The boat ride and the view of the Cullins were awesome. However, what we will remember most are the stories told by Seumas MacKinnon and his dad, Sandy. ... read more On the ride to and from the Loch Coruish we saw lots of seals but, unfortunately, no whales today. However, being able to take a gentle hike up to and along the loch and sit overlooking it and the 3,000' peaks in the background was impressive. This trip was one of the highlights of our stay on the Isle of Skye.

  We had a great trip- the crew was wonderful and informative with some captivating stories along the way. We were lucky to see Minke Whales, Porpoises, and of course the... read more very cute seals.
Loch Coruisk is beautiful and quiet- we easily walked around and found areas with few people. The tea/coffee and cookies when getting back on the boat was a really nice surprise!

  We went for a three-hour trip on the Misty Isle and it was excellent. We were a group of 10, with ages ranging from 10 to 70 plus and we... read more all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our hosts were warm and witty, the views spectacular even when the cloud was low, and we saw common seals, a red deer and a colony of shags. Highly recommended!

  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!

  The crew (particularly Seamus and Sandy) was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and entertaining. Service on board was likewise exceptional, including (improbably) coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Crew's expertise operating the boat... read more was top notch!

  Brilliant experience from start to finish. We were lucky with a sunny day and calm waters for our crossing. Really appreciated the wealth of experience from this family business with... read more great stories on the way to Loch Courisk. Trip back made even better by a panad and biscuit and sightings of whales and porpouises. Impressed by the guides taking time to try allow everyone to catch a glimpse of the animals. All round 10/10 experience, Elgol is my new favourite Scottish place!

  Great trip run by a lovely family. Didn’t see any dolphins today but lots of seals. The driver and his son were hilarious. Elgol is very small with very limited... read more parking so get there early

  What a fantastic trip. From the cheery greeting to Kirsty’s info on the boat, to tea, coffee, hot choc and biscuits on the return. But most of all the views.... read more Just wow!
We were doubtful that we wouldn’t freeze but the skipper said we’d have a good day and he was right. As we approached the jetty for Loch Coruisk the wind dropped, sun came out and the water was like glass. Our party of 5, which included our wee dog, had a great time and didn’t want to leave. Stunning scenery. We wished we’d came prepared for a swim. One of our party had a mild physical disability but managed fine with an extra hand on rougher terrain and climbing the stairs. Remember your sun cream, sometimes you need it in Skye!

  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!
