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

  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.

  Take some lunch and the Misty Isle and head
out to Lake Coruisk for a fantastic walk.
Pilot whales in the bay! Tea and biscuits on the return journey... read more

  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.

  My sister and her family came over from Boston Usa and we decided on a wee weekend up to Skye ...suggestions on what to do were made and one... read more was Misty Isles Boat Trip ..and how glad we decided to do this trip ..one of the reasons on taking the trip was the fact they allow dogs and we have an "old seadog"called pele aged 13 who goes on holiday with us ..Sandy and Seamus were great at lifting him on and off the boat as well as helping us all ...Seamus tells a good story en route with fact and some tongue in cheek yarnsIm also sure if Sandy had been born in the time of Bonnie prince charlie Flora macdonald wouldnt have needed to take him over sea to Skye as Sandy would have ..We saw plenty seals and then enough time onshore fr our picnic we brought and to take photos of the stunning landscape ...Return journey hot refreshements and biscuits ....great value for money great crew who made the trip for us as well as the beautiful Loch Coruisk ..

  What a fantastic trip. From the cheery greeting to Kirsty’s info on the boat, to tea, coffee, hot choc and biscuits on the return. But most of all the views.... read more Just wow!
We were doubtful that we wouldn’t freeze but the skipper said we’d have a good day and he was right. As we approached the jetty for Loch Coruisk the wind dropped, sun came out and the water was like glass. Our party of 5, which included our wee dog, had a great time and didn’t want to leave. Stunning scenery. We wished we’d came prepared for a swim. One of our party had a mild physical disability but managed fine with an extra hand on rougher terrain and climbing the stairs. Remember your sun cream, sometimes you need it in Skye!

  Our B&B host recommended we take the time to drive to Algol and to hop on this boat and so thrilled that we listened. The crew was very entertaining... read more and the scenery stunning. We lucked out and had a gorgeous sunny day! Once at the loch you are on your own. We hiked around for some amazing views and photos. We brought some snacks and drinks and had a small picnic before hiking back. You have about 90minutes here and on this gorgeous day we could have used more. It was breathtaking and no photos can really do it justice. If you have time while in the area, please make this one of your stops. Misty Isle boat was a wonderful last day for us.

  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.

  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 went for a three-hour trip on the Misty Isle and it was excellent. We were a group of 10, with ages ranging from 10 to 70 plus and we... read more all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our hosts were warm and witty, the views spectacular even when the cloud was low, and we saw common seals, a red deer and a colony of shags. Highly recommended!
