Experience the Isle of Skye in complete luxury with our private full-day expedition in a Mercedes-Benz V Class. Customize your tour to suit your interests and visit both well-known and hidden gems on the island.
- Loch Ness Region - Departing from Inverness, you’ll drive along the renowned Loch Ness, pausing at the iconic Urquhart Castle to admire the stunning views of Loch Ness. Then, continue on our journey to the Isle of Skye, with numerous other breathtaking vistas along the way. The further west we travel, the more spectacular the scenery becomes—this is just the beginning!
- Loch Cluanie - Traveling through Glen Moriston, we’ll arrive at Loch Cluanie, a remarkable man-made loch offering views of the Five Sisters of Kintail. We then proceed through the magnificent Glen Shiel towards Eilean Donan Castle.
- Shiel Bridge - As we navigate the winding paths of Glen Shiel, we’ll enjoy the awe-inspiring views while sharing the history of the Battle of Glen Shiel, which occurred here in 1719. Though not widely known, it was a significant event in Highland history.
- Eilean Donan Castle - Our next stop is the world-famous Eilean Donan Castle, one of Scotland’s most photographed castles. Situated on a small island where Loch Alsh, Loch Duich, and Loch Long converge, you can cross the bridge to the castle and explore its interior if you wish. There are two different admission fees: one for crossing the bridge and another for accessing the castle’s interior. After spending about an hour here, we’ll head to the Isle of Skye.
