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.

  Friendly and entertaining hosts, clean boat, incredible scenery! We were able to walk about on land which broke up the 3 hour trip. Nice touch with hot beverages and... read more shortbread after reboarding. Be prepared for all weather, and get there early because parking is a challenge.

  From the start Anne and Coral were a delight to deal with. Their knowledge of the local area, including local stories and characters, really made the experience.

(Probably advisable to book in advance & check weather conditions b4 you travel)

  This was such a delightful surprise -- the boat trip with information about the surrounding area and a beautiful hike once we landed in the Black Cullins. We saw seals... read more lazing about and enjoyed tea on the way home. The perfect way to see more of the Isle of Skye than from land. Definitely recommend. Have lunch at the top of the hill in Elgol before or after your trip (from the little air streamer).

We had children, from 7 - 11, with us and they ran around once arriving, having a blast around the rocky shore of the loch. We also had my parents with us and they were able to do the "hike" easily too. They just did not go as far as the kiddos. There was a series of stepping stones that could be taken to a longer hike, but our crew did not do that.

  We were a little hesitant as the sea looked rough! However, we had an amazing trip from Elgol to Loch Coruisk last week. Stunning views, great commentary with lots of... read more interesting details about the other islands and island life. The seals were bathing on the rocks as we neared the mooring point which was a highlight. We were allocated 30 minutes to walk around the loch (we chose the short trip) which is plenty of time but we chose to linger by the River and enjoy the solitude. Back on board we were offered tea, coffee or hot chocolate and of course - shortbread before making the short journey back to Elgol. This trip is an absolute must made extra special by the Misty Isles "crew" both on sea and land. Our trip lasted about an hour and a half at a cost of £25. Money well spent for a very enjoyable day in Elgol. Thank you everyone at Misty Isle Boat Trips. Visit the shop at the top of the hill too for coffee, cake, gifts and warm hospitality.

  A fabulous friendly family team run misty isle boat trips. You recieve a warm welcome when you arrive to get your tickets and the father & son team provide an... read more informative funny commentary on the boat trip to the Loch including some lovely family history. 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.

  I arranged this trip for my mum and dad, my brother and his wife and their two dogs. The team were super helpful and friendly over the phone when... read more I made enquiries. Everyone reported back that it was a wonderful trip. The team were friendly and helpful and great with the dogs. They said the scenery was wonderful. I stayed on land with the rest of my family who don't have sea legs but I can't wait to book myself on this trip - definitely something I'll do in the next few months.

  I don't think I have ever seen such beautiful scenery in Scotland absolutely stunning, got on the Misty Isle Boat at Elgol in Skye and took us over Loch Coruisk... read more to a small jetty where we got off for around an hour to explore, on the way over we caught up with a pod of dolphins.

Thanks captain and your son for such a memorable trip I will never forget this and I will be back again.
