Cruise Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Oban roundtrip aboard Hebridean Princess.
Walking interest cruise.
For the final Footloose adventure of the year, travel to the far north west corner of the Scottish Highlands. Wild and remote, this is a land of rugged mountains and glacial lochs where deer are more numerous than humans, truly a walkers paradise.
Stroll through the vast nature reserve that is the Isle of Rum before making landfall on the Isle of Skye. The majestic, cauldron-like Loch Coruisk is surrounded by the jagged peaks of the Black Cuillin mountains and offers a dramatic backdrop for your afternoon walks. Cruising Kyle Rhea and the Inner Sound to Raasay, the 'Isle of Roe Deer' is perfect for an invigorating amble, or to visit Raasay House and enjoy a tour and tasting at the island's first legal distillery. North to Gairloch to enjoy a morning at Gairloch Heritage Museum and an afternoon at Inverewe Garden, or join your walking guides for a full day ramble before re- joining the ship at Loch Ewe. At Ullapool, stride out for a full day walking through breathtaking scenery, or wonder at the spectacular box canyon of Corrieshalloch Gorge and discover the awe- inspiring scale of Scotland's geological history at the Knockan Crag Nature Reserve. Stride out from scenic Shieldaig, along the shores of Loch Torridon to the headland, or stroll around the village that sits in the shelter of towering beinns. Returning to Skye, explore the woodland trails and 40 acre gardens which surround the gothic ruins of Armadale Castle. Reflect on your voyage as you cruise the Small Isles and the Sound of Mull on passage to Oban.
