10 Days (9 Nights) on and around Skye - Scotland's Most Romantic Island The Isle of Skye is a paradise for walkers. We can help you have an unforgettable islandexperience, walking by quiet beaches, along remote cliff-tops, by deserted villages, or on a magnificentcoast to coast walk through the heart ofthe Cuillin mountains. On Skye, you will stay at Broadford and Portree. From each of these bases, you can go on a range of walks, choosing a walk each day to suit whatever you (or your legs) feel like. From Broadford, you can walk on the remote and unspoiled Suisnish peninsula, and get right in close to the steep sides of the Cuillin. There is even an option of starting one of the walks with a sea boat trip, visiting a seal colony and the picturesque Loch Coruisk, before setting off an a cross-island walk.
The best way to reach Skye is by boat. On this holiday, you stay at Morar on the mainland for a couple of days, getting your used to the more relaxed pace of the Highlands and Islands, and stretching your legs a bit on some fine local walks. Then we will take you to the nearby fishing port of Mallaig, from where you can approach Skye by boat, arriving at the southern village of Armadale, before heading by bus (using your bus pass) towards the Cuillin and the mountains of northern Skye. This is a typical itinerary. Itinerary
Make Tracks has a special arrangement with the bus company on Skye. So the cost of the holiday includes a free bus pass for all the time you are on the island. All the walks are manageable within times that will allow you to travel by bus to the start and from the finish. You can also use the bus pass to get around to do other things such as sightseeing or visiting the many other attractions on Skye. We will also advise on the back up service available in case you ever miss the last bus. You can stop in either Portree or Broadford first, but we may suggest one or the other as a starting point, depending on availability of accommodation, and on bus timetables (some services don't run on particular days, so we will try to arrange things to give you the maximum flexibility choice of walks at each location). At Morar, we transfer you to and from the startand finish of each walk by boat or by car.
Skye only Itinerary - 6 Nights You can also follow the Skye part of the itinerary without stopping off at Morar. It has been quicker to get to Skye by road (6 hours from Glasgow by bus) ever since the new bridge was opened. If you follow this option, Day 4 ofthe above itinerary becomes Day 1, and you can have a six night trip thereafter. We can also arrange just about any other variation to suit you, including additional stays on the islands of Rum and Eigg, and the remote Knoydart Peninsula. For more information about these options, see our Highland Lochs and Islands page. Contact us at any time on how best to combine stays on the different islands and the west highland mainland. |
