This trip was the highlight of a fabulous few days in Skye. It's a family-run business, and the father and son who took us out were friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed,... read more pointing out a fist-sized puffin, seals, and oyster catchers. The drive to Elgol felt quite long, but 100% worth it. It's not explicitly a wildlife tour, so we didn't do this to tick things off a list, but we saw lots we wouldn't have otherwise got to see. We were left to explore the peninsula for ages so had plenty of time immersed in the landscape, without coming across any other people. Absolutely stunning.

  What a fantastic trip, the skipper and his crew were very informative and enthusiastic and even gave us a hot drink and biscuit when we were onboard! The trip itself... read more is well worth it, we were very lucky and managed to see dolphins, seals, porpoise and northern gannets diving into the water. Would 100% go back to swim in the loch as it is beautiful

  An unforgettable experience! The crew and staff are very nice. The trip was made short with funny stories and the seals and Loch Coruisk were worth the trip alone, but... read more the highlight was that we went an extra round to see a minke whale. The encounter remains unforgettable. Thank you Sandy and Seamus for this great experience!

  We loved our trip over to Coruisk with father and son team, Sandy and Seamus today. They went out of their way to make our trip entertaining and informative -... read more taking detours to spot minky whales and seals and pointing out bird life. Sandy told us history and folklore of the area and Seamus handed round tea and shortbread. 😀

Highly recommend this family run team - from emailing to book (responsive & friendly) through to the lovely boat perfect for getting - frankly amazing - views.

  From the warm welcome on reception, to the great laid back guide, Seamus, and the skipper Sandy, this was a brilliant choice to visit the Cuillins and Lock Coruisk. ... read more />
We did the Maxi tour (left at 11 and back at 16:30) which gave us just the right amount of time to walk around the loch, eat lunch and relax for 30 mins when we got back. We also got the added bonus of a quick stop off to see the seals on the way to the loch. A free cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate on the way back which was a nice touch.

Overall reasonably priced and our dog went free. Highly recommended.

  A fabulous friendly family team run misty isle boat trips. You recieve a warm welcome when you arrive to get your tickets and the father & son team provide an... read more informative funny commentary on the boat trip to the Loch including some lovely family history. You stop to see the seals before docking at the Loch for about an hour & 20mins. Stunning spot. We were lucky enough to see two porpoise on the way back & enjoyed some delicious homemade shortbread with a coffee & a hot chocolate. Wonderful trip thoroughly recomend, also pop into the Elgol shop or pop up van after your trip for a fantastic fresh hot smoked salmon & local langoustine salad or roll & homemade Gypsy cream amazing.

  A must do experience, a great crew, great trip out to the beautiful Loch Coruisk, you not only learn about the history of the place but maybe lucky enough to... read more see wildlife in their natural surroundings,( porpoises, dolphins, seals as well as ample bird life) Father & son team are wonderful, looking after everyone on board, (that includes your fur babies!) kids even got a go at being captain ( that included my Kermit) we were all spoilt with a hot drink & biscuit once back on board after having plenty of time to soak up the scenery around the Loch. Would do again. and again

  The crew (particularly Seamus and Sandy) was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and entertaining. Service on board was likewise exceptional, including (improbably) coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Crew's expertise operating the boat... read more was top notch!

  Excellent trip, a pleasant trip to the mountain range and back. Coupled with great historical knowledge told by one of the skippers. Breathtaking views, would highly recommend

  Didn’t know what to expect from the boat trip especially as the weather was a bit drizzly to start but what a great outing I had. The crew (3 generations... read more of local MacKinnons) were so friendly and helpful. Seumas the younger regaled us with local information and amusing stories whilst Dad Sandy steered the boat to places of interest like the seal colony and would stop the boat to let us watch and photo porpoises and other interesting wildlife.
The highlight was when we landed ashore and took the short walk to Loch Coruisk, possibly the most beautiful place in the UK !!!!!. We had about and hour and a half ashore and on our return to the boat we were given a hot drink of our choice and biscuits. Then a boat full of excitedly chattering tourists were transported back to Elgol where we reluctantly got off the boat. Would definitely recommend Misty Isle cruises. I’ve already booked another trip for September!!!
Thanks to the Misty Isle staff.
