About this experience
We’ll begin with a gentle drive along the north shore of Loch Ness, stopping briefly at Invermoriston for a stroll by the falls and a visit to the curious Clog and Craft shop. Continuing north west from here, passing beautiful Loch Cluanie with a possible coffee stop at The Cluanie Inn, we'll pass through the majestic mountain landscape of Kintail. We can stop near the foot of the glen to take a look at the site of the Battle of Glenshiel (1719). We then head over the Ratagan pass, taking in some magnificent views of the Five Sisters of Kintail before dropping down to Glenelg. Here we will investigate the famous Glenelg Brochs, two 2,000 year old structures just past the village, before heading for the community operated ferry to take us over the sea to Skye. Returning over the Skye Bridge, we’ll go searching for Highland cattle and palm trees in Plockton!

The Battle of Glenshiel was a battle in the West Highlands of Scotland on 10 June 1719, between British government troops and an alliance of Jacobites and Spaniards, resulting in a victory for the government troops. It was the last close engagement of British and foreign troops in Great Britain.

The Mam Ratagan, or Bealach Ratagain is a pass from Shiel Bridge on the A87 over the hill to the village and surrounding communities of Glenelg. It is a popular tourist route, linking with the Glenelg - Kylerhea Ferry service to the Isle of Skye, and providing a scenic and interesting alternative to the Skye Bridge. However, what few people perhaps realise is that this is the old road to Skye. The road was first built by Major Caulfeild as a military road to the barracks at Glenelg, but followed an older route used by drovers. The views to the Five sisters of Kintail are unrivalled

Brochs at Glenelg - Dun Telve & Dun Troddan
Admire a pair of 2,000-year-old tall broch towers set in a beautiful glen. Dun Telve and Dun Troddan are both outstanding brochs, in the beautiful valley of Gleann Beag. They are unusually close together for brochs, standing just 500m apart. Their excellent state of preservation attracted attention from an early date, but they are also noteworthy for their design, scale and quality of build. Dun Telve still stands to more than 10m in places. Dun Troddan is shorter, at 7.6m, but is better preserved.

18 GLORIOUS MILES await you. Beginning at the turnoff to Shiel Bridge in Kintail to a main road outside of Broadford on Skye you can take a journey to Skye and adventure on the LAST SURVIVING MANUALLY OPERATED TURNTABLE CAR FERRY in the world. The ferry boat, the MV Glenachulish, is the last manually operated turntable ferry in the world. She is ideally suited for this unique crossing to Skye and is an important part of our heritage. Although there has been a car ferry service crossing the Kylerhea straits since 1934, the very same crossing has been in almost constant use for hundreds of years, as this is the closest point on the Mainland to the Isle of Skye.

Wild West Coast Adventure (Part 1): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Inverness.
How much does Wild West Coast Adventure (Part 1) cost?
+
Prices start at $750 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Inverness usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Wild West Coast Adventure (Part 1) take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Inverness is not rushed.
Is Wild West Coast Adventure (Part 1) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Inverness, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Wild West Coast Adventure (Part 1)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Wild West Coast Adventure (Part 1) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Wild West Coast Adventure (Part 1)?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Inverness can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Inverness and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Wild West Coast Adventure (Part 1) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Inverness within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Inverness?
+
On Outty we rank every Inverness experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Ultimate Isle of Skye Day Tour from Inverness, Isle of Skye and Eilean Donan Castle Day Tour from Inverness, Loch Ness, Outlander & Urquhart Castle from Inverness. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Inverness?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Inverness?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
