From Inverness: 1-day Inverness to Skye

Tour ID: 1208 Scheduled group Inverness 1 Day - 11 hrs 45min

Description

This one-day adventure takes you thorough some of Scotland's most iconic scenery. We will first travel via the beautiful Black Isle to reach the Isle of Skye. You'll then experience the very best that this magical place has to offer. Returning past Eilean Donan Castle and Loch Ness

Our one-day adventure begins with a quick visit to Loch Ness. The dark waters of this loch carry Scotland's greatest unsolved mystery, making it one of our biggest tourist attractions! Join us now in our monster spotting as we drive along the shore of Loch Ness. We will also stop to get views of the ruined Urquhart Castle, perched on the loch’s edge, before we travel through the stunning Glen Shiel, you'll spot the 5 sisters and hear of the epic battle that took place here long ago.

Eilean Donan Castle is one of Scotland's most picturesque castles and is perched on its own island at the head of Loch Duich. You will have enough time here to tour the castle inside and out. Next, you’ll cross onto the little island of Eilean Ban, where Gavin Maxwell, the author of the Ring of Bright Water, lived for some time while studying otters and other local wildlife. 

Your tour of this magical island takes in the stunningly beautiful sight of the Cuillin Hills and the Sligachan Bridge on the road to Portree, the capital of Skye. This will be your lunch-time stop, where you can enjoy fish and chips in the colourful harbour - just watch out for the seagulls! 

It is the most northerly of Skye's peninsulas and it contains some of the most striking landscapes in Scotland. Here we will stop for photographs at The Kilt Rock, Mealt Waterfall and The Old Man of Storr. We will also stop to view the incredible Quirang.

Following part of the North Coast 500 we make our way back to Inverness. This will take us past some final stunning scenery. You'll see Loch Carron and the Black Isle before crossing the Kessock Bridge into Inverness.

*Optional Extra Subject to Availability.

An Afternoon on the Tour to Magical Isle of Skye!
