Mountain biking holidays offer unique opportunities to really explore deep into areas that are rarely visited, on incredible trails that are rarely ridden.
Our mountain bike tours in Scotland are some of the most iconic in Europe. Our Coast to Coast tour follows a unique route that we have spent 18 years refining so that you have the best possible experience. The Hebridean Trail winds its way through 7 beautiful islands and into some really wild places in Harris and Lewis.
Along the way, you’ll stay in carefully selected guesthouses and small hotels, so you can ride during the day and relax in the evenings.
Our expert guides hold the respected Mountain Bike Leader qualification. With years of experience, they also know the backcountry trails in Scotland better than anyone. Many of our trips are point to point rides – our support vehicle transfers your luggage and offers a lift if your legs are tiring!

The Bottom Line
The first day along the beach was hard going for me with the sand being soft. Perhaps spend less time riding the sand, I know the alternative would riding on the road. We did not ride the road back to the hotel after finishing the sand ride. I doubt if I could have managed it. I think we did about 40kms of sand riding. For me this was the third best day of the trip. I was happy with the second day of the trip the coffin trail. I did walk most of the coffin trail but enjoyed the rugged scenery of the day. I do not ride the road for the final few kms. It was the history connected with the trail that made it so worthwhile. This was the day that I enjoyed the most from a riding point of view. I learnt a lot of new mountain bike skills on this day. This was my best day of the trip. The third day I choose not ride as I believe it was beyond my capabilities. The visit to the Harris distillery was the highlight of the day. Amazing guide who really lived the experience and made the tour so much more enjoyable. A worthwell addition to the trip. The fourth day was also a good day and I would rate it as the second best day of the trip. Again we did not ride from the hotel to the first rib ride. This was a wise choice as I doubt I would have lasted the day if I had riden that section.The big hill after the rib ride I walked quite a bit of it. again the scenery on this part was stunning and the experience of the downhill ride was a plus for me. Even if I did it slow. Then the second rib trip to the standing stones. This was the highlight of the day. To be able to walk amongst the stones and try and visualise the skills of the people who put them in place so many years ago. We went out for meal that evening and it was an exceptional meal best one on th trip. The final day ride to the Butt of Lewis was along the road all the way. I rode the first leg till lunch time and rode in the van for the rest of the trip to the Butt. It would be good if an off road section could be found for this day. I do not ride a lot on the road and found this the least interesting section that I rode. The visit to the Black House just before lunch was interesting and added some variety to the day. I would. I would rate this day the fourth best day. It would be helpful if a elevation map could be provided to potential customers. I know because of my limited preparation for the trip because of injury did not help with my enjoyment of the trip. But overall I enjoyed the experience and would like to another mountain bike trip that would offer a similar experience.
