From Inverness: Skye Explorer Full-Day Tour with 3 Hikes

Discover Skye, Portree, and Eilean Donan Castle, and take in stunning views on a trip from Inverness. Experience four guided hikes to the Old Man of Storr, Quiraing, Fairy Glen, and Cuillin Mountains.
Departure from Inverness
This tour departs from Inverness city centre at 7.45am.

Eilean Donan Castle
Our first stop is at one of the world's most photographed castles and we are here (you guessed it!) to snap a photo, from an iconic viewpoint. We will spend around 10 minutes admiring the castle in its coastal location and, from here, we are just a few minutes' drive to the Skye Bridge. Please note that there is not enough time to go into the castle.

Cuillin Mountains
Explore the dramatic scenery of the Red and Black Cuillins and take in the awe-inspiring views. Close to the drop off point there is a historic bridge and monument to discover. For those who prefer to get off the beaten path you can join your guide for a walk. Alternatively, there are also stunning pools and waterfalls just a little further afield, which are worth a visit. We will spend around 1 hour at this wonderful location.

Portree
We will have a lunch stop in the cute coastal town of Portree. For those who have used our lunch pre-ordering service at the start of the day, this is your opportunity to collect your lunch, without having to wait around. We'd recommend taking a wander down to see the pretty pastel-coloured houses that hug the shoreline, or explore some of the village's unique independent shops. We have 45 minutes here.

Fairy Glen
The Fairy Glen is an intriguing, enchanting and other-worldy sight! Some say this landscape was formed by fairies. Others say it was formed by post-glacier landslides. Whichever version you choose to believe, the result is a bizarre yet delightful landscape of grassy, conical hills, craggy outcrops and windswept lochans. We will spend around 30 minutes here.

Old Man of Storr
As we drive north the scenery becomes increasingly dramatic. Soon it's time for our third hike of the day, to the base of the mighty Old Man of Storr, a jagged basalt rock which is said to be a giant's thumb! From the base of the Old Man of Storr there are fantastic views of the surrounding rock pinnacles. On a clear day you will also be rewarded with the striking outlines of the Red and Black Cuillins, and views out over the Sound of Raasay. We will spend around 1 3/4 hours here.

Quiraing
Our last stop is definitely one of the absolute highlights on Skye, instantly recognisable from films such as Stardust, Prometheus and others. The Quiraing is a series of landslips that have combined to form awe-inspiring scenery. We will spend around 40 minutes here, and you won't have to venture far from the mini-coach to find your very own slice of Skye wilderness.

The journey home

After a day of adventure you will be able to sit back and relax on the journey home, knowing that you have truly experienced the wonderful Isle of Skye. Rest assured that your guide will still have plenty of stories and music up his sleeve to keep you entertained on the way back. We will arrive back into Inverness at 9pm, with stories and memories to last a lifetime.
