Our mini shore excursions maximise your time ashore on the Isle of Skye with the minimum of fuss. Time to get your land legs back and explore Portree. Take time to write a postcard or shop in our local bookstore. Our tour departs from the centre of town and then you are off to explore Northern Skye's dramatic coastline. You criss cross the island over the pass that defines Skye, the Quiraing. No big coaches up there. Then back to Portree, time for lunch and a bit more exploring on your own.
