One amazing day, the original Skye tour.
SkyeBus is the original Skye day tour. Every tour is packed with stories and legends that bring the history of Skye to life. You will learn about the people who came and claimed the land, to shape it into the island that you see today. From the first nomadic visitors to those islanders who were forced out of their homes in the 19th Century. You will also discover something of Skye's remarkable geological story and hear all about the latest dinosaur discoveries on Skye.
Our skye tour is the right mix of time on the bus, short photo stops and longer stops which allow you time to explore on your own. Around midday we stop at a small cafe. You can buy some lunch and have a wee blether with your fellow passengers.
