Description

Explore Scotland's idyllic west coast and the isles of Skye, Mull and Iona. Enjoy Loch Lomond, Tobermory, Fingal's Cave, and, if you're lucky, puffins! Spot wildlife, visit Glen Coe, and taste whisky!
Day 1
We start our small group tour journey from Edinburgh, heading west past Stirling towards the picturesque Loch Lomond. Capture stunning photos at the Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint and enjoy lunch and free time in the charming town of Inveraray. Visit the historic Dunadd Fort before making our way to the lively port town of Oban.

Day 2
We travel across the rugged terrain of Mull to reach the serene Isle of Iona, known as the sacred heart of Scotland. Enjoy ample free time to have lunch, visit Iona Abbey, and stroll along the white sand beaches. Then on to Tobermory, our home for the next two nights.

Day 3
Following breakfast, we embark on a cruise to the Treshnish Isles and Staffa. Relax on a water adventure around the Treshnish Isles, keeping watch for dolphins, seals, eagles, and whales with insights from our wildlife guide. Spend time spotting puffin* colonies nestled in burrows amid wildflowers. Learn about the giants and geology of the area as we sail to Staffa and marvel at Fingal’s Cave. The round the day off you'll visit Tobermory Distillery, a small batch distillery that produces both whisky and gin.

Day 4
Today, we head for the world-famous Isle of Skye. Take a ferry from Tobermory to Kilchoan on the wild Ardnamurchan Peninsula, then travel through stunning Highland landscapes with stops at an ancient oak woodland and a picturesque village. Reach the fishing town of Mallaig in time for lunch before boarding the ferry to Skye, known as the "Misty Isle". Once on the island, enjoy the scenic drive through the Sleat Peninsula, with incredible views of the Cuillin Mountains, before arriving in Portree, Skye’s colourful harbour town and island capital.

Day 5
Discover the magic of the Isle of Skye as you explore the dramatic Trotternish Peninsula. Visit iconic sights including the Old Man of Storr, Lealt Falls, and Kilt Rock, before touring historic Dunvegan Castle (optional), home of Clan MacLeod. Take in stunning views of the majestic Cuillin Mountains before returning to Portree, Skye’s colourful harbour town and lively island capital.

Day 6
Say goodbye to the Isle of Skye as you journey back through the spectacular Scottish Highlands. Stop for photos at the iconic Eilean Donan Castle, perched where three sea lochs meet, before travelling through the dramatic landscapes of Glen Coe, one of Scotland’s most famous glens. Continue through rugged mountain scenery, pause at the shores of Loch Earn, and arrive back in Edinburgh in the evening, bringing your Highland adventure to a close.


*The puffin breeding season usually takes place between late April to mid-August. Puffin encounters cannot be guaranteed.
