Skye & Fairy Pools: Epic Highlands Day Trip from Inverness

It was a lovely day on the beautiful Isle of Skye, but beware… the path to the Fairy Pools is not an easy one. There is a steep hill down and then you have to climb up the other side to reach the pools. It is totally worth it, but it could be challenging depending on your fitness level.

Graham was our our tour guide for the day - he was so fantastic!!! He kept us entertained on the longer portion of the drive, is so knowledgeable and fun, and was an excellent guide. I had high expectations going in, and they were exceeded!!

Peach was very knowledgeable. We got incredible views, and we were blessed by the fairies for beautiful weather!

Beautiful trip to Skye and the Fairy Pools!! Thank you, David, for all the interesting commentary during the drive.

This was a wonderful tour. We saw so many beautiful sites! Our guide Kieran was the best. He was a wealth of information and had a great playlist for our bus time!

A highlight of our UK trip so far. Thanks to Stephen from Inverness for being a great driver in such stormy weather and helping us get the most out of it!

If you are fortunate to have a sunny day this excursion to Loch Nesd and the Isle of Skye cannot be beat. Our tour guide and driver, David, was very knowledgeable and took us to some interesting places and experiences. Just a fantastic way to spend a day in the Highlands.

Great experience getting a tour of the Isle of Skye. Our tour guide, David, was amazing, so informative and engaging, but also gave us plenty of alone time to explore. Highly recommend!

David was a great tour guide, both funny and informative. He told us lots of history and stories about the areas we drove through. The Fairy Pools are absolutely gorgeous, even in the rain. Please note it's a strenuous hike. Wear appropriate shoes and dress for the weather. I do think that we could have used more time almost everywhere. At the Fairy Pools, I walked briskly and still didn't get as far down the hiking path was was possible, and I got back to the van right at the time we were supposed to leave. We also could have used more time for lunch, to see Portree and check out the shops. And at Eilean Donan Castle, again, there wasn't time to get a snack or peruse the shop. We had to leave the castle quickly and cut out some of the rooms because we realized the bus would be leaving in five minutes. My only other negative is that we really needed a "comfort stop" added at the end of the day. Two and a half hours is a long stretch to go without a bathroom break. Thank you, David, for a great day!

Had a wonderful day on the Isle of Skye! Our guide was amazing, informative and a great resource to all of us, despite some unplanned interruptions.
