Combine your North Coast 500 journey with time on the majestic Isle of Skye — a place of dramatic coastlines, quiet corners, and ever-changing light.

This carefully crafted three-day introduction to Skye allows you to experience some of the island’s most memorable landscapes at a relaxed and comfortable pace, before continuing north on the North Coast 500.

Day 1 - Inverness to the Sleat Peninsula, south Skye

Travel to Skye from Inverness via Loch Ness and The Great Glen, then west through Kintail and over the glorious Man Rattagan mountain pass to Glenelg. Here, we’ll visit the curious Glenelg brochs before taking the magical wee ferry Over the Sea to Skye! We’ll spend the afternoon exploring the Sleat Peninsula; ‘the Garden of Skye’.

Day 2 - A full day on Skye.

Would you like to take a wildlife cruise? A spectacular voyage from Elgol on Skye’s wild west coast. This can be combined with a beautiful low level walk around Loch Coruisk, one of Skye’s most remote lochs.

AND/OR a spectacular day (or half day) exploring many of Skye’s famous treasures, and maybe one or two secrets. Enjoy a tall tale or two along the way too…

Day 3 - North Skye to the mainland via The Skye Bridge

Our third day on Skye will be spent touring the island’s famous Trotternish Peninsula.

There are opportunities for some gentle, but spectacular low level walks at some of Skye’s most iconic landmarks;

We’ll then head off, over The Skye Bridge to join the NC500 at Lochcarron or, if you prefer, we can head back to Inverness for a restful night before beginning our NC500 tour the following day.

Suitable for up to seven people, travelling in our comfortable premium vehicle, this is a three day tour. Pick-up  will be from your Inverness (or nearby) accommodation and this add-on to the NC500 tour costs £2400 (including all taxes and driver expenses) for the Isle of Skye section. Please note that entry fees for any attractions / visitor experiences are not included. Accommodation will also be organised separately – we are very happy to help with this.
