Lovely boat trip

A lovely boat trip. Great way to spend several hours seeing Loch Linnhe and the seals. The latters welfare was highly considered. The commentary was interesting and helpful.

Seekand - March 16th, 2025

Fantastic trip

Friday 26/4/24 Seal Island cruise. Superb trip, mainly due to Carl’s commentary which was full of information and made the trip worthwhile. His recommendations for other things to do also add to the trip and gives other ideas for your trip in the area. The scenery was fantastic and added bonus of the seals being out as well which gave chance of terrific photo opportunities. Just a pity there wasn’t more wildlife on show but that’s nature. Two hour trip well worth the cost and fully recommend. Not too overcrowded which meant you could move around the boat for better views.

Solo_Warrior5 - April 27th, 2024

Fun and educational tour

Extremely fun and educational tour. The captain even gave us tips on what we could do, which we were indeed very pleased with. Highly recommended!

Broellie - April 30th, 2024

A must-do, especially in good weather!

We very much enjoyed the cruise despite the showers and cold. In good weather it would have been even more spectacular - the views were great and the experience of floating by the seals in their wild habitat was magical. The skipper told a lot of interesting details about Fort Willam, the area and the wildlife. The hot chocolate was a treat! Highly recommended.
