Took the children and our dog on a boat trip to Loch Coruisk in August 2021, Sandy the Skipper and his son Seamus were so welcoming and friendly, great tour... read more and info of the surrounding areas. Amazing walk around the Loch when you get off the boat, not for the elderly or those with mobility problems as the ground is uneven at the other end, but a fantastic hike around the loch with stunning views, it's well worth the trip.

Take a picnic, there are no toilets when you get to Loch Coruisk and the toilets in Elgol are at the top of the village before you drive down to the jetty where you get the boat - so make sure you stop there if you have kids before hopping on! Lovely little coffee kiosk was open selling nice coffees, ice creams and sea food salads, great to get snacks before and after the trip.

This is a family business and one we are so glad we supported.

  Fabulous trip to Coruisk with a skipper and crew who were armed with local knowledge and folklore

  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!

  From start to finish this boat trip was brilliant. The crew couldn’t do enough for us (including carrying our Golden Retriever on and off the boat). We were fortunate enough... read more to see a whale, seals and two eagles! Once we arrived at Loch Coruisk we were blown away by the scenery. We can’t recommend this boat trip enough. We will definitely be back!

  This boat trip is absolutely excellent and we really enjoyed it despite rather unpredictable weather. We were treated to close up views of the very large seal colony before our... read more stop off to walk up to the loch. The staff were absolutely lovely and friendly. The hot chocolate and biscuits were a lovely unexpected treat. The dog also enjoyed himself! Afterwards we had delicious lobster rolls from the nearby snack hut -never had these before but definitely want them again!

  The interaction with the skipper and his crew was great! Very nice folks, shared a lot of information with us with great enthusiasm!

  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!

  We rolled up at the quayside, met with a hearty islander greeting and boarded the boat for the quick jaunt across to Loch Coruisk. A wee dander round the inlet... read more where we saw a seal colony basking in the sun (I know, sun in the isles!). We then went across and docked so we could start our walk. The sights were beyond belief, gorgeous water, the Cuillins and just a calm, peaceful place to walk. We returned to the boat after 90 minutes and were given a hot drink for the return trip. Only downside being the midges (bring your spray) but what is the west coast without them? Definitely do it again next year.

  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!!
