Day 1 - Arrive Hebrides
The moment you touch down in the Outer Hebrides you know you have arrived somewhere special. The flight in takes you over what has been described as " a drowned landscape" where it appears there is more water than land. We make our way over man-made causeways that seem to float on the turquoise ocean as we make our way to our accommodation for check-in. After you have got refreshed we take a wander into the moorlands to visit an ancient stone circle before heading to an impressive Neolithic burial chamber that dates back to 3500 BC. We take in the views and the pure air as we welcome you to the Outer Hebrides. We make our way back to our accommodation where you can dine on wonderful Hebridean produce.

the West beach on Berneray is otherworldly in terms of its beauty. I don't think I have ever been to a beach anywhere in the world that has captivated me quite like that

Islands of Soul
Enticing Islands on the Edge
The Outer Hebrides are like no other group of islands in Scotland. They are captivating from end to end with huge skies, endless powder sand beaches, emerald seas a deep sense of tranquillity
These islands are the last stronghold of the ancient Gaelic language that is still spoken on these islands to this day. From the Butt of Lewis in the north to the Butt of Barra in the south immerse yourself in this beautiful language and learn a few words along the way.
With 13 occupied islands and more than 100 empty islands dotted around the coastline, there is always somewhere new to discover. The population of the whole of the Hebrides is just over 26,000 people and during the summer months particularly July to September, these islands have many visitors yet they have seldom seen such a vast landscape that they are never crowded.
Astonishing Wildlife
Nothing is more rewarding than spending time with wildlife and watching them in their natural environment. In the summer the Outer Hebrides is full of the calls of wild birds, the reefs crammed with common seals and the coastlines alive with millions of sea birds. This truly is a paradise for nature lovers.
Endless daylight
Summer in the Outer Hebrides is the time of endless light when our days are long and the sunsets are so captivating. There are 18 hours of daylight so plenty of time to embrace and enjoy the freedom of theses incredible islands,
Escape the Crowds
Even at the height of summer, the Outer Hebrides is a place where you can escape the crowds and walk alone along a pristine powder sand beach next to the emerald ocean.These islands are vast, the skies huge and the sense of freedom immense.
