Do you happen to know what would be the approximate additional cost in Canadian dollars for the hostel night stays? And what are the other possible additional costs?

The accommodation for the tour is an extra £38 per night which is approximately 70 Canadian Dollars. So for a 5 day tour you are in looking at about 280 Canadian Dollars. Please remember that this is an estimation and will differ depending on conversion rates at the time of booking. There should not be any other additional costs. However, please keep in mind that food is not included in the tour and you will have to account for meals during the tour. Also, whilst we try our best not to visit places which have entry fees, the guide may choose to take you somewhere that does have an entry fee. The guide will let you know in advance if this is the case and entry into those places is alwasy optional, however, the entry fees will be your own responsibility if this is the case.

I am very interested in this trip! I was just wondering if the price of the trip includes everything, or is it just a baseline fee and the hostels we still have to pay for as an addition? Also what is the age group relatively?

The price is just for the tour, accommodation can be added for just £38 per night which also includes breakfast. All other meals are not included and we will drop you off at different local spots for cafes, supermarkets and we can also recommend some pubs for dinner (or you can cook in the hostel). The ages are varied but the most common is between 22-32.

What's the availability for May 2026 in the Scottish Highlands? I'm travelling solo and are open to both shorter (3-day) and slightly longer (5-day) options depending on what fits best. What accommodation setup do you have for solo travellers? Any key differences or standout elements in your tour?

We currently have availability throughout May 2026 on our tours which depart every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, although two departures are not available (22nd & 25th May). For your preferred date of Monday 18th May 2026, there is currently availability on our 5 Day Skye & Highland Fling tour. This is our ultimate Highlands adventure. It includes 1 night near Loch Ness, 2 nights on Skye and 1 night in Oban — a lively coastal town with great pubs and the chance to experience a traditional Scottish ceilidh. The extra time also allows travellers to see more of Scotland and spend longer getting to know others on the tour. For a shorter option, our 3-day tours are; the 3 Day Isle of Skye tour, which includes 2 nights staying on Skye and gives plenty of time to explore the island; and, the 3 Day Loch Ness & Skye Magic tour, which includes the first overnight stay on the shores of Loch Ness, followed by a second night on Skye. This tour also visits Glenfinnan. All three tours visit Glencoe, Loch Ness and the Isle of Skye. The 5-day and Loch Ness & Skye Magic tours also include Glenfinnan (Harry Potter bridge) as well as many other gems along the way. Accommodation on all tours is hostel-style and shared. We get lots of solo travellers joining our trips, so it's a very social atmosphere and easy to make friends along the way.

Do you have a "Harry Potter Tour"??

We do not have a Harry Potter tour.

Can you confirm that I'll have an opportunity to visit Fingal's Cave during the five days?

Unfortunately our tours do not go near the Fingal's Cave.

How do I know exactly which airport to arrive in?

will I get the exact address of where I will be staying since it seems like it's different location during the booking time?

Im interested in booking this trip, it looks great! However, I am 40 and see the age range is listed as up to 39. Would it be ok for me to join still? I am happy with hostel accommodation etc.. Also, can I ask how many travellers are booked onto the trip on April 6th currently?

Yes, we are happy for you to book the tour :) The tour on the 6th of April if already hall full! So don't worry, the tour will definitely be going ahead.

What is the usual age range of people you normally get? And I saw it's based on sharing rooms… would it be sharing rooms with the same gender?

This would be my first time booking trip like this what would be your recommendation to make me feel a little less nervous?

Do you have a 7 day tour that includes first night before rute stars and last night?

We do not have a 7 day tour option.

My wife and I recently completed a backpacking tour through some of Scotland’s most beautiful destinations, including Inverness, Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye, and Oban, and overall it was a fantastic experience. One of the highlights of the trip was undoubtedly our tour guide, Neil. His knowledge of Scottish history, local culture, and folklore added tremendous value to the journey. More importantly, he was approachable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about ensuring everyone had a memorable experience. His storytelling brought many of the places to life and made the long bus drives enjoyable. The hostel accommodation throughout the tour was also excellent. As a backpacker, I found the facilities comfortable, clean, and suited to travellers looking for a budget trip. The scenery itself was simply breathtaking. The landscapes at the Isle of Skye, the mystery surrounding Loch Ness, the charm of Inverness, and the coastal beauty of Oban made every day feel special. Scotland is truly a destination for those who enjoy nature, history, and adventure. My only criticism is that I wished we had more time at several of the locations. While the itinerary covered many incredible places, some stops felt a little rushed and left me wanting to explore further. A slightly slower pace would have made the experience even better. That said, this tour is particularly well-suited for young, solo travellers and backpackers looking for an affordable and social way to experience the Scottish Highlands. Overall, I would happily rate it 4 out of 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone seeking an unforgettable Scottish adventure.Show more

The 5-day Skye & Highland Fling tour was one of the best vacations I have ever been on! Our tour guide Mark, made the trip extremely engaging for all of us, by telling amazing stories, stopping at the most beautiful locations, and curating an awesome playlist! There were 13 of us on the tour, and nearly everyone was a solo traveler, which made for a super fun and close-knit group! The sites you see while traveling between Loch Ness, Skye, and Oban, are beyond stunning, with great opportunities to enjoy nature, architecture, and so much more! The hostels you stay at each night are very nice, and made for a cozy place to gather and rest after adventure filled days! Without a doubt, I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in touring Scotland!!!Show more

I went on the 5 day trip with Mark and 12 other solo travelers, and it was an absolute incredible experience! The tour allows you to see so many different parts of the highlands and blends historical stops (monuments, kirks, an outdoor museum), hikes from easy to moderate (Old Man of Storr), and memorable stops such as waterfalls, lakefront beaches, the Glenfinnan Viaduct, the magical fairy waters, and of course hairy coos! Our days were jam packed, and we ended each day with relaxing hostel stays. We also had a very lucky streak with sunny weather, but the highlands are beautiful any day! Overall an amazing time!Show more

Neil was an outstanding guide on our 5-day MacBackpackers tour through the Highlands in Scotland. From the very beginning, he made a genuine effort to understand what everyone in the group wanted from the experience and went above and beyond to make sure we all got the most out of it. What really stood out was his flexibility and quick thinking. Whether it was adapting the itinerary to suit the group’s interests, navigating unexpected road closures, or even adjusting plans around film and TV shoots, Neil handled everything seamlessly. In fact, these changes often made the experience even better than we originally anticipated. His knowledge of Scotland was exceptional not just the history and culture, but also all the hidden gems you’d never find on your own. Thanks to him, we got to see places and have experiences that truly made the trip special. Neil’s enthusiasm, professionalism, and ability to create a fun, relaxed atmosphere made the whole journey unforgettable. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.Show more

Brilliant operation, Neil was a high energy character with a story for every occasion and a great blend of gauging the interests of the group and making executive decisions for what to spend time on. To me, being on vacation means getting to catch up on sleep, so Neil's strictly enforced quiet hours actually made the trip better for me. Beautiful landscapes with the option for light to more strenuous hikes. Great way to submerge, sometimes literally, into what the Highlands have to offer!Show more

Take this tour! The ideal length of time. I had as much fun on the bus as I did walking the sites. Accommodations were clean, well-organized and spacious. Highlights for me were hiking up to the Old Man of Storr, the Gorge, the ferry ride and our night in Oban where we joined in a Ceilidh dance night (might not be an option for all travelers depending on tour schedule). We had Mark (newest MaccyB team member) as our guide for the first 3.5 days and Branka for the remaining 1.5 days. They both oozed passion for, and knowledge of, Scotland as well as connection with travelers. Their energy is infectious and their music sensibility is off the charts! :D Their presence amplified the tour experience. The reason this specific tour was appealing was because of it's focus on being in the outdoors. The schedule was well-timed with balanced intervals on the bus and exploring. The staff truly embody their commitment to building a community between the travelers on the tour. The stories were endless, the vistas were breathtaking and the memories everlasting!Show more

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry some stops felt rushed and that parking restrictions limited your time at certain sites. There is a problem with crowds in summer and we do our best to navigate the Island safely while taking you to see as much as we can. We do our best to balance travel times with exploring, but we understand it can feel short. We’d love to welcome you back for an even better experience next time, possibly in the autumn, winter or spring if your priority is seeing every site.

There is an example itinerary on our operator page, however, we allow our drivers the freedom to change the itinerary if they feel it will enhance your experience, so nothing is set in stone. If you get lost on your way to begin the tour, you can phone Castle Rock Hostel reception on [phone visible after confirmation]. If you somehow get lost whilst you are on tour, you can phone the MacBackpackers office at [phone visible after confirmation]. Make sure you pack comfortable shoes or boots to hike in, waterproof layers, a swimsuit and warm clothing.

- MacBackpackersOperator•Written March 2026
  Our tours are designed for people between the ages of 18-40 and our average traveller is in their late 20s or early 30s, however we do get a good mix across the board. We generally try and keep our passengers seperated into same sex dorms if at all possible, however if you want, we can add an extra note on your booking for you to be in a same sex dorm if it would make you feel more comfortable.
- MacBackpackersOperator•Written March 2026
  I would get yourself booked into Castle Rock Hostel the night before the tour so that you are at the pick up place already. You may even meet others that are travelling on the tour there the night before! My best advice is to sit next to someone on the bus who is also travelling solo and make a friend on the first day. Our tours are very relaxed and are curated in such a way to make it easy for any traveller to make friends along the way.
