Overview

Cycle and Sail to Scotland’s Remote Castles, Ancient Cairns, and Coastal Villages by E-Bike. Explore the untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands and Inner Hebrides aboard an authentic tall ship, sailing and cycling through rugged coastlines, remote isles, and timeless lochs. Cycle quiet roads on the Isle of Mull, where eagles soar overhead and red deer roam freely, and explore the ancient excavation site of Kilmartin, one of Britain's most intriguing prehistoric landscapes. Discover the proud history of Duart Castle perched high above the sea and sample the island spirit at the Jura Distillery. This bike and boat tour guarantees an extra-special way to experience the soul of Scotland —its myths, landscapes, and ancient heritage. 7 nights from €2322. This is a guided tour of 'Active' type. The tour includes 7 nights' accommodation aboard the 'Flying Dutchman', breakfast, 7 days half board, guided bike tours, overview maps, e-bike rental with pannier bag, helmet rental, bed linen & towels, and an English-speaking guide. This guided bike and boat tour requires basic fitness levels and safe cycling abilities. Good balance is required for embarking/disembarking the ship (by dinghy). Tide changes may make it necessary to use ladders for embarkation/disembarkation. Daily distances cover 12-32 miles (20-55 km) on quiet country roads (asphalted) and rural paths, with some longer, steeper ascents. Some strong headwinds may be encountered. The itinerary factors in time for everyone to complete each tour. Each day, the guides will provide an overview of the route's difficulty level. The itinerary each day also depends on the captain's discretion and the weather.
