Six awesome days, the spectacular Highlands, likeminded travellers - an adventure you'll never forget!

Blow your mind! Re-awaken your spirit! Our spectacular 6 day adventure through the amazing West Coast, Highlands and Isle of Skye is perfect for those with a week who want to leave the big cities and the tourist hordes behind and get out there among some of the world's most diverse and fabulous scenery.

From the forbidding Glencoe, to the stunning Isle of Skye, and onto the far North West, come Compass Busting with us as we explore Scotland's awesome mountains and Lochs, rich history and beautiful Highland villages.

Meet the locals and immerse yourself in our culture as we discover ancient castles, blood stained battlefields, majestic mountains and much, much more! Wonder and enjoy as we take short treks amongst ancient forests, to the base of free flowing waterfalls and along shimmering silver beaches. Of course you'll want to see some of the most famous things too, so we'll go Monster Hunting by Loch Ness, taste some excellent whisky, cross the most expensive toll bridge in the world over the sea to Skye and even stay in a haunted Highland CASTLE!*

This is the most diverse backpacker's tour of Scotland and the most popular extended trip of its kind. Why? Well, not only do we bust the compass, we reach faraway places and stay in remote and amazing spots that other trips don't go near.

*During the winter months Ullapool will be subsituted for Carbisdale Castle as an overnight stop.
