The TT Course & Motor Museum Tour is a guided lap of the full 37¾-mile TT Mountain Course, led by an ex-TT racer, combined with a visit to the Isle of Man Motor Museum. The route follows Douglas, Glen Vine, Ballacraine, Kirk Michael and Ramsey before climbing the Mountain Road, finishing at the TT Grandstand with a photo stop on the Winners' Podium. Along the way, your guide points out the famous corners and explains the racing lines competitors take at speed.
Midway through, the tour stops at the Isle of Man Motor Museum, home to 500+ exhibits and workshop access to see restoration work in progress. Travelling in a small-group minibus keeps things personal, and no prior motorsport knowledge is needed — it works equally well for racing fans and accompanying family. It's also available as a cruise excursion, with flexible timing and pickup from the Duke Travel shop at the Sea Terminal.

You'll learn about the Manx legends that inspired the Fynoderee name and brand, explore the working distillery warehouse, and discover how their range of gins, vodka, rum — and upcoming Isle of Man Single Malt Whisky — are created. The tour concludes with a tutored tasting session and time to unwind in The Fyn Bar, with the opportunity to shop for exclusive gifts and bottles.
The Fynoderee Distillery Tour runs as a standalone experience, so you're free to combine it with your own onward plans in Ramsey — including a scenic journey there by Manx Electric Railway. It's a good option for visitors who'd rather explore the north of the island at their own pace than join a fixed group itinerary.

This tour pairs one of the island's most scenic train journeys with a genuine behind-the-scenes distillery experience, giving you the freedom to travel and explore at your own pace on both legs of the day. It suits visitors who enjoy a slower, more independent style of sightseeing rather than a fixed group itinerary.
The Belgian Chocolate Workshop is a hands-on experience on the Isle of Man that reveals the craft behind one of the world's most loved treats. In this relaxed, interactive session, you'll step inside the warm, cocoa-scented studio of a skilled local chocolatier and learn the techniques that give fine Belgian chocolate its signature shine, smooth texture and perfect snap.
Your 2.5-hour workshop begins with the fascinating story of chocolate, from the ancient cocoa traditions of the Mayans and Aztecs to the development of the premium Belgian chocolate we know today, including how cocoa beans are transformed into luxurious couverture chocolate. Under the guidance of your expert chocolatier, you'll then learn the art of tempering chocolate — the essential technique behind a glossy finish and satisfying snap — before crafting and decorating your own handmade chocolates from a range of gourmet fillings and toppings.
Along the way, enjoy a cup of the host's rich Belgian hot chocolate and a selection of sweet treats, and finish by packaging your handmade chocolates in a gift-ready box to take home.

The relaxed, sociable setting comes with complimentary refreshments throughout, making Candle Making at Soaral ideal for visitors discovering the Isle of Man as well as locals looking for a mindful creative activity.
When your candle eventually burns out, the studio can remake your custom scent so you can enjoy it again and again — a small touch that turns a one-off workshop into something you can keep coming back to. It's a popular choice for a relaxed afternoon out, a couple's activity, or simply some time to yourself away from the usual sightseeing itinerary.
Perfume Making at Soaral is a chance to blend, bottle and take home your very own signature fragrance on the Isle of Man.

Guided by a friendly expert host, you'll learn the art of fragrance composition — how to balance top, heart and base notes — while exploring a palette of scents inspired by the natural world, from zesty citrus and delicate Manx florals to warm spices and earthy woods. Once you've found your favourite combination, you'll mix and bottle your own signature perfume spray to take home: choose the Beautiful 30ml Perfume (£55) or the Marvellous 100ml Perfume (£85).
The session is relaxed and sociable, with complimentary refreshments served throughout, making Perfume Making at Soaral ideal for couples, friends, families or solo guests — and when your bottle eventually runs low, the studio can remake your custom scent so you can enjoy it again.

You'll begin with a short introduction to the world of chocolate, from the origins of the cocoa bean to the creation of smooth ganache, before your host guides you step by step through preparing the perfect ganache filling and mastering the techniques of rolling, coating and decorating your own truffles. Choose from an assortment of toppings and decorations to make your truffles truly personal.
With a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and complimentary refreshments throughout, the Truffle-Making Workshop makes a brilliant rainy-day activity, a tasty date idea, or a memorable gift experience for friends and family visiting the Isle of Man — and you'll take home your handmade creations in a beautifully packaged box.

The Isle of Man TT Heritage Tour steps into the history of the world's greatest road race. This half-day tour combines a guided lap of the legendary 37.73-mile Isle of Man TT Course with a visit to the TT Gallery in Douglas, where the iconic TT trophies are displayed alongside rare photographs, films and memorabilia.
Unlike a race-day experience, this is a sightseeing tour rather than one driven at racing speeds — it's built for visitors who want to understand the history and heritage behind the TT rather than experience it at competition pace. With expert local commentary throughout, your guide brings the course to life with the stories, characters and landmarks that have shaped the event since it began.
The tour runs in small groups by minibus, making it a relaxed and personal way to see the TT Course outside of race week, when the roads are quiet and open to explore at a gentler pace. It's a fitting introduction for anyone curious about the TT's history, whether or not they've seen the racing itself — and a good option for visitors on the island outside of the June TT and August Manx Grand Prix periods, when this is one of the few ways to experience the course itself.
