We did the standard three hour trip & it was brilliant. The Mackinnon family were super-welcoming & knowledgeable. The views to the Cuillin are stunning & we were lucky enough... read more to see a school of dolphins close up. The time spent by Loch Coruisk was peaceful & the scenery amazing. Our boys, 5 and 8, loved every minute. Highly recommended.

  Magical trip: stunning scenery; amazing wildlife - we saw dolphins on the way out and back from the Loch; lovely spot to rest and walk/climb made the outing a great... read more balance between sea and land; entertaining stories from all three generations of the family aboard!

  This was an absolutely beautiful trip. The skipper and his son were knowledgeable and shared much history. We had 1.5 hours to wander around an island to take... read more pictures and hike if we chose. Our time was mostly free of rain, any hiking would be tough in the rain. We saw 2 schools of seals,sunning them selves on the rocks.

Parking was very tight at the boat launch, so best to arrive early. The drive each direction was single track, and stressful for us, being new to Scotland. But the drive was beautiful also. We would definitely do this activity again.

  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.

  This boat trip is absolutely excellent and we really enjoyed it despite rather unpredictable weather. We were treated to close up views of the very large seal colony before our... read more stop off to walk up to the loch. The staff were absolutely lovely and friendly. The hot chocolate and biscuits were a lovely unexpected treat. The dog also enjoyed himself! Afterwards we had delicious lobster rolls from the nearby snack hut -never had these before but definitely want them again!

  We travelled with the Misty Isle yesterday for our class trip. We have 19 children in our class and every one of us thought it was excellent. Our class topic... read more has been Vikings and we were very surprised and delighted when the Skipper Sandy and Crew Seumas had dressed up as Vikings for us. We saw porpoise jumping in the water and the Misty Isle hot chocolates were amazing! We also saw lots of seals and they waved at us. The talk about Vikings and Cú Chulainn was very interesting. The walk to the loch was just the right length for our class and we had lots of fun eating our lunch with the lovely view of the mountains and the loch. It was very cool that they spoke some Gaelic to us and at the end we all go to drive the boat as well. Tapadh leibh uile!

  We were a little hesitant as the sea looked rough! However, we had an amazing trip from Elgol to Loch Coruisk last week. Stunning views, great commentary with lots of... read more interesting details about the other islands and island life. The seals were bathing on the rocks as we neared the mooring point which was a highlight. We were allocated 30 minutes to walk around the loch (we chose the short trip) which is plenty of time but we chose to linger by the River and enjoy the solitude. Back on board we were offered tea, coffee or hot chocolate and of course - shortbread before making the short journey back to Elgol. This trip is an absolute must made extra special by the Misty Isles "crew" both on sea and land. Our trip lasted about an hour and a half at a cost of £25. Money well spent for a very enjoyable day in Elgol. Thank you everyone at Misty Isle Boat Trips. Visit the shop at the top of the hill too for coffee, cake, gifts and warm hospitality.

  Great family day out on the Misty Isle to Loch Coruisk. Stunning views on the way out and at the loch. Sandy and Coral were great hosts, informative and entertaining... read more on the history of the area and it's wildlife. We had enough time at the other side to swim in the loch and take a wander up the hill for some cracking views over the loch. Refreshments on the way back and kids even got to steer the boat. The skipper's son Seumas also seen us off and greeted us on our return making a point of speaking to the kids. I would highly recommend this trip.

  Took the children and our dog on a boat trip to Loch Coruisk in August 2021, Sandy the Skipper and his son Seamus were so welcoming and friendly, great tour... read more and info of the surrounding areas. Amazing walk around the Loch when you get off the boat, not for the elderly or those with mobility problems as the ground is uneven at the other end, but a fantastic hike around the loch with stunning views, it's well worth the trip.

Take a picnic, there are no toilets when you get to Loch Coruisk and the toilets in Elgol are at the top of the village before you drive down to the jetty where you get the boat - so make sure you stop there if you have kids before hopping on! Lovely little coffee kiosk was open selling nice coffees, ice creams and sea food salads, great to get snacks before and after the trip.

This is a family business and one we are so glad we supported.

  Second time on this trip and it was as good as the first time. Enjoyed the scenery, the story telling, the hot chocolate and the shortbread, and that was just... read more the boat experience, let alone the purpose of the trip Loch Coruisk. Stunning place. Took a picnic and ate it on the banks. An amazing experience from start to finish.
