Would highly recommend Misty Isle Boat Trips. Very friendly staff, with great local knowledge. Had a fantastic trip to the Loch, and the skipper even treated us to a Welsh... read more song when we told him we were from Wales!

  Absolutely beautiful day out  - I took two grandfather's and three kids aged 16,13 and 12 out on a lovely calm dry October day. The trip was superb. Our highlight was seeing minke... read more whales. The path is easily traversable but was a little too difficult in one place for one of us. Crew were lovely friendly and knowledgeable.

  Brilliant experience from start to finish. We were lucky with a sunny day and calm waters for our crossing. Really appreciated the wealth of experience from this family business with... read more great stories on the way to Loch Courisk. Trip back made even better by a panad and biscuit and sightings of whales and porpouises. Impressed by the guides taking time to try allow everyone to catch a glimpse of the animals. All round 10/10 experience, Elgol is my new favourite Scottish place!

  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 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.

  Leave yourself plenty time to get there. The road becomes excitingly single about five miles from Elgol, so take your time. The Misty Isles guides were helpful and pleasant and... read more the journey there and back to Loch ... can't pronounce or spell ... was good fun. Saw amazing amount of Seals and possibly two sea Eagles. Clearly at different times of the year you'd see other sea creatures. Dogs are permitted .... children too. Landing at the base of the Cuillins was breathtaking. Watch your time once you are there. You'd not want to be left behind in error.

  We had a wonderful experience with our whole family including 3 kids ages 14, 11,and 8. Great way to see a beautiful part of Skye, which is otherwise inaccessible.... read more Amazing stories and service along the way!

  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!

  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.
