Fabulous trip to Coruisk with a skipper and crew who were armed with local knowledge and folklore

  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)

  My friend and I were ‘marooned’ on the shore at Loch na Cuilce, when Misty Isle came to the rescue! Without hesitation, Sandy and Coral offered to take us to... read more our yacht. Albeit a 5min voyage, their willingness to assist those in need exemplifies the great service they must offer their paying guests! An easy 5 stars.

  We rolled up at the quayside, met with a hearty islander greeting and boarded the boat for the quick jaunt across to Loch Coruisk. A wee dander round the inlet... read more where we saw a seal colony basking in the sun (I know, sun in the isles!). We then went across and docked so we could start our walk. The sights were beyond belief, gorgeous water, the Cuillins and just a calm, peaceful place to walk. We returned to the boat after 90 minutes and were given a hot drink for the return trip. Only downside being the midges (bring your spray) but what is the west coast without them? Definitely do it again next year.

  We had a great trip- the crew was wonderful and informative with some captivating stories along the way. We were lucky to see Minke Whales, Porpoises, and of course the... read more very cute seals.
Loch Coruisk is beautiful and quiet- we easily walked around and found areas with few people. The tea/coffee and cookies when getting back on the boat was a really nice surprise!

  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!

  Great trip to Loch cruisak from Elgor. Boat left on time and entertaining talk on the way re local history and folklore. Spotted seal colony and an Osprey! On time... read more pick up 1.5 hours around the Loch was just about right for us. Nice hot choc on the way back too. Would recommend.

  A fabulous friendly family team run misty isle boat trips.

You stop to see the seals before docking at the Loch for about an hour & 20mins. Stunning spot. We were lucky enough to see two porpoise on the way back & enjoyed some delicious homemade shortbread with a coffee & a hot chocolate. Wonderful trip thoroughly recomend, also pop into the Elgol shop or pop up van after your trip for a fantastic fresh hot smoked salmon & local langoustine salad or roll & homemade Gypsy cream amazing.

  We loved our trip over to Coruisk with father and son team, Sandy and Seamus today.
