6 Day Select Holiday
Located thirty miles off the northwest coast of Scotland, on the edge of Europe, this distinctive chain of islands is one of Earth’s last untouched natural environments. Visitors can look forward to an unforgettable and unique holiday, from dipping their toes in powder white beaches to gazing in awe at 5000-year-old standing stones. Little wonder these remote isles feature in Wanderlust travel magazine’s top 100 greatest travel experiences. This sightseeing tour showcases the many facets of this paradise of pristine coastline and Atlantic waves, dark moorland and rugged mountains, amazing wildlife and rich culture. Our sightseeing adventure includes South Uist dominated by the towering mountain of Beinn Mhor, Benbecula with its magnificent beaches and the small island of Eriskay. We also enjoy a scenic drive on the Isle of Harris with its tiny hamlets and beautiful white sandy beaches contrasted by turquoise seas. Another gem is the port town of Stornoway, the main settlement on the Isle of Lewis as well as the largest town in the far-flung Outer Hebrides.
PLEASE NOTE: Price is per person and based on two people sharing a twin/double room. Single room supplements and upgrades are not included.

Guided Tour of the Isle of Lewis
Our treat today is the lovely Isle of Lewis, largest of the Outer Hebrides and home to Iron Age dwellings, old corn mills, Norse thatched buildings and ancient standing stones. The island’s Blackhouse crofting village features painstakingly restored dwellings recreating by-gone days.
Scenic Drive Through the Isle of Harris
We board our ferry to the Isle of Harris and travel along the west coast where you’ll be awestruck by the ever-changing terrain of mountains, lunar-like rocky plateaus, moorlands, meadows and pristine beaches.
Guided Tour of Benbecula, South Uist and Eriskay
Our local guide joins the coach to showcase the isles. Look forward to stunning vistas and stretches of white sandy beach flanked by dunes and flower filled machair. Landmarks include Cula Bay – the most popular beach on Benbecula, Ormacleit Castle – a ruined mansion dating from the early 18th century and the Kildonan Museum, showing the life and history of the islands.
