    FAQs

    You can explore this region between spring and autumn. At any time, you will have an unforgettable experience. However, if you go in summer, keep in mind that you may encounter midges (mosquitoes), that while you're on the move, they won't bother you.

    You can call us to arrange a private transfer for you.

    If you prefer, you can also use public transport or local taxis to get to your next accommodation.

    This walking holiday in the south of the Isle of Skye requires that you are in very good physical condition to be able to travel long distances, as you will encounter undulating terrain.

    If you're not used to an active lifestyle, you'll need to start physically preparing at least 6 months before your trip.

    Some trails are not properly signposted and have little visibility, so you must be a skilled walker with a good sense of direction and interpretation of maps and compasses.

    We recommend that you book as soon as you are sure about your dates, as accommodation can fill up very quickly in this area.

    Once you make your reservation we will send you all the detailed information about the specific equipment you need for this route, considering recommendations for shoes, boots, clothes and a day-to day backpack.

    I travelled last week to Madeira with Orbis Ways and it has been an amazing experience. Accommodations were exceptional, and everything was explained very well, apart from that the Island is amazing, must be seen at least once in a lifetime. Dinners were very good, with local fresh homemade food! Very recomending!!!

    Few days ago I finished Camino Francés. Orbis Ways planned the trip for me, arranged my routes and accommodations as well as luggage transfers. Everything went smoothly from the beginning in St Jean Pied du Port until the end in Santiago. Rooms with private bathrooms that they booked for me were comfortable and clean and luggage transfers underwent without mistakes. My daily routes were well planned. In 34 days I had only two problematic situations with accommodations and their 24 hours assistance team solved them in few minutes. I enjoyed every minute of my Way. I am planning to return and do some other route - Norte and Portugués gor sure. Orbis Ways will be my choice again.
