    If you were happy to use the accommodation we automatically reserve for you at the time of booking, I can put an extra note on the booking that you wish to be in the same room. The hostel we work with has a 6-bed dorm room. If you wish to look elsewhere, some other accommodation that you can book within Kyleakin is Saucy Mary's lodge. They have a hostel option as well as private rooms. As we automatically reserve beds upon booking at our chosen hostel, if you do book elsewhere, please let us know so we can release the reserved beds.

  When visiting Fort William, is there any option to visit the train or viaduct of Glenfinnan, which has to do with the Hogwarts Express?

    MacBackpackersOperator•Written September 2025

    We do not visit the viaduct on the 3 day Isle of Skye tour but if you join the 3 day Loch Ness and Skye Magic tour or the 5 Day Highland Fling, both of them visit the viaduct. Please note that we do not always see the train.

    We offer tour specifically for young people aged between 18-39. Although we sometimes make exceptions for people just over the 40 mark, we unfortunately can't do the same for anyone under the age of 18 due to legal reasons.

    Our guests are mostly in their early twenties and book with us specifically because we have a set age restriction and they want to hang out and socialise with other people their age. I hope you can understand! However, there are plenty of other tour companies out there who don't have an age restriction, who would be able to give you the adventure you are looking for.

  May I know if this tour will go to the Glenfinnan Viaduct?

  Tour Details
  • 

    MacBackpackersOperator•Written March 2025

    The 3 day Isle of Skye tour does not go to the Glenfinnan viaduct, but we do have tours that do. If you wanted to see the viaduct, then the 3 day Loch Ness and Skye Magic tour and the 5 day Highland Fling tour both include the Glenfinnan viaduct in their itineraries.

    my age is 58 I'm very athletic, this is a problem? I read ade 18-39? I'm excluded?
  • 

    MacBackpackersOperator•Written February 2025

    Unfortunately if you outside of the age range we won't be able to accommodate you on the tour. This is for a few reasons, part of it being the fitness of guests but also the fact that we try to create the best atmosphere for young people to meet and connect on our Highland trips. This means that we have sold the idea of a young person's tour to the rest of the guests on tour and we need to respect that they want to travel with people their own age.

  I need exact time and place for the start of the tour and end of the tour. And how far is the start & end point from airport. If we come directly from Airport to the start point, how much luggage size per person is available.

    For this tour we would highly recommend arriving in Edinburgh the night before and staying overnight, as the tour will be leaving at 8 am and you would need to arrive at Castle Rock Hostel (the departure point) at 7:30 to check in. The tour will end at the same point, we generally arrive around 6 pm but as we can't guarantee timings on the roads, we recommend choosing a late flight out or spending the night in Edinburgh. The starting point is a 30 minute taxi from the airport or 45 minutes with public transport and walking. Free luggage storage is available at the departure point, but you're also able to travel with a cabin sized bag for the boot and a day bag.

    When I am booking, it's saying tour only or accommodation also. I want all included.
  • 

    MacBackpackersOperator•Written January 2025

    The accommodation is not included in the price on TourRadar, but comes to £34 per night which includes breakfast. You can pay for this at the departure point when you arrive for the tour or if you book direct you'll be able to add it as an option when making the booking.

    MacBackpackersOperator•Written January 2025

    The tour is 2 nights, 3 days. Both nights are spent in Kyleakin, but you can book your nights before and after the tour at Castle Rock when you book direct. Otherwise, you'll receive a discount code for 10% off a stay at Castle Rock, High Street Hostel or Royal Mile Backpackers with your booking confirmation.

    I will be coming a day before departure so will it be possible for me to stay in castle rock for a good deal? Can you please give me the list of paid tourist spots that we cover so that I can bring bucks based on that?
  • 

    MacBackpackersOperator•Written January 2025

    We recommend that you book the accommodation at Castle Rock Hostel directly with them. At the moment the prices are very good. We understand that our demographic is young travelers who don't have a lot of money, and because of this we try and keep the costs down where ever we can, so we usually visit places which don't have entrance fees. With that said, the guides may choose to change the itinerary based on weather and road conditions, so to be on the safe side, it's always good to have some extra money in case of a rainy day. We recommend between £30-£50. I would also like to remind you to bring enough funds for food.
