Glenelg–Skye Ferry

About

A short seasonal vehicle ferry between Glenelg and Kylerhea, operated by the turntable ferry Glenachulish. The crossing is a practical route and a heritage experience, offering a slower alternative to the Skye Bridge. It operates without advance booking during published daytime hours, weather permitting, and fares vary by vehicle type. The approaches on both sides are narrow and winding, so longer motorhomes should check dimensions and road confidence before choosing this route.
