Plenty of water sports are available, and you’ll also find great hiking and even pony rides. Portree, the largest town, makes a great base for exploring this striking island.

Clay pigeon shooting with Matt was absolutely fantastic! First time for both of us and we had an amazing time. Fun, safe, and competitive. Matt makes you feel relaxed and at ease immediately, fires kept us from freezing too too much, and we were both able to hit quite a few! Would recommend clay pigeon shooting for anyone visiting Skye - and you get to meet famous Blaze the dog too!
