The Hebridean Island Hopper 2024The Hebridean Island Hopper – a journey through the western isles
Cycling on the Hebridean Islands and Atlantic Coast of Scotland is an unforgettable experience. Along the way, we support you with our customised van and experienced guides, ensuring that you have a fantastic cycling holiday.
We have a flexible approach to our trips which allows you time to take in the beautiful scenery and beaches and to opt for additional rides each day, if you wish. This itinerary is all about the experience: the wild landscapes, still dominated by neolithic sites; the Gaelic culture and the sense of history that oozes from every beach, loch and rock. In short, it is about the journey rather than the destination.
