The best things to do on the Isle of Skye
Skye is a magical and captivating island, famed for its outstanding natural beauty, ancient mountains, abundant wildlife, rich clan history and local folklore. The largest of the Inner Hebrides, and accessible by both bridge and ferry, Skye is Scotland’s most popular island - and for good reason. Every winding road and walking trail reveals new sights, scenery and experiences. Skye is yours to discover.
Portree is Skye’s main town and central hub, making it a fantastic base to explore the island. The charming town centre is where you’ll find a selection of shops, eateries and amenities and a stroll down to the pretty harbour reveals colourful facades, bobbing moored boats and green-fringed hills in the background.
A location made famous by social media, these waterfalls and teal coloured pools sit against a backdrop of gnarly, black Cuillin mountains. We recommend visiting early in the morning or late in the day to avoid the crowds.
