  • Where do we meet for the tour?

    We can pick you up from your accommodation anywhere on Skye, or at any place on the island you choose.  


    Depending on where we start, we can change the itinerary order to make the most of our time.


    Pick ups and drop offs that are a long distance away from the tour locations might mean a slightly shorter tour in order to fit everything in. 

  • What if the weather's really bad?

    We can hope for blue skies and sunshine but the weather can change quickly in the highlands. You should be prepared for a bit of everything and pack appropriate clothing and footwear.   We have a fantastic time on our tours in all sorts of conditions.


    The Met Office forecast for Skye is here   


    If the weather is really terrible, we can modify the tour, finding new activities, going to see waterfalls, or swapping outdoor activites for indoor museums and castles.  In winter it may be that some high roads are not passable so we may modify your tour accordingly.


    Very rarely, the weather or road conditions may be so bad that travel advisory warnings have been issued, in which case we may have to cancel your tour and you will be refunded.


    If you decide to cancel your tour because of bad weather then our standard cancellation policy applies.

  • What level of fitness do I need?

    Tours can be tailored to suit all abilities. 


    Most of our set tours involve walking, sometimes on uneven terrain and if you want to hike up the Storr or Quirang, it takes around 90 minutes and there are some steep sections.  The path to the fairy pools is well surfaced but steep in sections.


    There is lots to see without any strenuous walking and for anyone with mobility issues, there is plenty to see without even getting out of the car!

  • Can I create my own itinerary?

    All tours are flexible but if you would like a completly bespoke tour you can book our open itinery Skye tour.


    An open itinery tour includes a pre-tour chat with your guide by phone or email so you can let us know what exactly you what you want to do and see.  


    Your guide  can suggest places of interest you may not know about near your desired locations to build a day full of adevnture and excitement.  



  • How long is a day tour?

    Generally our tours last 7 hours but can be extended or shortened on request.  We usually pick up at 9.30am and drop you back off around 4.30pm.  

  • Can I book a multi-day tour?

    Yes of course, just get in touch and unless we are already booked, we can extend your tours for as many days as you want.


    You must arrange your own meals and accommodation during the period of a multi-day tour.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    If you wish to cancel a booking we require at least 48 hrs notice to cancel a tour for a full refund. Cancellation closer to the tour date will not be refunded.


    We strongly advise checking your insurance policy includes adequate cancellation cover in case of last minute emergencies. 


    On the very rare occasion that we have to cancel your tour and you are not able to accept an alternative date, you will be fully refunded.
