First visit to Elgol and we had the pleasure of taking one of the Misty Isle boats out for a tour of Loch Coruisk and the Cuillins. The boat itself... read more was clean and had facilities if needed. The staff (Coral and Sandy) were extremely pleasant and the skipper really added to the trip with his stories of local history and interesing facts about the area. The scenery was gorgeous and plenty of time given for a nice walk around the loch before we made the trip back.
Highly recommend this tour and will be bringing friends and family on it in the future. Tapadh leat!

  Arrived early, thanks to some insider information we received from Stuart at Skye Luxury Tours. He suggested we arrive early so we could explore Honeycomb rock and the beach area... read more near the boat launch. (See photos).

After beach exploration, we met Carol at the landing and she was friendly and helpful. Sandy and Shamus tied up the boat and gathered everyone up for a three hour excursion. We set out excited to see some wildlife and scenic views.

We saw some porpoises, dolphins, harbor seals, a number of sea birds and a couple of minke whales. I was only able to catch a few in pictures, but it was a great day. During the ride, Shamus shared stories and information about the area and wildlife. Sandy remained focused on finding the wildlife and positioning the boat so everyone could get a view. Great teamwork and their experience was obvious.

One of the great aspects of the Misty Isle, was that she sat so low in the water. You were just above the waterline, so it was much easier to see whatever was swimming in the water around the boat!

Loved this tour and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

  An outstanding day on the best experience, possibly in the UK. From the great lady on the phone, to the lovely reception to the exceptionally nice Father & son crew.... read more Knowledgable and nothing too much bother, with dolphins, seals and seabirds seen, then time to explore and see the Loch then tea and shortbread on the way back, with more Dolphin detours. The highlight of our trip to Skye and great value for money, but the 2 chaps on the boat were brilliant. A very memorable day.

  This was one of the highlights of our trip in Scotland whilst we were doing the nc500. The boat trip is well worth it and makes it possible to appreciate... read more the beauty of Skye. 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!

  After a great trip with Mistry Isles last year, we returned for another with friends and took our pooch along too. Loved it just as much as the first time!... read more The stories were very entertaining with friendly, welcoming service from the skipper and his wingman! The views and photo opportunities throughout the trip are spectacular. Definitely a must do while visiting the Isle of Skye.

  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

  An amazing experience. The boat ride and narrative were great and the walk was beautiful. Elgol was also a cute place to visit and the community were friendly.

  We did this 20 years ago and it was pleasing to see that the same excellent and family service prevailed.
An intimate boat which gives great opportunity to be given... read more all the local history as well as spotting the sealife in a humorous fashion. The views speak for themselves so this trip adds to it. A warm drink and shortbread welcomes you back on board once time has been spent by Loch Coruisk or up on the outcrops gorging on the breathtaking vistas. A must for anyone wanting that up close experience with these amazing mountains without the climbing.

  We rolled up at the quayside, met with a hearty islander greeting and boarded the boat for the quick jaunt across to Loch Coruisk. A wee dander round the inlet... read more where we saw a seal colony basking in the sun (I know, sun in the isles!). We then went across and docked so we could start our walk. The sights were beyond belief, gorgeous water, the Cuillins and just a calm, peaceful place to walk. We returned to the boat after 90 minutes and were given a hot drink for the return trip. Only downside being the midges (bring your spray) but what is the west coast without them? Definitely do it again next year.
