Itinerary

We have partnered with our mates at The Sleat Community Trust to roll up our sleeves and embark on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Isle of Skye. Don your boots and get down and dirty to transform the Tormore Forest through tree planting, path building and repair. But don’t sweat it, it’s not all hard toil; you can expect stunning scenery, jaw dropping waterfalls, legendary stories, drinking drams and all-round guaranteed belly laughs. Think you can handle it?

Program zájezdu

Day 1

INVERNESS TO PORTREE

We depart Inverness and head west, driving through heart-dropping mountain scenery and along the legendary, world-famous Loch Ness, where you might just catch a glimpse of the almighty monster herself. As we venture into Glen Shiel, we soak in stories of historic battles once fought here. Eilean Donan Castle is up next, perched majestically on a sea loch island. Crossing The Skye Bridge, we learn about what makes the Isle of Skye so ‘mythical and mysterious’ and enjoy our legendary guide’s tales as we head to Portree, the island’s vibrant hub. Lunch at Portree fuels us for the journey ahead: it’s time to explore Skye! Get up close with Kilt Rock with its cascading waterfall, the mysterious rock formation Old Man of Storr, and the stunningly beautiful Quiraing. As the day winds down, we make for The Skye Inn, our cosy home for the coming four nights. The Skye Inn’s amazing team ensure a comfy and personal stay, making you feel right at home! (Overnight: Portree)

Day 2

PORTREE

After a hearty Scottish breakfast, we gallivant through the awesome Cuillin Mountain Range, hearing gruesome tales of Clan feuds and bloody warfare, before heading to Tormore Forest located in the most southerly part of Skye, the wild and rugged Sleat Peninsula. We don our boots and meet the local crew from the Sleat Community Trust who will explain what’s in store for the coming days – then it’s time to get our hands dirty! We enjoy a picnic lunch at our volunteer base before heading for a scenic walk by the infamous Fairy Pools, a series of crystal-clear waterfalls surrounded by the staggering peaks of the Cuillin Mountains. Lose yourself in your imagination as you hear the local myths and tales about the faerie folk. On our return to Portree in the evening, explore the shores of the harbour or cosy up by the fire and enjoy a dram with your fellow travellers, marvelling on an afternoon’s graft. (Overnight: Portree)

Day 3

PORTREE

Our adventure continues with a spectacular morning in the forest. In the afternoon, we immerse ourselves in local island culture and learn about the founding language of Scotland – Gaelic! Try your tongue at the spectacular National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture, Sabhal Mor Ostaig. Throw yourself into some basic phrases and try to converse like a true Scot with this legendary taster session. (Overnight: Portree)

Day 4

PORTREE

Today’s adventure sees this morning’s physical graft pay off with the afternoon spent soaking up the heart of Sleat’s hidden beaches and rugged coastlines. A wonder up the Southernmost point of Skye passes a wild and white sandy beach with crystal clear turquoise waters.; a spectacular spot for some Scottish grub. Heading to the lighthouse, we give our eyes a wee treat with epic views out to the small Isles of Rum, Canna and Eigg. Let that wild energy loose in the wide, open spaces. Journeying back home, we stop at local art galleries and quaint shops – perfect for your dose of wild Scottish souvenirs. (Overnight: Portree)

Day 5

PORTREE TO INVERNESS

Our morning spent getting our hands dirty with our volunteering project will be rewarded by hanging up our muddy boots, filling our bellies and heading for a well-earned dram at the Island distillery of Torabhaig, the second ever licenced Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery on the Isle of Skye. Take the tour* to discover how Scotland’s ‘water of life’ is made. Toast to hard work, new friends and making a difference – Slainte! The time has come to bid farewell to our newfound pals as we return to Inverness, knowing it’s more of a ‘see you later’ than a goodbye. What a cracking five days we’ve had! *optional, pay locally
