Scotland's most celebrated small-group tour operator brings its signature storytelling and unhurried pace to Lewis — taking just 16 passengers max through the island's prehistoric, coastal, and cultural highlights in a single memorable day.
What to expect
A Rabbies expert guide narrates the crossing of the Minch and Lewis's layered history from the moment you depart. The route takes in the Calanais Standing Stones with generous time inside the circle, the Broch of Carloway, and sweeping views of the Atlantic machair coastline. Lunch is at a carefully chosen local spot serving fresh Hebridean seafood — langoustines and smoked salmon are typical. The return journey includes a stop for golden views over the peat bogs that have preserved this landscape almost unchanged since the Neolithic era.
Good to know
Book directly on rabbies.com — availability in peak summer fills weeks ahead. Tours depart from Stornoway; confirm pier-to-Stornoway transfer with your guide in advance. The 16-passenger maximum is strictly enforced. Wear weatherproof layers and sturdy footwear — there is some walking on uneven ground at the stone sites.
