The Isle of Skye is a beautiful location and travelers spending time there usually want to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible.  Horseback riding, hiking and rock climbing are all popular with these people.  Horseback riding is one of the outdoor sporting events which can be enjoyed by people of almost all ages.  The major location people go to partake in this activity is the Skye Riding Centre, although there are other stables in the area.

Travelers interested in engaging in hiking and climbing will find that there are a number of terrific locations for them. The website  Skyewalk.co.uk has details of many of them.  The Quiraing rock formations are one of the most popular walking spots, as are the Old Man of Storr and Trotternish Ridge.  One of the most challenging places for outdoor adventurers are the Black Cuilin Mountains.  The highest of these is Squrr Alasdair. Located in the heart of those mountains, travelers will find Loch Coruisk, a lake where they can enjoy swimming and diving.

Visitors who are more interested in urban outdoor activities than in natural setting ones will find that bicycling is the most popular urban activity in the area.  Bicycles can be rented easily at a number of locations.  Golfing is also possible, with the Isle of Skye Golf Club being the most commonly played course.
