Full description

Discover the magic of the Isle of Skye on this day trip from Portree. Travel aboard an airconditioned coach on this sightseeing adventure. Try to spot wildlife at Neist Point, or view the fantastical rock formations of Quiraing, and the stone pillar of Old Man of Storr,

Be picked up at a centrally-located meeting point in Portree and hop aboard the spacious pus. Relax on the drive to the Fairy Pools in the shadow of the Cuillin Mountains where the fairies are thought to bathe.

Have the chance to take a dip in crystal clear green pools of the River Brittle. Admire the natural arches and waterfalls in this picturesque location before heading to the Talisker distillery based in Carbost, one of the three whisky distilleries on the Isle of Skye.

Have free time to purchase a single malt Scotch, with a very distinctive peaty-smoky taste. Choose to go to Neist Point or to Dunvegan Castle. Look for whales, dolphins and sharks at Neist Point or capture pictures of the hilltop medieval style castle. Stop at the magnificent Fairy Glen, the most important meeting place of the fairies on Skye. Wander between countless conical mounds, known in the Highlands as Fairy Knowes, and put your ears to the grass to listen for the fairies at work inside. Bend down to search for elves in the glen's miniature forests. Follow the twisted path to the top of the fairy castle or walk the faun’s maze. Continue up to the Trotternish ridge and marvel at the views of the Quiraing, a landscape of rock formations and stunning coastal views. Continue to the 200-foot tall stone pillar called the Old Man of Storr which has been featured in many movies including the Ridley Scott epic 'Prometheus.'

We were extremely lucky with our weather. Even the guides don’t see the glory of Skye very often. Neist Lighthouse has mild wind and you could see for miles. We were on top of the world. Great stories-grateful they drove-worked patiently while herding tourists. We were blessed this day!

The day was beautiful! It was rainy and foggy, but it was Skye, so it was awesome. Our tour guide was Martin. He literally did not speak about anything until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't call him a guide, I would call him a driver. That was disappointing. I had done a day tour of Skye in 2019, so I kind of had an idea about things, but I had hoped that we would have a real tour guide. I will recommend Skye all day long, just not through this company,

Very nice group and lovely sights! There’s a lot to see so the driver did his best to give us time at each site but we didn’t have time for a sit down lunch. Also , if you are subject to motion sickness….? And we clocked almost six miles of walking. Still, I’d strongly recommend this as the best way to see as so much.
