2. Tour-Taking
Here’s another option if you’re short on time (or short on energy).
The Isle of Skye is much bigger than most people realize, and ticking off all the big spots can be a challenge (especially if you don’t have access to a car).
But if you tackle a guided tour, you can see the best of the island’s outdoor areas in a short-but-jam-packed period. Good tours are convenient and comfortable… and best of all, they can organize pickup from various different bases.
This one-day tour starts and ends in Portree (perfect if you’re staying on the island’s little capital), and it’s affordable and popular.
It covers the Fairy Pools, the Quiraing, Neist Point, Dunvegan Castle, the Fairy Glen, and Kilt Rock.
This full-day tour starts and ends in Inverness, and covers many of the same attractions.
And for something even more convenient and exciting, this 3-day adventure starts and ends in Edinburgh, and covers the Isle of Skye, and some parts of the Highlands. Absolutely brimming with loads of Scottish highlights, it includes castles, coasts, viaducts, valleys, National Park territory, and plenty more. They also take you to film locations used in Outlander, James Bond, Game of Thrones, and Harry Potter.
If you’re overnighting in Edinburgh, you won’t find better than this. The risk is that they might sell out fast, so check out this link for more details and for booking this tour if you like it (I highly recommend it myself).
⭐ Best time to take a tour: Spring or fall, when the island is a little less busy
