We travelled with the Misty Isle yesterday for our class trip. We have 19 children in our class and every one of us thought it was excellent. Our class topic... read more has been Vikings and we were very surprised and delighted when the Skipper Sandy and Crew Seumas had dressed up as Vikings for us. We saw porpoise jumping in the water and the Misty Isle hot chocolates were amazing! We also saw lots of seals and they waved at us. The talk about Vikings and Cú Chulainn was very interesting. The walk to the loch was just the right length for our class and we had lots of fun eating our lunch with the lovely view of the mountains and the loch. It was very cool that they spoke some Gaelic to us and at the end we all go to drive the boat as well. Tapadh leibh uile!

  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.

  Great family day out on the Misty Isle to Loch Coruisk. Stunning views on the way out and at the loch. Sandy and Coral were great hosts, informative and entertaining... read more on the history of the area and it's wildlife. We had enough time at the other side to swim in the loch and take a wander up the hill for some cracking views over the loch. Refreshments on the way back and kids even got to steer the boat. The skipper's son Seumas also seen us off and greeted us on our return making a point of speaking to the kids. I would highly recommend this trip.

  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 true family business with genuine historical links. Well run (short but comprehensive safety briefing) and friendly, informative commentary. The trip across to the Loch was especially enjoyable in the... read more full sun and 22 degrees we had on the day ️. Lots of wildlife to see. We chose to hunt down the beaches, after viewing the loch, and found a tiny peace of heaven where we swam alone in crystal waters. As Sandy (the Skipper) told us on the boat, the silence was indeed deafening. It was an incredibly peaceful place. On the return trip, a cuppa and shortbread finger were a welcome treat!

  Excellent experience on our Misty Isle boat ride. Very friendly and nice crew staff, including Sandy! Boat was well outfitted. Scenery was... read more fantastic, and we got close to a seal colony. Nice chance to wander on a remote area.

  Excellent trip, a pleasant trip to the mountain range and back. Coupled with great historical knowledge told by one of the skippers. Breathtaking views, would highly recommend

  Went on a trip with Sandy and Seumas to Loch Coruisk. We saw harbour porpoises and seals on the way as well as many sea birds. It was... read more so educational and informative. The scenery was spectacular. Sandy and Seumas went out of their way to be helpful (if only all businesses were like them!). I definitely recommend their trips. I wish I could have taken home their whole box of home made shortbread though. Yum.

  So special, must do trip on Skye! - We adored our trip to Loch Coruisk! Seumas and Sandy are a hilarious father son duo, we really enjoyed their banter and story telling. We were lucky enough to see... read more a sea eagle flying above us but sadly no dolphins which had been out the previous two days. We went for the standard trip giving us 1.5 hours on land which was just enough with a toddler. She loved seeing the seal colony. All in all a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be back to do it all again. My mum is local and tells me the MacKinnons of Elgol have been doing the boat tours here for generations. Isn’t that lovely. Highly recommend for spectacular scenery, wildlife if you’re lucky and great story telling!
