Crowned the 'Hebridean Explorer', this 280km bike journey weaves its way through seven islands on a variety of ancient paths, historic by-ways, mountain tracks and impossibly quiet roads. Travel through one of Europe’s last true wilderness regions, the Outer Hebrides, a superb location for a mountain bike holiday in the UK. More than any other bike ride, the Hebridean Explorer offers the opportunity to experience life on the islands, where the landscapes are wild and untamed, golden eagles and red deer roam free, and human history dates back over 5000 years. This tour runs from Glasgow-Glasgow.

Day 4 in particular was our favourite, the variety of riding, differing terrains, stops and the rib rides were all terrific. And how on earth did [the tour operator] arrange the varying weather conditions culminating in glorious sunshine. Is there nothing you guys cannot do?!

All of the days provided…

I have always wanted to see the Western Isles & the combination of ferry, inflatable boat, on-road, off-road and travel in the [tour operator's] van was perfect to experience the variety of scenery, historic features, island culture, bird and sea life, and something of ordinary life in Outer Hebrides. It…

As we, return ‘offenders’ to…

This holiday was a brilliant way to see the Western Isles. There was something for the roady as well as us off roaders. I love the idea of our luggage being taken to the next destination. Our guides were not just cycling guides, they made sure we saw all the…

Day 4 was my favourite day. The combination of biking, boating and stunning scenery would be enough for a top day. Add on the sharks, dolphins, puffins and seals and we had an unforgettable one!

Hard to pick my favourite day as they were all memorable and I liked them all. The ‘big’ day (5) was VERY memorable and wonderful. Day 1 was beauty and remoteness enhanced. Day 3 was also pure fun through the rolling hills of heather. The lodge in Laggen was extra…
