So special, must do trip on Skye! - We adored our trip to Loch Coruisk! Seumas and Sandy are a hilarious father son duo, we really enjoyed their banter and story telling. We were lucky enough to see... read more a sea eagle flying above us but sadly no dolphins which had been out the previous two days. We went for the standard trip giving us 1.5 hours on land which was just enough with a toddler. She loved seeing the seal colony. All in all a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be back to do it all again. My mum is local and tells me the MacKinnons of Elgol have been doing the boat tours here for generations. Isn’t that lovely. Highly recommend for spectacular scenery, wildlife if you’re lucky and great story telling!

  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!

  Enjoyed the informative and humorous guide from helpful crew (Sandy and Seamus). It was good to see the seals. Loch Coriusk was beautiful. This is a great family business that... read more really makes the day special, with lots of local connections to Bonnie Prince Charles (cave) and Drambuie (recipe). Hot choc and biscuit was a welcome bonus.
In addition, Roderick kindly guided me around the bogs to see the cave where Bonnie Prince Charlie was hidden prior to him fleeing back to France.
A great day, I really recommend this trip with Misty Isle Boat Trips

  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!

  One of the best tours we made in this trip, exciting and entertaining experience despite of the weather. Super cool and nice staff, thank you for the hot tea and... read more chocolate in the rain

  When you are on the Isle of Skye this trip is absolutely worth it. We went with Sandy and his crew at one of our daughters birthday choice. She hoped... read more to see dolphins and guess what? We did! Also the seal colony is great to see and Loch Coruisk is magnificent. Sandy carried our dog up the stairs, so many thanks for that. On the way back warm drinks and biscuits and back at the dock a pin for the children. A trip to remember!

  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!

  We booked the Misty Isle boat trip because we had family visitors (We live in Broadford and had been before). Boy are we glad that we did because like previous... read more reviews we were privileged to see the pod of dolphins. Sandy (ship's captain) steered the boat to the perfect spot and we were able to observe the adults and babies up close..... what a magical experience for everyone on board. Then we motored to Loch Coruisk where we spent around an hour and a half surrounded by spine tingling scenery. Sandy and Seumas took great care of the humans and doggy passengers, helping to carry the dogs up/down the landing steps. On the return journey Seumas regaled us with factual and mythical stories....... very talented young man. A fantastic experience and one I would highly recommend if you have time!!

  Weather seemed to be set fair and we wanted a trip over to Loch Coruist to get a little closer to the magnificent Cuillen ridge. The trip delivered this and... read more much more. Father and son team Sandy and Seamus were excellent, friendly hosts giving us a Gaelic welcome (literally), providing interesting anecdotes about the local history and area and taking us to see a local colony of common seals. There is 90 minutes to amuse yourself and soak in the glorious scenery ( a short 10 min walk away once you reach the destination). Passengers welcomed back with hot refreshments and chocolate biscuit before the journey back. Seamus was excellent with the children on board answering loads of questions in a knowledgeable, patient and friendly way. Those children who wanted even got the opportunity to steer the boat on the way back as an extra treat. Highly recommend this trip.
