Enjoyed the informative and humorous guide from helpful crew (Sandy and Seamus). It was good to see the seals. Loch Coriusk was beautiful. This is a great family business that... read more really makes the day special, with lots of local connections to Bonnie Prince Charles (cave) and Drambuie (recipe). Hot choc and biscuit was a welcome bonus.
In addition, Roderick kindly guided me around the bogs to see the cave where Bonnie Prince Charlie was hidden prior to him fleeing back to France.
A great day, I really recommend this trip with Misty Isle Boat Trips

  An unforgettable experience! The crew and staff are very nice. The trip was made short with funny stories and the seals and Loch Coruisk were worth the trip alone, but... read more the highlight was that we went an extra round to see a minke whale. The encounter remains unforgettable. Thank you Sandy and Seamus for this great experience!

  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.

  We have wanted to do this trip for a while and are so grateful we were finally able to go! It was a gorgeous ride, and all of the... read more staff and crew were kind, knowledgeable, and wonderful -- including easeful booking, weather tracking, story-telling, refreshments on the way back, and loving my pup along for the adventure! As is always true with Isle of Skye, the views were stunning. Loch Coruisk is breathtaking, and we highly recommend taking the longer trip. We were the only ones who did and had the 3 hour walk around the loch to ourselves to experience.

Thank you Misty Isle Boat Trips!

  If you are in Skye you have to do this boating trip. The boating trip is amazing and the staff is even great. It is a family run business, and... read more they simply make you feel welcomes like you're at home.
The trip is absolutely worth its time and money, you can see the seals, fish , waterfall. Its so brilliant. I loved it so much that i had to go back. The boating crew also welcomes you back with a hot drink and biscuits. Very friendly people.

  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.

  Have been wanting to do this trip for some time and was not disappointed. We left on the 9:15am boat and had it to ourselves. The local surroundings, history and... read more nature was explained. Saw seals and watched the two pilot whales in the bay. Walked around Loch Coruisk and had time to relax and watch the whales again in the sun. Hot drinks and biscuits served on the boat on the way back. Fantastic day out, thank you .

  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!

  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!
