The day begins with a majestic drive along the banks of mysterious Loch Ness - keep a lookout for legendary Nessie as your guide shares the tales and fables of Scotland’s most famed loch.
As we pass through the tranquil village of Invermoriston, the views will shortly change into a jagged wilderness. Your guide will share the remarkable history that helped shape these remote glens, and as we head west, the striking summits of the Five Sisters of Kintail come into view.
Soon, we cross the bridge to reach the Isle of Skye. After a scenic coastal drive, our first stop is at Sligachan. During the stop, we visit the charming old stone bridge to admire the views of the Red and Black Cuillins. Here, you will have the opportunity to take part in a short hike with your guide to explore the dramatic landscape, following cascading streams and ancient rowan trees.
Picturesque Portree, Skye’s iconic harbour town, is next. You’ll have 45 minutes to explore the pastel-painted waterfront, meander around the local shops, or make the short climb to the Apothecary Tower for superb panoramic views over the town and bay.
We continue our tour heading north to discover the magical Fairy Glen - a dreamlike landscape of cone-shaped hills and craggy rock formations, said to have been sculpted by the “wee folk”. Here, you will have the opportunity to climb up to Castle Ewen and immerse yourself in glen’s otherworldly beauty.
The adventure continues to the breathtaking Quiraing, a Jurassic landscape of landslips and towering cliffs. Join a short hike or unwind and take in the stunning scenery featured in films like Stardust and Prometheus.
For our next stop, we explore the legendary Old Man of Storr, a dramatic 55-metre basalt spiral that towers above Loch Leatham. This walk offers incredible views across the Sound of Raasay to the islands of Raasay and Rona.
Before heading back to Inverness, we pause at the iconic Eilean Donan Castle, perched on its own little island. Our return journey concludes around 21:00 hrs.
