Activity itinerary

Laxey
  • 25m
Starting at the Great Laxey Wheel, we discover how Laxey evolved from an insignificant sleepy fishing village to the centre of a lucrative mining community with Lady Isabela, the largest surviving water wheel in the world, standing as a bold statement turning to keep the mines free of water.
Maughold Village Church
  • 25m
We venture onto Maughold, situated in a stunning area of natural beauty, we can explore a unique blend of Celtic and Viking heritage as we view some remarkable examples of carved stone crosses and explore the remnants of the first monastery on the island dating back to the 6th century.
Ramsey (Pass by)
As we leave Maughold and head towards the most northerly point of the island, the Point of Ayre, we will pass through Ramsey with its bustling harbour and Victorian swing bridge; we’ll also encounter miles of sandy beaches and bays now a protected marine nature reserve.
Point of Ayre Lighthouse
  • 25m
The Point of Ayre and its surrounding nature reserve showcases stunning natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and feature the striking backdrop of an impressive lighthouse. It is here, that you are closer to Scotland than you are to Douglas!
Peel
  • 25m
Heading towards the west of the island, we’ll venture to Peel; also known as sunset city, with its stunning backdrop of the ancient Castle, fishing harbour and sandy bay. We can wander through the quaint streets with their tiny fishing cottages or take in the fresh sea air along the promenade with an ice cream or around the castle, keeping a look out for the Atlantic grey seals or our resident bottlenose dolphins, Moonlight and Starlight.
Tynwald Hill
  • 25m
Making our way towards the centre of the island, we will see Tynwald Hill. Tynwald is believed to have been established by Norse Viking settlers over a thousand years ago making it the oldest continuous parliament in the world. The hill is now one of the island’s most Iconic landmarks symbolising Isle of Man’s independence as a self-governing crown dependency. There is a wealth of history to explore in this area including the Royal Chapel, a Giant’s grave, Ballaharra Neolithic Stones and Bunscoill Ghaelgagh our Manx Language Primary School.
Douglas (Pass by)
Our tour will conclude by returning via a section of the famous TT course, where the motorbike enthusiasts among you can spot iconic stages of the track. The tour timings allow for travel between destinations.
