Two nights at Loch Ness with cruise option and a full day exploring Isle of Skye.

About this experience

An Isle of Skye tour from Edinburgh that’s shaped as much by the in-between moments as the landmarks. Travel through Glen Coe, pause at Eilean Donan Castle, and continue to the Isle of Skye, where rugged coastlines and old legends shape your journey. Along the way, a walk through a Perthshire forest gives you a quieter stretch to break up the journey.

The trip includes two nights at Loch Ness, with the option to head out on an evening cruise – a chance to see the loch once the day visitors have moved on and a quieter feel returns to the shoreline.
