- A cycle tour of the Outer Hebrides mostly on the Hebridean Way. The trip starts at Oban - gateway to the isles. First day is from Castlebay on Barra, to Vatersay and back. Taking a small ferry to South Uist. Gradually working our way up though North Uist, Harris and Lewis eventually stopping at Stornoway where we got the ferry to Ullapool in order to make our way back to the van at Oban.

See the house that appears on the left of the screen at 09.49, that was on a tv show called homes by the sea. The house is called Oran Na Mara. What a house! They rent it out and I'm sure there is a 2 year waiting list.
Nice video, have cycled the islands a few times. Good return route is to cross from Tarbert to Uig on Skye, cycle to Armadale ferry to Mallaig the via Ardnamurchan peninsula to Mull then Short ferry back to Oban
Thanks for your comment. I will take a look at your return route on my maps. Sounds good. We are wanting to do that trip again and that would make it a bit different.

Well done guys I did this last year is the most incredible journey.. one question did you stop at luskentyre beach?? I really hope you did
Sorry for the late reply. Ive not been getting my notifications for some reason. Yes that beach was amazing. It actually brought tears to my eyes as Ive never seen anything so beautiful or peaceful in my whole life!
Thanks for the video. How many days did it take?
I think it was 4 days actual cycling on the Island and one day resting in Stornaway before coming back on the ferry. Dont forget you have to factor in getting to Oban and taking a 5 hour ferry. Coming back you need to get back from Ullapool. So you see the trip is quite time consuming but its not all cycling. Theres quite a bit of logistics involved. Its a mind blowing trip and worth all the planning. You could spend more time there and visit the Callanish Stones and the Butt of Lewis which we didnt because of time constraints etc.
great ride - did you stay at hotels along the way? what time of year did you do this? did you have baggage transfer? thanks Rob
thanks Sam much appreciated advice...Rob @@SimplyCyclingtoursandrides
Great video, how did you get from ullapool back to the van?
Im really sorry! I thought i answered this ages ago but cant see anything in replies. We used a cycle taxi service from Inverness to get back to Oban. They are call Ticket to Ride and their website is www.tickettoridehighlands.co.uk/
Which ferry do you get back to mainland
Stornaway to Ullapool 👍
Great video, but it's Stornoway not Stornaway.
Jim McIntosh I will correct that now. I hate bad spelling lol
Watch out for the single-track roads: cyclists get shoved off by cars, they just aren't used to bikes.
Did you have a bad experience?
