Skyetrak initially offered Landrover tours and guided walks to visitors when they arrived on the island. In 2003 services were expanded to the cruise ship industry and Rosie soon became the local representative for a number of shore excursion agents; booking guides, advising on and planning itineraries, coordinating dispatch of coaches when ships call at any of the four local harbours.

Skyetrak Safari continues to offer low level walking opportunities to individual travellers.
