The walk to Boreraig is classified as long and easy. It is a 10 km round trip, taking approximately 90 minutes each way. The walk starts at the church of Kilchrist, about 27 km from Portree. En route there is a village of ruined houses that were cleared in the 1850s to make way for sheep grazing. Further on there are the remains of a railway platform which was the terminal point for the now disused marble quarry. The gravel path along the old railway track is well maintained. The path gets rockier as it heads uphill. At the coast, a waterfall drops into a clear pool on the beach.
