Isle of Skye, Scotland

I did the Skye trail with them, it was a ridiculously awesome trip! Absolutely gorgeous scenery and landscapes. Everything was impeccably organised, our guide did an amazing job sorting out all the logistics and had a great ability to adapt and modify plans as required to suit the fickle western Scotland weather and maximise the enjoyment for everyone in the group. Food was good, chocolate bars were a nice and appreciated touch. I'm already planning my next trip. For anyone looking to get out of London and into the outdoors, this is a perfect way to do it.

The guide definitely knows what he is doing and that’s a good thing because safety is quite important. Their trips are always challenging compared to trips I’ve had with other groups. Whenever I feel like pushing myself to do more, they are always the option.

This has been the best experience of my life. A catalyst to challenge myself. Thanks for creating a sense of safety, to allow me to explore and push my limits. And all with a laugh and big smile! So much fun!

What sets our guide appart, other than being super friendly and truely loving his mountains, is the care he puts into logistics and adapting the itinerary to accomodate people, weather, and a dozen other parameters to make it ultimately the best possible option :) Far from the stereotype of the show off guide/alpinist , he adapts to all and make them feel comfortable, he's also very thoughtful in taking care of the group. Probably your best option to discover the UK mountains !

I wish I found them sooner! What a brilliant weekend. Will definitely be doing more
Samantha, Skye
Amazing adventures. Awesome experiences, Memories that will last forever. A brilliant and professional guide who can bring calmness to a stampede of wildebeests. Every trip is so well planned - just turn up and be taken away to your dreams!

This was my first hike with these guys, and what a great hike it was! I'm definitely sure this won't be my last. The whole hike was really well prepared, hassle free, and he was the most welcoming host. It's important for me to have a hike leader that knows what he's doing and He knows his stuff. If you're looking for a getaway from the city and enjoy the most beautiful natural landscapes then you came to the right place.

Arrive at Inverness airport/train station and transfer to Skye.
We begin our Skye adventure with a 17km coast-hugging hike to Flodigarry along the Skye’s most northerly point, Rubna Hunish. Dramatic sweeping cliffs make for a rocky hike with beautiful sea views and plenty an opportunity for a photo. Home for the night is Flodigarry where we’ll pitch up wild for the night.
A challenging climb kicks off the second day, offering views of the formidable rock formation known as The Quiraing and plenty of ridge traverses. Hard work is rewarded with spectacular views of the jagged landscapes around us and a good night’s rest in the wild at Trotternish Ridge.
The Skye Trail gives way to a fabulous cliff-top section above the sea, with views of the Storr to the north and the Cuillin to the south. Once we’ve reached Portree we’ll stock up on supplies and spend the night in a local bunkhouse… or more likely the pub that’s next door!
Spend the day hiking stage 4 of the trail - a jagged route that hugs the sparkling Loch Sligachan - or, for those with aching muscles, watch the stunning scenery of this leg go by in the comfort of the minibus. There’ll also be an opportunity to visit some of the island’s most beautiful attractions (Fairy pools, Talisker Distillery, Black Cullins etc). The afternoon will see the hikers head through a remote glen to a bay at Camasunary. Everyone will camp here for the night on the shore.
Great care is needed on today’s hike as we navigate up and down steep narrow paths along the cliffs. A shorter day distance-wise, but a technical and challenging leg. We’ll be rewarded by arriving at Elgol, where we can spend the afternoon relaxing in the village cafe or seafood restaurant.
A more straightforward leg today that winds through the meadows and fields. Excellent views towards Sleat as well as the opportunity, if the weather holds, to camp atop a beautiful clifftop with views over the bay.
More coastal views over the Atlantic make up our final day of hiking as we head towards the cleared villages of Suisnish and Boreraig, before heading inland on the Marble Line, an old railroad route into Broadford. Our trail ends here so celebrations are in order! We’ll check into our accommodation and spend the night toasting the week’s success with some drinks and a hearty meal.
Return to Inverness train station/airport filled with great memories and some epic Skye photos!

You'll need a moderate level of fitness for this one and be willing and able to walk the distances set out in the itinerary. Don't worry though, you don't need to be a super hiker. This will be the biggest hike every attempted for many on the trip. Keep in mind that you'll be carrying kit for wild camping too.
Yes, all our trips are for people of 18 years of age and older.
