• Loch Ness - As Inverness fades into the distance, the renowned waters of Loch Ness come into view. The tour will follow the shoreline as the guide shares the legend—stories of sightings, scientific insights, and a touch of whimsy—keeping an eye out for her!

• Eilean Donan Castle - The first stop is at the world-famous Eilean Donan Castle, known globally from its appearances in numerous films and countless Scottish souvenirs! A stop at a preferred vantage point allows for photos and admiration of this iconic site in its stunning coastal setting. Please note, visiting the castle itself is not possible.

• Portree - Upon arrival in Portree, head to the harbour viewpoint for views of pastel-colored houses and a sweeping bay. Explore unique local shops, cozy cafés, and charming harbourfront lanes; 45 minutes here will pass quickly. Feeling hungry? Enjoy a freshly baked lunch or a delicious takeaway to refuel like a local. (For those who pre-booked lunch in the morning, it will be collected here and delivered on the mini-coach, saving valuable sightseeing time).

• Kilt Rock - Kilt Rock is a striking sea cliff resembling a traditional Highland kilt, consistently impressing visitors. It features a waterfall that plunges 60ft (180m) into the Sound of Raasay below—a truly unique sight, especially when the wind blows the waterfall back up the cliff!

• The Old Man of Storr - Heading north, a stop at a loch-side viewpoint offers the first glimpse of the Old Man of Storr—a remarkable 50-metre pinnacle rising from the dramatic Trotternish Ridge. This iconic landscape may be familiar from films such as 47 Ronin, Macbeth, Snow White and the Huntsman, Prometheus, and The BFG.

• Fairy Pools - There is time to explore this beautiful series of pools and waterfalls. The scenic path to the first pool is a gentle uphill walk taking about 20 minutes (0.7 miles), with the most impressive waterfall just 5 minutes further (0.9 miles in total). Most guests linger here, with the Cuillin Mountains providing a stunning backdrop to the crystal-clear water of the pools. Regardless of the weather, photo opportunities abound!

Please note: the round-trip walk is approximately 1.5 miles and takes about 40 minutes, requiring a moderate level of fitness.

• Skye Bridge - After enjoying Skye’s highlights, the journey crosses back over the bridge and heads east, weaving through mountains and picturesque glens. As the scenery unfolds, the guide shares the Highlands’ darker history—the violent upheavals that emptied once-thriving communities, leaving these glens hauntingly silent.
• Urquhart Castle - The day concludes on a high note—literally. Overlook Urquhart Castle, dramatically perched on a peninsula jutting into Loch Ness—a fitting finale to a day of breathtaking sights on Skye.
