Arrived early, thanks to some insider information we received from Stuart at Skye Luxury Tours. He suggested we arrive early so we could explore Honeycomb rock and the beach area... read more near the boat launch. (See photos).

After beach exploration, we met Carol at the landing and she was friendly and helpful. Sandy and Shamus tied up the boat and gathered everyone up for a three hour excursion. We set out excited to see some wildlife and scenic views.

We saw some porpoises, dolphins, harbor seals, a number of sea birds and a couple of minke whales. I was only able to catch a few in pictures, but it was a great day. During the ride, Shamus shared stories and information about the area and wildlife. Sandy remained focused on finding the wildlife and positioning the boat so everyone could get a view. Great teamwork and their experience was obvious.

One of the great aspects of the Misty Isle, was that she sat so low in the water. You were just above the waterline, so it was much easier to see whatever was swimming in the water around the boat!

Loved this tour and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

  Fantastic day/half-day out to the heart of the Cuillins. Take a stroll around (part of) Loch Coruisk and go for a swim in it - refreshing! The boat... read more crew are great - Sandy, Seamus and Coral. The family's been there for generations, and they have lots of entertaining stories to share. Highly recommended. They do several drop-offs during the day - take a boatload over, bring the previous ones back, take another over etc ... This gives you about 90 minutes, which go very quickly. If you want to do a bit of a walk, have a swim or just hang around and soak in the place, go before the last sailing (~2pm) and let them know you'd like to take a later return rather than take the next trip back.

  We had a wonderful trip out, the skipper and his Nephew were very entertaining. Particularly enjoyed the story of how the Cullins got their name. Had plenty of time to... read more explore around Loch Coruisk and get a wee swim. Back on board for a delicious hot chocolate. Then heading back to Elgol. You had the choice to sit in the dry area behind the cabin watching the mountains. Or sit up front and get drenched with each new wave We definitely chose the best option!! A great trip, a friendly bunch, good ideas for other things to do on Skye. All in all wonderful.

  What a beautiful afternoon’s boat trip to a beautiful, stunningly peaceful place. From the very beginning, we were greeted and helped onboard ( a very nervous golden retriever), and... read more made at ease. My greatest fear was how to get off the boat at the other end, but we were assured that Seumas would lift and carry our two year old retriever off the boat and onto the landing steps and bridge. Great tour guide as we crossed the water, great and very funny stories by Captain !! We had a lovely afternoon and would highly recommend this trip and the Misty Isle team. Cups of tea and hot chocolate and biscuits on the way back, & help off the boat. So glad we made this trip and able to take our beloved dog too. Xxxxx

  This is a superb trip & highly recommended.We were a party of 4 adults & 2 children aged 7 & nearly 5.The skipper Sandy & his son Seamus are helpful... read more & entertaining & their Mckinnon family have strong links with area going back beyond their association with Bonnie Prince Charlie.His grandpa also built the white bothie which you will see when you go ashore at the lake.The scenery from the boat & when you walk around the lake is tops at international level.Take a picnic or buy from the Hut near the ticket office. (Probably advisable to book in advance & check weather conditions b4 you travel)

  After a week of dreich weather, the sun decided to make an appearance just before our Loch Coruisk Boat Tour with Misty Isles and we were blessed with some amazing... read more rainbows to highlight the wonderful views.
Sandy and Seamus are great hosts with a wealth of knowledge and familial history. It was definitely worth the drive down the single lane windy road to Elgol and the views to, from, and at Loch Coruisk were spectacular.
I’d also like to thank Anne, who responded to my emails and ensured I was able to get a spot on the tour I. Short notice.
I highly recommend Misty Isles for their knowledge and hospitality. It was an unforgettable afternoon.

  After a great trip with Mistry Isles last year, we returned for another with friends and took our pooch along too. Loved it just as much as the first time!... read more The stories were very entertaining with friendly, welcoming service from the skipper and his wingman! The views and photo opportunities throughout the trip are spectacular. Definitely a must do while visiting the Isle of Skye.

  Awesome boat trip to one of the most beautiful places we've ever seen; Loch Coruisk. Sandy and his team were very informative and the seal colony was fantastic. Being... read more followed home by the pod of dolphins breaching by the side of the boat was the cherry on the cake. We'll definitely be back.

  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
