NEW IN 2026 - SNORKELLING WITH SEALS

Our small-group experiences are designed to be safe, respectful, and hopefully unforgettable. You’ll swim alongside curious seals in their natural habitat while learning about local marine life and Skye’s unique coastal environment.

We hope you, your family and friends are all coping as well as possible during these strange and challenging times.

Sadly due to current guidelines, I don’t believe it’s responsible to continue to run my boat trips - particularly social distancing rules make it very difficult to run trip on a relatively small boat. I therefore made the difficult decision to cancel all my trips for the rest of the 2020 season.

Fingers crossed, I will be up and running again for the season 2021!

I hope you, your family and friends stay healthy over the next few weeks and months!

Another season is over now. Many thanks for all your help throughout the 2019 season!
We will be starting up again in April 2020 once these lovely guys are back - see you soon!

The puffins have left now - still doing the 3 1/2 hours wildlife & whale spotting trips. So far in August we have seen them on most of the trips. It's the best time to see them feeding.

Looks like the pufflings have hatched. The parents are busy feeding them.
