See Mull & Skye Differently
One of the many spectacular driving routes on the Isle of Skye
Two of Scotland’s finest islands, plus mystical Iona and atmospheric Raasay, seen from a less-travelled perspective on this unique self-drive tour.
Despite their easy access via short ferry crossing (or via bridge to Skye), to step ashore both the isles of Mull and Skye is to enter two little worlds all their own, each with a distinct character and feel. Both offer the perfect opportunity to get under the skin of Scottish island culture.
We’ve lost count of the number of times we’ve visited each island, travelling their length and breadth uncovering hidden corners, paths trodden by fewer, and the most welcoming accommodation. This self-drive tour curates all of that experience, plus side trips to neighbouring isles of Iona and Raasay, in a very special eight-night odyssey, incorporating wildlife, whisky, world-class walking and an exhilarating private RiB trip.
This holiday includes stays in Fionnphort and Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, and the Sleat Peninsula and Edinbane on the Isle of Skye.
£1895 per person in April & October and £1995 from May to September.
Price is based on two adults sharing en-suite accommodation at the specially chosen selection of small hotels and guests houses we use. Ferry crossings to Mull, Ardnamurchan, Skye & Raasay for a car and two passengers are also included, as well as a small-group boat trip to Staffa from Iona, a wildlife safari as part of a small group on Mull, and a private RiB trip from south Skye. Ferry crossings to Iona are also included but please note this is only as foot passengers because visitor cars are not permitted on the island.
We would be delighted to facilitate travel to and from Scotland from your chosen start and end points, as well as car rental should you require it.
