What To Expect

Fairy Pools

Our first stop will take us to the world-famous Fairy Pools. We aim to get her earlier than the crowds so that you can have a more enjoyable experience. These crystal-clear rock pools are fed and connected by a series of waterfalls, originating from the nearby Black Cuillin Mountains. We will allow around 90 minutes to explore the fairy pools. The initial walk is up hill and of moderate intensity, so this part of the trip will not be suitable for those with mobility issues. It will take around 15-20 minutes to walk to the first of the fairy pools from the carpark. There are more pools to explore further up the path.If you don’t feel that the fairy pool walk is for you, then our driver will take you to an alternative location not far away!

Sligachan Old Bridge

Our next stop on the Isle of Skye will take us to an area filled with folklore and natural beauty. Wash your face in the magical water at Sligachan bridge or simply marvel at the imposing Cuillin Mountain Ridge behind. We will also show you some of the best angles for getting an unbelievable photo. (That’s if the misty isle doesn’t live up to its name and swallow the mountains!)

Lealt Falls

Lealt Falls is a breathtaking stop that often surprises our guests. This dramatic waterfall tumbles from the hills into a deep gorge below, set against a backdrop of rugged cliffs and sweeping coastal views. A short walk from the car park leads to viewing platforms where you can take in the raw beauty of the falls and, on a clear day, catch glimpses of the sea beyond.

Kilt Rock

Kilt RockAs we head up the east coast of Skye, we will stop at the awe-inspiring Kilt Rock and Mealt falls. The magnificent 90 metre cliff resembles a traditional pleated kilt and is home to a spectacular waterfall fed by the nearby Mealt Loch. It really is a sight to behold!

Quiraing

We will next visit the spectacular Quiraing. You will have time to walk a little way on the path so you can truly immerse yourself in the breath-taking landscape around you. The Quiraing is the result of a series of landslips that occurred over the last 15,000 years, including the largest mass movement slide in Britain, which covers more than three square miles and is still active. Our guide will give you background on this magical place and then give you time to experience it for yourself.
