Day by Day
Day 1
Arrive on Skye
Make your way to the Isle of Skye, and check in to your accommodation. Enjoy dinner at one of the excellent local restaurants, before getting a good night’s sleep before your first day of hiking tomorrow!
Day 2
Hiking at the Quiraing
Today you will head north to explore one of Skye’s most famous landmarks – the Quiraing. This extraordinary landscape feature is formed by a slow-motion landscape where half of the mountainside is frozen in the act of collapsing, and boasts some incredible rock formations – as well as amazing views!
Day 3
Hiking the Clearance Coast
Today you’ll explore the south of the island, hiking a circular route that visits a pair of abandoned villages on the coast. These villages – Boreraig and Suishnish – were brutally cleared of their residents during the Highland Clearances, and their remains are a haunting and poignant reminder of worse times amid what is now a wild and beautiful shoreline.
Day 4
Hiking on Raasay
Do something different today, taking a short ferry ride from Skye to the adjacent Isle of Raasay. Less visited than Skye but no less worthwhile, this amazing island boasts many fantastic hikes, fascinating history, and also a fantastic distillery!
Day 5
Departure
Check out from your accommodation this morning and say farewell to Skye as you begin your onward travel.
