Sail to Stornoway - Early this morning, you’ll head to Ullapool to catch the ferry to Stornoway. After two and a half hours sailing, you’ll arrive in Stornoway and begin explorations of this pretty capital of Lewis and Harris. Check into the Cabarfeidh Hotel or the Caladh Inn Hotel, where dinner will be served this evening.

Included excursion to the Isle of Harris - Today, you'll head to Harris, with its high mountains and rocky coastline to the east, and its miles of unspoilt beaches washed by Atlantic waves on 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.

Included cruise of North Uist and Benbecula - Board a ferry in Leverburgh for a one-hour scenic sailing to Beneray. From here we'll drive and check into your next hotel.

Included tour of South Uist - This morning, join your local guide and cross the causeway to South Uist, the Western Isles' second largest island. Stunningly beautiful, the island is a stronghold of the Gaelic language. Here, the crofting industries of peat cutting and seaweed gathering are still an important part of everyday life. Visit the Kildonan Museum, which introduces the island's archaeology and history, and includes a collection of South Uist artefacts. You'll then cross the 1650m-long causeway to the idyllic island of Eriskay (just three miles by two), immortalised in Compton Mackenzie's bestselling novel 'Whisky Galore'.

Included visits to Dunvegan Castle, Portree and travel to Strathpeffer - Set sail this morning for the one-hour 30-minute crossing from Lochmaddy to Uig. After reaching the Isle of Skye, head towards Dunvegan Castle - stronghold of the chiefs of MacLeod for nearly 800 years, and said to be the oldest continuously occupied 'family home' in Scotland. Discover its fascinating history, and wander the beautiful formal gardens that lie hidden amid the surrounding moorland and mountains. Continue to explore Portree. Admire the dramatic scenery and delightful white and colour-washed buildings around the harbour, browse the shops, and find out about the local environment at the town's exhibition. With time permitting, take a break at famous Eilean Donan Castle on the shores of Loch Duich. After a photo opportunity, you'll head towards Strathpeffer for your final night’s stay in Scotland. Please note: The timings of today's ferry crossing may vary depending on departure date. In the event that the crossing is earlier in the day, and hence if guests are required to leave the hotel earlier in the morning, a packed breakfast will be provided. The ferry crossing for tours departing on the 24th April and 26 June 2025 will be at midday, meaning the rest of the day's excursion will take place on a slightly condensed schedule. In this instance, there will be a photo opportunity of Eilean Donan Castle rather than a visit. 

Fly back home - This morning, visit the turreted Brodie Castle, the ancestral home of the Brodie clan for over 400 years and a treasure trove of priceless antiques and artefacts. The castle building reflects the changing needs of the residents over the centuries – from the impenetrable 16th-century guard chamber to a sprawling Victorian extension with some magnificent rooms. A guided tour will help you make the very most of your visit. The beautiful grounds, which boast a dazzling display of daffodils in the spring, are also well worth exploring.  After your visit, you will journey back to the airport to catch your flight home.
