Bespoke Isle of Skye One Day Private Tour - Choose Your Own Adventure!

8 hours

Easy

Build Your Own Flexible Tour Itinerary

A fully flexible, full day itinerary with a knowledgeable local guide.  

We will chat to you by phone or email before your tour so you can tell us your interests and any particular things you want to see. We will build a bespoke full day private tour itinerary just for you and your group (max 4), tailored to your interests.  

We can suggest locations to beat the crowds and see a quieter side of the island or we can guide you to the most popular locations.  

You're in charge!

We can also do a weather check on the day and make any last minute adjustments.


A small sample of activities to choose from:

  • Boat trips from Portree, Carbost and Elgol, which can be booked in advance with the rest of the day arranged around them.  
  • Local arts and crafts trail while traveling around the island.
  • Eat lunch at a local restaurant, or visit the island's oldest pub the Stein Inn, which has great seafood. These would have to be booked well in advance but we can absolutely help.  There are also many food trucks and places like the Oyster Shed in Carbost, which has reasonably priced seafood with a great view of the Cuillin.
  • Day Hikes to Camasunary Bay,  Brothers Point or a huge choice of walking adventures to lesser known areas with magnificent views (we can't take you up the Cuillin mountains as this requires specialist guiding)
  • Walk to the most northerly tip of Skye at Rubha Hunish and look for sea eagles, whales and dolphins from the clifftop look out
  • Iconic locations The Old Man of Storr, The Quirang, The Fairy Pools, Fairy Glen
  • Wild Coastal Scenery at Talisker Bay or Neist Point
  • Castles such as Dunvegan Castle, Armadale Castle, Duntulm Castle 
  • Distilleries Talisker, Torabhaig Distillery, Isle of Raasay Distillery
  • Beaches Coral Beach, Glenbrittle Beach, Talisker Beach
  • Historic sites such as Glenelg Brochs (we get there on the worlds only working turn-table car ferry!), Iron Age Duns and Ancient Churches, Flora MacDonalds grave, St Columba's Isle
  • Museums Staffin Dinosaur Museum, Museum of Island Life, Armadale Castle Museum and Gardens
  • Experience Jurassic Skye and search for Dinosaur Footprints and Fossils
