Cyclists can enjoy a full day ride on The Uists or for the less active there is guided island tour with lunch ashore. Cycle from East Loch Tarbert to Stornoway or tour the island and visit Lews Castle Museum.
Discover the dramatic Trotternish Peninsula on a scenic excursion or cycle to Portree before sailing to Raasay for an afternoon cycling or a visit to Raasay House. Return to Skye for a final cycle along the Sleat Peninsula or a trip to the Museum of the Isles to learn more about the Clan Donald.
