Hi there, Looking for your thoughts and/or recommendations. We booked the ferry round trip from Uig to Tarbert and back the same day. I believe it leaves early in the morning and returns to Uig late at night. We are staying in a bed and breakfast in Skye and the ferry terminal is about 15 to 20 min drive. Being that it will be a whole day thing, is this trip worth it? Thanks in advance.

Hi, it cost us ~£50.00 for two adults and 2 children in an estate sized car to go from Uig in Skye to Tarbert on Harris one way. Calmac website for accurate pricing. You cannot get there and back in the same day with the current time table, the ferry from Uig basically unloads and then reloads straight away at Harris to take people back to Skye. The ferry takes 1hr 40mins.
