See the highlights of Skye and Lewis and Harris including the Callanish Standing Stones, Portree and the Butt of Lewis

Join us on a discovery of Scotland's Western Isles and explore the unspoilt sands of vast beaches, rugged mountains and moorlands rich in flora and fauna, and villages with a pace of life long forgotten on the mainland.

Your Hebridean adventure begins on the Isle of Skye, where you'll visit Dunvegan Castle, the stronghold of the chiefs of MacLeod, and Portree, with its colourful houses on the harbourfront.

Next stop is Lewis and Harris, where you'll discover fascinating archaeological monuments like the ancient Calanais Standing Stones and the carefully preserved Carloway Broch.

You'll also visit the Butt of Lewis, which is named the windiest place in the UK by the Guinness Book of Records, where you'll enjoy views of a rocky coastline and a grand lighthouse looking out across the Atlantic.

Throughout your trip you'll be staying in well-located hotels, all of which will be three-star and with cosy, comfortable bedrooms.

Itinerary

  1. Day
    1
    Arrival
    Strathpeffer, United Kingdom

    Fly to Scotland, meet your friendly, experienced tour manager, and head further into the Highlands for your first hotel.

  2. Day
    2
    Island tour and Dunvegan Castle
    Isle of Skye, United Kingdom

    After breakfast at your hotel, you'll set off on a tour of the Isle of Skye. You'll pass by the famous Cuillin Hills mountain range, where jagged peaks are often obscured by a veil of mist, as you make your way to Dunvegan Castle.

    This castle was the stronghold of the chiefs of MacLeod for nearly 800 years, and is said to be the oldest continuously occupied family home in Scotland. The castle is steeped in rich history which you'll discover as you visit.

    Later in the afternoon, you'll head into Skye's main town, Portree, where you'll see its delightful pastel-coloured houses around the harbourfront, set against a backdrop of dramatic scenery.

  3. Day
    3
    Sail to Stornoway
    Stornoway, United Kingdom

    Following an early breakfast this morning, you'll transfer to Ullapool, where you'll catch the ferry to Stornoway.

    You'll be sailing for around two and a half hours before arriving in Stornoway and exploring the pretty capital of Lewis and Harris, with its dramatic landscapes and unique Gaelic culture.

    Later on, you'll check into your next hotel, the cosy Cabarfeidh Hotel where dinner will be served this evening.

  4. Day
    4
    Harris and Lewis
    Lewis and Harris, Scotland, United Kingdom

    You'll head to Harris today, with its towering mountains and rugged coastline to the east, and its miles of pristine beaches lapped by Atlantic waves to the west.

    Your first stop will be Rodel Church, perhaps the grandest medieval building in the Western Isles. After time to explore the little port of Tarbet, you'll continue on a short walk from the road (over fairly rough ground) to the exceptionally well-preserved Carloway Broch, a circular dry-stone fortified tower dating back some 2000 years. As you pass through the island's rugged landscapes keep an eye out for the ancient standing stones which dot the surrounding countryside.

    Moving on, you'll visit the Gearrannan Blackhouse Village with its typical crofting buildings which give a fascinating insight into the lives and resourcefulness of the islands' inhabitants.

    Finish the day with a visit to the magnificent Calanais Stones, said to be over 5,000 years old, where you'll learn about the history and mysticism of these ancient monoliths. The site's visitor centre is currently under renovation and is scheduled to be reopened in June 2026.

  5. Day
    5
    Day at leisure
    Lewis and Harris, Scotland, United Kingdom

    Enjoy a leisurely morning, with breakfast at your hotel, ahead of a full day under your own steam to further explore the picturesque isles of Lewis and Harris.

    For a more structured day, why not head into the heart of charming Stornoway for a fascinating few hours' exploration, or embrace Hebridean creativity with a visit to the An Lanntair Art Centre? You can also find a number of delightful coastal walks nearby which are perfect for a more relaxing day's activity.

    However you choose to spend your day, reconvene this at the hotel for dinner.

Hold on to your hat - this is the windiest place in the UK, according to the Guiness Books of Records.

    You'll set sail in the early afternoon for the two-hour 30-minute crossing to Ullapool then follow a wonderfully scenic route through Wester Ross into the Highlands for your final hotel.
