why go for an itinerary?
We know how important your holiday is to you, and we are aware that arranging the travel and accommodation for your Hebridean escape can be, in itself, quite a mission. Having got here, wouldn't it be nice to know that you have an itinerary to follow, that has been tailored just for you, by a very experienced local guide?
A quick google will show you many of the highlights of this amazing island, but people often don't realise until they get here, how big the island is, and there will be an awful lot of driving every day if you are going to see them all. So how do we prioritise?
With a tailored itinerary, we can ensure that you don't miss out on the experiences that will make your holiday into a fabulous personal adventure, forging memories that will last for ever.
Some are content to drive from beauty spot to beauty spot, taking photos as they go, but others want to delve deeper, interacting with the place and immersing themselves in it, having their eyes opened by the history, geology and the marine and terrestrial wildlife. If you are in the second category, we can design your holiday for you, and put you in touch with the people and places to engage, challenge, amaze and ultimately satisfy those adventurous dreams!

So what will the itinerary look like?
Having collected information on your interests and aspirations via our booking system, Kate will compile 6 days of walks, visits and other activities which will cover everything on your wish list. Each day will have a 'weather rating', so you can look at the forecast for your week and pick the best days to do the 'fine weather' days on your itinerary. Kate will ensure that as many as possible are 'all weather' days, so you won't be stuck for things to do if the weather is living up to its Outer Hebridean reputation!
Your itinerary will take into account where you are staying and your mode of transport. We can provide them for walkers, cyclists and campervanners, as well as motorists.
Kate will suggest some guided activities and experiences that fit with your aspirations, and provide links for you to book them, but essentially you will be provided with a self guided itinerary which you can pepper with booked experiences if you wish. Examples include: boat trips, wild swimming, horse riding, surfing, coasteering, or any Wild Harris experiences. We actively promote our fellow local providers, and your itinerary will entitle you to a 10% discount on any Wild Harris activity.
If you have a passion such as geology, or birds, marine life or archaeology, we can arrange for you to meet local experts in amazing locations (subject to their availability). Whatever your passion and motivation for coming to the island, please let us know, just in case we know the right person or place to really bring it to life for you!
