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.

5.00The quality of the experience mostly came down to the Anne, the wonderful driver/tour guide for our group. As a native, she gave us insights to work, church, culture and living cooperatively on the Isle. Some of her stories were incredibly colorful. If we had not been on her tour, we would have left without really knowing Isle of Skye. She was very flexible and adaptive to the needs of the group. The tour ended up being so much more than we could have hoped. Anne, our tour guide/driver was a native Isle crofter who gave us tremendous insights to work life, church, culture, and living cooperatively in this unique society. Some of her stories were funny and all were incredibly rich and colorful. If we had toured this Isle on our own, we would have left not really knowing the Isle. Anne was adaptive to the needs of the group and flexible. The tour was far more that we had expected.

5.00Lovely tour out of Portree with lots of stunning vistas to take in. We ended up seeing a few eagles and had a curious seal pop up in our path. Captain was knowledgable about the landscapes and helped us make sure we could spot the birds. Free binoculars to use if you were so inclined. For myself my original tour time was cancelled due to lack of participants but I stuck around for the next one. I was offered a full refund if I decided not to participate. I am glad I took the later boat though. Overall a really fun experience, especially as a solo traveller. The Captain came about to check in on me several time and make sure I wasn't missing out which was welcome.
