Sports and leisure activities Hebrides

This music school is open to everyone and offers courses in Gaelic singing, music and traditional dance. Immerse yourself in Celtic culture! If you wish, you can also ask for Gaelic courses; Mary is a proposal force and will answer your wishes.

The Whitewave centre organises a variety of activities in the north of the island. For half a day, you can choose from kayaking, rock climbing, abseiling and hiking, or archery. You can even try your hand at passing obstacles on an all-terrain skateboard with larger wheels, designed to be used on the grass and to pass obstacles. All ages and levels are accepted.

Skye Guides programs climbing or hiking trips of all levels with professional guides to survey the island safely. This is the ideal solution for all those who do not wish to venture alone on the summits. With them, you will be able to survey the Black Cuillin range in complete safety. Created in 1995, the company knows the island's trails and cliffs by heart. It favours personalized, attentive and small group guides, to respect the level and desires of each person. To each his own excursion!

The rather flat island lends itself very well to discovery on a two-wheeler. You can rent mountain bikes, road bikes or electrically assisted bikes, as well as luggage trailers or children's trailers. There is a wide choice of bike sizes, as well as helmets. Saddlebags can be booked if necessary, as well as extra lighting. We will advise you on the bike that suits you, but also on the routes to follow by bike, the rides to do (coastal roads, the trail of the three distilleries...), the places to visit.

Safari means observation, not slaughter of magnificent wild animals, of course! Loch Coruisk, the Cuillin, Trotternish and the Quiraing: all of them are to be discovered during guided hiking days, to discover the most beautiful landscapes of the island. Departures are from Portree and the small size of the groups (4-6) is a plus. The objective of your guides is simple: to take you off the beaten track and make you discover a secret and confidential Island of Skye. It is possible to make photo excursions with specialized photographers.

Whatever your age, your level or your desire for activities, Skye Adventure offers a wide range of possibilities: treks on the coast, in the gorges, in the mountains, on the Cuillin, climbing, canyoning, coastering, skills and orientation courses, as well as sessions adapted to families. Visit their website to choose and book. The activities are obviously done in complete safety and according to the level of the group, with qualified instructors and equipment (helmets, combishort, life jackets, etc.) provided to the participants.

Old Man of Storr is an iconic walk on the Isle of Skye. The trail, starting from the parking lot, takes you to the top of these strange geological shapes. Beware, it is not a loop and you will have to retrace your steps. It is necessary to count approximately 2h30 for this hike. The panorama that the monolith of the Old Man Storr offers you is breathtaking. It is recommended to do it in the morning to avoid the crowd that attracts this little gem. According to the legend, this 54 m high menhir would be the thumb of the giant that would protrude from the earth.

It is the second highest mountain in Mull, with a peak at 766 m. Any walker can conquer the first 550 m of altitude. Indeed, two communication antennas are served by an excellent trail that is easy to follow, even for those who would be put off by maps. Beware, there are no real parking spaces. The ascent to the second antenna requires good legs. The view over the whole east of Mull and the nearby coast is amazing. Beyond that and to reach Dun Da Ghaoithe, you'll need to be an experienced hiker.

The roof of Mull is the only Munro present on a Scottish island outside Skye. With a peak at 966 m altitude, it offers one of the most beautiful walks on the island and a breathtaking panorama. The simplest and most direct trail starts in Dhiseig, on the B8073, at a small car park. It climbs quite steeply, sometimes indistinctly through the rocky chaos, and the round trip is 10 km long (approx. 6 hours). Once up there, the whole island, the rest of the Hebrides and the west coast are open to you.

This other coastal wonder is a fossilized tree in the rock on the Ardmeanach Peninsula. It would have appeared 50 million years ago following an eruption of Ben More, which was then a volcano. The trail starts at Tiroran, a tiny place accessible from the B8035 at Killiemore. It then follows the coast westwards. Some parts are less passable than others, but the view of the cliffs is breathtaking and your final destination is well worth the detour. The area is protected by the National Trust of Scotland.
