There are several boat trips to visit seals nearby and a visit to Loch Coruisk in the centre of the Cuillin is highly recommended. Other activities include sailing, sea kayaking, golf, fresh and sea fishing and horse riding.
Skye is a haven for wildlife and you may be lucky and spot an otter on the shore in front of the house. Dolphins and porpoises regularly visit Broadford bay as well as the odd whale. Overhead you may see a golden eagles and also the rare white tailed sea eagle now nests on Skye in small numbers.
