We were extremely fortunate to see a pod of harbour porpoises (small dolphins) on our way to Loch Coruisk.
Our boat crew of Sandy & his son were excellent guides,... read more explaining the history of both the Cuillin mountains and Elgol.
A very enjoyable trip after our Queen Elizabeth's funeral

  We took the 11.15am boat from Elgol to Loch coruisk and returned on the 4.30pm boat. The boat across takes its time to allow you to see landmarks, seals and... read more we were lucky enough to see Pilot Whales. The crew pointed out lots of interesting things and were happy to answer questions. We arrived around 12.30pm and walked round Loch coruisk which took us around 2.5-3 hours. We had time to relax before returning, arriving back in Elgol around 5pm. The tea and biscuits on the boat back is a very nice touch.

  We booked the Misty Isle boat trip because we had family visitors (We live in Broadford and had been before). Boy are we glad that we did because like previous... read more reviews we were privileged to see the pod of dolphins. Sandy (ship's captain) steered the boat to the perfect spot and we were able to observe the adults and babies up close..... what a magical experience for everyone on board. Then we motored to Loch Coruisk where we spent around an hour and a half surrounded by spine tingling scenery. Sandy and Seumas took great care of the humans and doggy passengers, helping to carry the dogs up/down the landing steps. On the return journey Seumas regaled us with factual and mythical stories....... very talented young man. A fantastic experience and one I would highly recommend if you have time!!

  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.

  What a fantastic trip, the skipper and his crew were very informative and enthusiastic and even gave us a hot drink and biscuit when we were onboard! The trip itself... read more is well worth it, we were very lucky and managed to see dolphins, seals, porpoise and northern gannets diving into the water. Would 100% go back to swim in the loch as it is beautiful

  This was now our second trip with the Misty Isle Boat and her lovely crew, we cannot recommend it enough! The skipper and his son are lovely and have eagle... read more eyes for spotting wildlife. We were able to see dolphins, porpoises, pilot whales, seals and countless birds thanks to them! The walk around loch coruisk at the other side is beautiful, we would definitely recommend the 3hr trips to give you plenty of time to explore.

  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.

  What a fantastic experience! Seamus' storytelling and humour, some of the most dramatically beautiful scenery in the world in Loch Coruisk, seals and a large pod of dolphins - amazing!

  A must do experience, a great crew, great trip out to the beautiful Loch Coruisk, you not only learn about the history of the place but maybe lucky enough to... read more see wildlife in their natural surroundings,( porpoises, dolphins, seals as well as ample bird life) Father & son team are wonderful, looking after everyone on board, (that includes your fur babies!) kids even got a go at being captain ( that included my Kermit) we were all spoilt with a hot drink & biscuit once back on board after having plenty of time to soak up the scenery around the Loch. Would do again. and again
