About this tour
Discover the majesty of Skye, Iona, Orkney & the Outer Hebrides.
Your story begins...
Explore the extremes of north-west Europe’s last great wilderness when you journey through Scotland's Highlands and Islands. You hop across seven unforgettable West Coast islands steeped in Gaelic culture before you admire the prehistoric heritage of Orkney. Then you contrast the island way of life with the mysterious lochs, dramatic mountains and ancient castles dotted across the Highlands. Wash it all down with some bold whisky and fresh seafood as you chat to the locals in a cosy pub.
The Whiskies of Islay
On an island known as ‘The Queen of the Hebrides’, there’s a regal quality to the peaty style of its single malt whiskies.
Isle of Harris
Simply breathtaking. Miles of white sand and blue green waters will have you spellbound
Orkney Archipelago
The coasts of Orkney feature sandy beaches, jagged cliffs, and brilliant wildlife, largely untouched by civilisation.
Isle of Skye
Perhaps Scotland's best known island, but Skye has many stories to explore across its epic landscapes.
Loch Ness
This place needs no introduction. Soak in the majesty of this dark loch wrapped in a lingering sense of mystery.
Eilean Donan Castle
Iconic and gorgeous, this 13th-century castle that once warded off Viking invasions still stands proud.
Calanais Standing Stones
Standing among these stones, you feel the quiet power of a place shaped by mystery, ritual, and ancient legend. Opens late June ’26
Fingal's Cave
A unique marvel of mature, this island cave is comprised of naturally occurring hexagonal pillars from Paleocene lava flow, and hosts a puffin colony.
Laphroaig Distillery
Pronounced “la-froyg” this Islay distillery was founded in 1815 by members of Clan Donald and still produces many iconic spirits today.
