What an excellent 1/2 day (or option to stay for a full day) outing to the magical hidden Loch Courisk. The skipper and mate were friendly and very informative. Lovely... read more classic boat and trip across Loch Scavaig to see the shortest river in Scotland amist stunning scenery, only accessible otherwise by a very long walk into the Cullins. Would highly recommend, and the seafood shack back ashore with excellent salads and lobster filled rolls!

  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!

  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!

  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.

  This was an absolutely beautiful trip. The skipper and his son were knowledgeable and shared much history. We had 1.5 hours to wander around an island to take... read more pictures and hike if we chose. Our time was mostly free of rain, any hiking would be tough in the rain. We saw 2 schools of seals,sunning them selves on the rocks.

Parking was very tight at the boat launch, so best to arrive early. The drive each direction was single track, and stressful for us, being new to Scotland. But the drive was beautiful also. We would definitely do this activity again.

  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.

  We did the standard three hour trip & it was brilliant. The Mackinnon family were super-welcoming & knowledgeable. The views to the Cuillin are stunning & we were lucky enough... read more to see a school of dolphins close up. The time spent by Loch Coruisk was peaceful & the scenery amazing. Our boys, 5 and 8, loved every minute. Highly recommended.

  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!!
