Itinerary

Day 1Inverness - Arnol Blackhouse - Port of Ness - Butt of Lewis - Stornoway

You rise early to embark on a stunning journey through the heart of the Scottish Highlands, renowned for its dramatic and unspoiled landscapes. After leaving Inverness, the winding road takes us across vast, open moorlands dotted with heather and gorse, offering sweeping vistas of rolling hills and distant, rugged mountains. Lochs glisten in the valleys as you travel to Ullapool, a charming fishing village on the famous North Coast 500 route. Here, you’ll board the ferry for the next stage of your adventure.

We arrive in Stornoway, ready to explore this remote and unique island. We start at the Arnol Blackhouse, a restored 19th-century croft house that offers a glimpse into traditional farming life.

From there, we travel to Port of Ness, a sandy beach with crystal-clear waters and rolling dunes that invite you for a leisurely walk. The day concludes at the Butt of Lewis, the northernmost point of the island. Here, centuries of crashing waves have shaped rugged cliffs that offer breathtaking views of the open sea.

After experiencing the dramatic cliffs and the raw power of the Atlantic Ocean, we journey back through the Isle of Lewis to your overnight accommodation in Stornoway. The evening is yours to enjoy at your leisure. Will you sample the renowned local black pudding or take a relaxing stroll along the picturesque harbor? The choice is entirely yours.

Your overnight accommodation will be in Stornoway.

Day 2Stornoway - Luskentyre Beach - Tarbert - Stornoway

Today, the scenery becomes even more striking as we head to the Isle of Harris. The first thing that captures your attention is the towering mountains, rising dramatically from the landscape. As you wind through these natural marvels, your driver-guide will share the traditions and stories that bring this region to life. The morning includes time to explore the island, with a short break in Tarbert, a charming village nestled between the Isle of Lewis and Harris.

Next, we venture deeper into the wild beauty of Harris, stopping at Luskentyre Beach, frequently ranked among the most beautiful beaches in the world. Its powdery white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters are surrounded by rugged, unspoiled landscapes. Take a peaceful walk and soak in the natural beauty, marveling at the way the ever-changing light enhances the vibrant hues of the sea. It’s a perfect spot to experience the untamed beauty of the Outer Hebrides.

We stop for lunch in one of the villages, where you can enjoy local seafood and specialties. After the break, we continue exploring Harris, visiting stunning landmarks like St Clement’s Church, a 16th-century sanctuary set against a dramatic backdrop. Inside, intricate carvings and ancient tombs tell stories of devotion and the island’s enduring connection to its people. Back in Tarbert, we visit the Harris Gin Distillery to sample their award-winning gin, crafted with local botanicals. We then stop at the Clo Mòr Harris Tweed Centre, where you can learn about the heritage of this iconic handwoven fabric and browse their shop for unique pieces of Hebridean craftsmanship.

As we journey through the peat-rich moorlands and shimmering lochans back to Stornoway, keep an eye out for the legendary Hag of the Moors, a spirit of fierce weather believed to summon storms and test the endurance of travelers. Once back in Stornoway, spend the evening strolling along the scenic waterfront as the sun sets over the harbor. You can sample whisky in local bars or enjoy traditional Scottish and Gaelic music played by local musicians in one of the pubs.

Your overnight accommodation will be in Stornoway. (B)

Day 3Stornoway - Dun Carloway Broch - Bosta Beach - Inverness

We begin the day by traveling to Dun Carloway Broch, stepping back in time to explore this ancient site.

Perched on a hillside overlooking the Isle of Lewis, this Iron Age broch has stood for nearly 2,000 years, a testament to the skill and resilience of its builders. As you walk through its stone passageways and gaze across the sweeping landscape, you can almost hear the echoes of past inhabitants who sought shelter and community within its walls.

Next, we visit Bosta Beach on the tip of another island in the archipelago – Great Bernera. This stunning expanse of golden sands, framed by rolling dunes and crystal-clear waters, offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and quiet seclusion. As you walk along the shore, take in the views of the Atlantic and discover the remains of an Iron Age village that were revealed after a storm.

After two unforgettable days exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Lewis and Harris, we travel back to Stornoway to board the ferry. Bid farewell to these enchanting islands as we set sail across the scenic waters of the Minch to Ullapool.

Once back on the mainland in Ullapool, we journey through the rugged beauty of the Northwest Highlands, passing the shimmering waters of Loch Broom and craggy hills on our way to Inverness, the capital of the Highlands. (B)
