As always we’ll start our season at end-April / early-May with cruises towards the Shiant Islands.
Not only are the Shiant Islands an amazing place to visit for the views, but from mid-April till mid-August this location is one of the most important nesting sites for many birds that visit our area during the summer. During a visit you’ll see over thousands of birds including Guillemots, Razorbills, Puffins, Kittewakes and Fulmars. Chances on seeing the great White-tailed Eagle are also very high! The Shiant Islands also houses Grey and Common Seals.
From May onwards we’ll be running more cruises focussed on Whales and Dolphins as their numbers increase in the waters of the North Minch.
We’ll cruise in the open sea of the North Minch towards some feeding grounds and travel routes well known to the Whales and Dolphins. During these cruises we mainly see Minke Whales, Common Dolphins and Harbour Porpoises.
Occasional sightings of other species include: Humpback Whales, Fin Whales, Risso’s Dolphins, White-beaked Dolphins, Killer Whales and Basking Sharks.
Glittering Waters
From Gairloch, we look out over the fringes of the Atlantic Ocean. On the horizon are the misty shapes of the Outer Hebrides. To the South, we see the majestic peaks of the Isle of Skye.
