The Isle of Skye Trip Planning Workshop is back — just once in 2026!
After a year break from workshops, I’m running just one this year, on the 4th of October. If you’re planning a Skye trip and want it to be the best it can be, this is where to start.
Why plan now?
This workshop is all about knowing your options, and making the most of them.
Skye accommodation is already open for 2027, and it does get booked out. If you wait until a few months before your trip, you’re choosing from what’s left, not what you actually want.
People also underestimate how much time they need. There’s so much to see, and you won’t manage everything in a day or two, but even a shorter trip can work brilliantly if it’s planned efficiently. I’ll help you work out what’s realistic for the time you have, and how to use it well.
But flexibility is so important too! We’ll talk about how to manage your plans with the weather, and what you need to know about eating out in Skye.
Get the basics of your accommodation and transport sorted now, while you have plenty of choices available, and know how you’re going to go ahead and organise your days later on. This is what actually saves you money, stress, and disappointment later.

About Me
I’m Sonja. I’ve spent the last eleven years writing about and guiding people through making their travel plans, and now I’m a private tour guide running my own company on the Isle of Skye.
I’ve heard exactly where visitors plans went wrong, what they wished they’d known, and what they were glad they didn’t skip. This workshop takes all of my trip planning and Skye knowledge, condensed into 90 minutes, to help you set off on the right foot, before you even get to the island.
I also run the Isle of Skye Travel Tips Facebook group, 55,600 members and growing, but there’s only so much you can cover in a comment thread. This is the full version, and the chance to ask your own questions live.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the workshop?
It will take place on Zoom. You’ll need to have an account set up, but you don’t need to have your video on. Just sit back and watch!
How long is the workshop?
It will be 90 minutes long and includes a Question and Answer session at the end.
Is there a replay?
A replay will be sent out, but if you can make it live, please do so I can answer as many questions as possible at the end!
When do I get the planner and food guide?
We’ll send the planner and food guide tothe email you signed up with before the workshop.
It’s a downloadable and fillable document you can use to help with your planning, not a physical planner.
Why should I book now if my trip isn’t for a while?
Because Skye needs planning in advance. Accommodation is already available, but it won’t always be! The earlier you plan, the more choice — and the less stress — you’ll have closer to your trip. I’m also only running this workshop once this year.
