Day 1 - Oban

Overnight in Oban, the beautiful hub of the Southern Hebrides.

Day 2 & 3 - Isle of Barra

Your ferry departs from Oban bound for your first Hebridean destination, the Isle of Barra. The most southerly of the inhabited islands in the Outer Hebrides, you will arrive at the Island's Capital, Castlebay. Long famed for its beauty, boasting beaches, hills, machair and moor, Barra is a special place to visit - especially if you arrive by plane!

The airport is one of the most unusual in the world, with flights landing on the beach at Cockle Strand in between tides. Walk along glorious beaches, cycle around the island and visit Kismuil Castle, ancestral home of Clan MacNeil which eerily stands guard over Castlebay harbour. Barra can take your breath away with its colour, peace and beauty.

.Day 4 & 5 - North Uist

Hop on the ferry to Eriskay and travel north by road through the spectacular scenery of the Uists and Benbecula to your second destination in these beautiful islands.

North Uist is a remarkable island partially covered with a mixture of sea and freshwater lochs, sparkling into brilliance when the sun shines. From here you have access to Benbecula, Berneray and South Uist - ideal for walking, kayaking and wildlife-watching. During stormy seas a natural water spout sprays seawater into the air at Tigharry, and with views across to the Monach Islands where some 9000 seals are born every year, North Uist is a reminder of the unpredictable and beautiful forces of nature.

Day 6 & 7 - Isles of Harris & Lewis

Your final destination in the Hebrides is the Isle of Harris.

This is an island ready to exceed all expectations. Explore the lunar landscape of the Harris Hills & discover castles standing guard over deserted bays. Take a tranquil journey through time surrounded by some of the most beautiful beaches imaginable. The Islands of Harris and Lewis offer unrivalled opportunities for hillwalkers, birdwatchers and wildlife-lovers. The archaeological treasures, notably the eerie Standing Stones of Callanish and several blackhouse villages are a wonderful day trip.
