What To Expect
Fairy Pools
We start on our journey with a drive to the Fairy Pools in the shadow of the Cuillin Mountains. The pools are located in one of the most dramatic landscapes on Skye. The fairies regularly bathe here, in the crystal clear green pools of the River Brittle. Weather permitting, you can swim in the pools of the river, one of the UK’s best wild swimming spots. Have fun diving under natural arches and waterfalls, but please do not spy on the fairies, as they can easily take offence!
Talisker Distillery
Talisker distillery based in Carbost is one of the three whisky distillery on the Isle of Skye. The whisky is a single malt Scotch, with a very distinctive peaty-smoky taste. We shall go through the visitor centre (not on the tour) and if available sample one of the fine whiskys produced here.

Smaller group than one of the large tours with plenty of stops to use the restroom / sightsee. Perfect way to see most of Skye in a day.
