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!

  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.

  Fabulous trip thanks to the Misty Isle's team- sensational guiding and storytelling from our skipper and his son, who were both informative and funny in their tales of dolphins, seals... read more (both of which we saw), eagles, and four day warrior battles. It was also great to get onto the shore for a good walk- amazing scenery and some terrifying stepping stones.

  Amazing trip! - I ended up in this beach because of the Spar Cave near there, but since I was there I did the boat trip and it couldn’t be better! The reception... read more was wonderful, I loved the service offered by the family who runs the business and, especially, I loved the views! The Cuillin Hills are amazing! You will not regret to go on this trip.

  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.

  Fabulous boat trip, stunning views and great hospitality.
Even carried my very nervous Labrador off the boat up some steep steps!
Thank you Sandy and crew for a brilliant... read more day.

  A true family business with genuine historical links. Well run (short but comprehensive safety briefing) and friendly, informative commentary. The trip across to the Loch was especially enjoyable in the... read more full sun and 22 degrees we had on the day ️. Lots of wildlife to see. We chose to hunt down the beaches, after viewing the loch, and found a tiny peace of heaven where we swam alone in crystal waters. As Sandy (the Skipper) told us on the boat, the silence was indeed deafening. It was an incredibly peaceful place. On the return trip, a cuppa and shortbread finger were a welcome treat!

  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. Boat took us back over to Elgol and lovely hot chocolate and shortbread was handed out by the crew, if ever in Skye please book this boat trip you are in for a treat. Thanks captain and your son for such a memorable trip I will never forget this and I will be back again.
