Select participants and date
The van waits outside your Skye hotel as a fine Atlantic rain sketches silver on the road. You load a duffel, the driver counts seats and maps a route that will thread the island’s volcanic ridges, cross the Skye Bridge, and run along lochs and glens until Inverness rises on the Highland horizon. This is not a tour of trails; it’s a moving corridor through Highland geology, clan history and coastal panoramas, condensed into a private four‑hour transfer that balances efficiency with a handful of photo stops.

Bring a power bank
Phones make the best cameras; a charger ensures you don’t miss shots during the drive.
Confirm cruise details if applicable
If arriving from a ship, provide docking, disembarkation and re‑boarding times at booking to avoid missed pickups.
