Welcome to Scotland
Our mission at Skinny Tyres is to introduce you to the best road cycling routes in Scotland. From the saddle, you will get a chance to ride alongside beautiful beaches with Atlantic waves crashing onto the sand and into wild mountains sculpted by millennia of tectonic forces, glaciers and ice sheets, landslides, frost, wind, and rivers. Our unique level of support with our fully customised vans means you can pedal at your own pace and expect the highest level of support.

The Hebridean Island Hopper allows you to cycle on some of the best roads in the Hebridean islands. Using seven ferries to link our cycling journey we will travel 370 miles from Mull to the Isle of Skye, then across to North Uist and down through the Outer Hebrides. We will cycle over famous passes such as the Quiraing on Skye and the Bealach mam Ratagan. Our flexible approach to support allows you to ride at your own pace and add in extra options if you wish.

The Hebridean Island Hopper 2024Skinny Tyres guided cycle tours of the west coast of Scotland and the Hebridean Islands
Cycling on the Hebridean Islands and Atlantic Coast of Scotland is an amazing experience. Along the way, we will support you with our customised van and experienced guides, ensuring that you have an amazing cycling holiday.
Our flexible approach to our trips allows you time to take in the beautiful beaches and scenery and if you want, to add in additional rides each day. This ride is all about the experience: the wild landscapes, still dominated by neolithic sites; the journey, rather than the destination; the Gaelic culture and the sense of history that oozes from every rock, beach and loch.
