This was a brilliant trip to start off our holiday on Skye. Lots of seals and other wildlife to see and a great walk from the landing spot to see... read more wonderful views over Loch Coruisk in the heart of the Cuillins.
Young Seumas was a hero to lift our not-very-nimble dog on and off the boat - we were so grateful and impressed!

  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.

  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!

  We have just returned from our visit to Skye and the Misty Isle Boat trip was a true highlight. Sandy MacKinnon and his first mate were the best --... read more So engaging and entertaining! Sandy even let the children take a turn "driving" It was a wonderful experience and one I would highly recommend.

  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!

  Fantastic day/half-day out to the heart of the Cuillins. Take a stroll around (part of) Loch Coruisk and go for a swim in it - refreshing! The boat... read more crew are great - Sandy, Seamus and Coral. The family's been there for generations, and they have lots of entertaining stories to share. Highly recommended. They do several drop-offs during the day - take a boatload over, bring the previous ones back, take another over etc ... This gives you about 90 minutes, which go very quickly. If you want to do a bit of a walk, have a swim or just hang around and soak in the place, go before the last sailing (~2pm) and let them know you'd like to take a later return rather than take the next trip back.

  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!

  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!

  We had a great time on the three hour tour to Loch Coruisk. Our skipper was Sandy and he was funny, super knowledgeable and kind. We told us fun facts... read more about the area, some folklore and also took us by some wildlife spottings. The Loch is a beautiful and remote area, it was very cool to get off the boat and do a short walk. We had about 90 minutes to explore. Once back on the boat, we had hot tea and shortbread waiting for us! That was nice, especially since we had a rainy trip out to the Loch.

Well worth a trip, we really had a great time!
