The crew was absolutely lovely and they were also fantastic with my daughter who also got to steer the boat. The hot drink and chocolate biscuit was also a treat. Thank you for a lovely experience. We look forward to coming back and doing it all over again!

  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!

  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.

  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.

  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!

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

  Second time on this trip and it was as good as the first time. Enjoyed the scenery, the story telling, the hot chocolate and the shortbread, and that was just... read more the boat experience, let alone the purpose of the trip Loch Coruisk. Stunning place. Took a picnic and ate it on the banks. An amazing experience from start to finish.

  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.
