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!

  This trip was the highlight of a fabulous few days in Skye. It's a family-run business, and the father and son who took us out were friendly, knowledgeable and relaxed,... read more pointing out a fist-sized puffin, seals, and oyster catchers. The drive to Elgol felt quite long, but 100% worth it. It's not explicitly a wildlife tour, so we didn't do this to tick things off a list, but we saw lots we wouldn't have otherwise got to see. We were left to explore the peninsula for ages so had plenty of time immersed in the landscape, without coming across any other people. Absolutely stunning.

  Excellent trip! Knowledgable Skipper who gave a very entertaining and informarive talk on the way to Coruisk Loch. We saw a colony of seals and some harbour porpoises which were... read more an added bonus.We took our dog with us who was madw very welcome. There are some metal steps at the landing stage which our dog ( a labrador) was scared of climbing. Seamus, a crew member, offered to carry her up them! Coruisk Loch is beauriful, surrounded by the Cuillin Mountains. We had 90 minutes to explore which was only just long enough. It is possible to book for a longer time on shore if you want. On the return journey to Elgol harbour we were served complimentary drinkks and delicious shortbread. A great trip!

  An outstanding day on the best experience, possibly in the UK. From the great lady on the phone, to the lovely reception to the exceptionally nice Father & son crew.... read more Knowledgable and nothing too much bother, with dolphins, seals and seabirds seen, then time to explore and see the Loch then tea and shortbread on the way back, with more Dolphin detours. The highlight of our trip to Skye and great value for money, but the 2 chaps on the boat were brilliant. A very memorable day.

  Would highly recommend Misty Isle Boat Trips. Very friendly staff, with great local knowledge. Had a fantastic trip to the Loch, and the skipper even treated us to a Welsh... read more song when we told him we were from Wales!

  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.

  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.

  We did this 20 years ago and it was pleasing to see that the same excellent and family service prevailed.

The views speak for themselves so this trip adds to it. A warm drink and shortbread welcomes you back on board once time has been spent by Loch Coruisk or up on the outcrops gorging on the breathtaking vistas. A must for anyone wanting that up close experience with these amazing mountains without the climbing.

  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.

  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
