Amazing boat trip, both Sandy and his son Seamus were very knowledgeable of the geography and the history of the surrounding islands and knew where to find wildlife. Some passengers... read more saw porpoises and saw a whole pod of Dolphins on the way back some even saw a potential minke whale. We were dropped on a beautiful bay by the Cuillins and were a short walk from Loch Coruisk which was beautiful. We had beautiful weather and were also shown a common seal colony with a grey seal in the mix. We were offered hot drinks and biscuits on the return journey. All in all could not have asked for a better trip. Thank you!!

  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!

  Having returned from Loch Courisk on the Maid of Courisk, our family of 4 (including 2 kids) thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The trip out was smooth sailing and after a... read more spot of wild swimming in the Loch we returned in the capable hands of James and Helen with a shortbread and a coffee (hot chocolate for the kids!). The kids also got a shot steering the ship which was very nice of the crew, which our son really liked! One suggestion is to turn up early, as parking can be hard if you arrive at peak timings. Thank you to James, Helen and all at the ticket office!

  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.

  Second time on this trip and it was as good as the first time. Enjoyed the scenery, the story telling, the hot chocolate and the shortbread, and that was just... read more the boat experience, let alone the purpose of the trip Loch Coruisk. Stunning place. Took a picnic and ate it on the banks. An amazing experience from start to finish.

  A great trip on the Misty Isle, where I chose the maxi option with 6 hours at Coruisk between boats. Our return boat passed the other Misty Isle boat which... read more had a wedding party on board, the wedding was due to take place at Loch Coruisk.
once we were underway Skipper Sandy saw a pod of dolphins, and he took a large diversion and then altered the boat's speed and direction to get the best interaction between us and the dolphins. The dolphins rode the bow wave, lept in the air and generally cavorted around. A magical experience

  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.

  Went on a trip with Sandy and Seumas to Loch Coruisk. We saw harbour porpoises and seals on the way as well as many sea birds. It was... read more so educational and informative. The scenery was spectacular. Sandy and Seumas went out of their way to be helpful (if only all businesses were like them!). I definitely recommend their trips. I wish I could have taken home their whole box of home made shortbread though. Yum.

  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!!
