atmosphere of this historic location—truly a memorable experience on your journey through Skye

• Portree

Our next stop will be the quaint village of Portree. Our guide will be happy to talk through several options where you can get a quick bite to eat at a reasonable price if you didn't go for our lunch option previously. We will aim to spend 35 minutes in Portree before moving on for more experiences and adventure. We will also point out where to get the best views of the colourful harbour and a short walk that will reward you with a stunning panoramic view of the village.

• Old Man of Storr

After lunch we will visit one of Skye’s most iconic landmarks- The Old Man of Storr. The “Old Man” is a large pinnacle of rock that can be seen from miles around. We will stop at a great viewpoint and learn about some of the folklore of this impressive rock formation.

• Kilt Rock

As we head up the east coast of Skye, we will stop at the awe-inspiring Kilt Rock and Mealt falls. The magnificent 90 metre cliff resembles a traditional pleated kilt and is home to a spectacular waterfall fed by the nearby Mealt Loch. It really is a sight to behold!

• An Corran

 At An Corran Beach, the striking black sands contrast beautifully with the turquoise waters, which recede to reveal fascinating dinosaur footprints embedded in the rock. As you explore this unique landscape, knowledgeable guides share captivating stories about the ancient giants that once roamed here  

• Quaraing 

 At the Quiraing, visitors are treated to breathtaking views of rugged cliffs and dramatic rock formations that seem to defy gravity. This geological marvel, shaped by ancient landslides, creates a stunning backdrop for hiking and photography. As you traverse the winding paths, guides share tales of local legends and the area’s rich history, bringing the landscape to life 

• Lealt Falls 

This dramatic waterfall tumbles from the hills into deep gorge below, with a back drop of dramatic cliffs and stunning views out to the Sound of Raasay.  A short walk from the car park takes you to the viewing platform where you can take in the beauty of the falls and the view towards Raasay and The Mainland.
