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.

  Weather seemed to be set fair and we wanted a trip over to Loch Coruist to get a little closer to the magnificent Cuillen ridge. The trip delivered this and... read more much more. Father and son team Sandy and Seamus were excellent, friendly hosts giving us a Gaelic welcome (literally), providing interesting anecdotes about the local history and area and taking us to see a local colony of common seals. There is 90 minutes to amuse yourself and soak in the glorious scenery ( a short 10 min walk away once you reach the destination). Passengers welcomed back with hot refreshments and chocolate biscuit before the journey back. Seamus was excellent with the children on board answering loads of questions in a knowledgeable, patient and friendly way. Those children who wanted even got the opportunity to steer the boat on the way back as an extra treat. Highly recommend this trip.

  We have wanted to do this trip for a while and are so grateful we were finally able to go! It was a gorgeous ride, and all of the... read more staff and crew were kind, knowledgeable, and wonderful -- including easeful booking, weather tracking, story-telling, refreshments on the way back, and loving my pup along for the adventure! As is always true with Isle of Skye, the views were stunning. Loch Coruisk is breathtaking, and we highly recommend taking the longer trip. We were the only ones who did and had the 3 hour walk around the loch to ourselves to experience.

Thank you Misty Isle Boat Trips!

You recieve a warm welcome when you arrive to get your tickets and the father & son team provide an... read more informative funny commentary on the boat trip to the Loch including some lovely family history.

  I don't think I have ever seen such beautiful scenery in Scotland absolutely stunning, got on the Misty Isle Boat at Elgol in Skye and took us over Loch Coruisk... read more to a small jetty where we got off for around an hour to explore, on the way over we caught up with a pod of dolphins. Boat took us back over to Elgol and lovely hot chocolate and shortbread was handed out by the crew, if ever in Skye please book this boat trip you are in for a treat. Thanks captain and your son for such a memorable trip I will never forget this and I will be back again.

  We took the Misty Isle boat trip to Loch Coruisk on Friday. It’s a beautiful trip. Sandy and Seamus shared interesting stories about the history of the area and the... read more wildlife. They pointed out a white tailed sea eagle, and we passed a seal colony too.
The walk up to Loch Coruisk only takes 10/15 mins and the views are fabulous from there towards the Cuillin ridge. Highly recommend this trip.
On our way back up the road from Elgol we parked up and walked into Camasunary. I’d recommend this too as the views are staggering.
It was a fab day out.

  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!

  We booked the standard trip on our tenth wedding anniversary, sadly the weather wasn’t so kind with rain showers and increasing winds. Sandy and Seamus were running the trip and... read more were very helpful, friendly and interesting with stories and pointing out things to see.
We saw Guilletmots, Razorbills, Common Seals and had a glimpse of a Golden Eagle as we made our way up to the loch. Getting on and off the boat is easy and the walk to the loch is short, although walking boots or wellies are a must.
We had an amazing trip to this special place, and Sandy and Seamus really made everyone feel welcome. Thoroughly recommended!

  Super friendly and helpful team. Everything from booking the trip , to getting us there and back was friendly and efficient. You even get a hit drink on the return... read more trip to warm yourself up.
