We've just returned from a great wee trip to Loch Courisk on the Maid of Courisk. Our Skipper, James was great fun and both he and the entire crew (Helen)... read more couldn't do enough for their passengers. Nightly recommended!
The staff at the tiet office are veaff at the ticket office are helpful and efficient , but leave plenty of time to get a parking place at the harbour in peak times or you'll face an uphill hike to the village. It's worth it though!

  We were a little hesitant as the sea looked rough! However, we had an amazing trip from Elgol to Loch Coruisk last week. Stunning views, great commentary with lots of... read more interesting details about the other islands and island life. The seals were bathing on the rocks as we neared the mooring point which was a highlight. We were allocated 30 minutes to walk around the loch (we chose the short trip) which is plenty of time but we chose to linger by the River and enjoy the solitude. Back on board we were offered tea, coffee or hot chocolate and of course - shortbread before making the short journey back to Elgol. This trip is an absolute must made extra special by the Misty Isles "crew" both on sea and land. Our trip lasted about an hour and a half at a cost of £25. Money well spent for a very enjoyable day in Elgol. Thank you everyone at Misty Isle Boat Trips. Visit the shop at the top of the hill too for coffee, cake, gifts and warm hospitality.

  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

  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.

  Leave yourself plenty time to get there. The road becomes excitingly single about five miles from Elgol, so take your time. The Misty Isles guides were helpful and pleasant and... read more the journey there and back to Loch ... can't pronounce or spell ... was good fun. Saw amazing amount of Seals and possibly two sea Eagles. Clearly at different times of the year you'd see other sea creatures. Dogs are permitted .... children too. Landing at the base of the Cuillins was breathtaking. Watch your time once you are there. You'd not want to be left behind in error.

  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

  Fantastic experience, sandy and Seamus were fantastic, very interesting stories about the local culture, the loch was beautiful and picturesque.

  This was such a delightful surprise -- the boat trip with information about the surrounding area and a beautiful hike once we landed in the Black Cullins. We saw seals... read more lazing about and enjoyed tea on the way home. The perfect way to see more of the Isle of Skye than from land. Definitely recommend. Have lunch at the top of the hill in Elgol before or after your trip (from the little air streamer).

We had children, from 7 - 11, with us and they ran around once arriving, having a blast around the rocky shore of the loch. We also had my parents with us and they were able to do the "hike" easily too. They just did not go as far as the kiddos. There was a series of stepping stones that could be taken to a longer hike, but our crew did not do that.

  Amazing boat trip, both Sandy and his son Seamus were very knowledgeable of the geography and the history of the surrounding islands and knew where to find wildlife. Some passengers... read more saw porpoises and saw a whole pod of Dolphins on the way back some even saw a potential minke whale. We were dropped on a beautiful bay by the Cuillins and were a short walk from Loch Coruisk which was beautiful. We had beautiful weather and were also shown a common seal colony with a grey seal in the mix. We were offered hot drinks and biscuits on the return journey. All in all could not have asked for a better trip. Thank you!!
