Sea Wildlife Adventure with Seaskye Tours on Skye

Duration: 2 hours

Our 2 hour tour takes you into the Inner Hebridean Sea giving you stunning views of the Cuillins, Skye, Outer Hebrides and Raasay. This trip is for all ages and dog friendly.

We head around the high cliffs of the sound and along the coast. Heading into he deeper waters which are often rich in wildlife, sea birds, Sea eagles and Golden Eagles are a regular here along with seals and otters. Dolphins and Porpoises are often seen feeding or enjoying the wakes of the vessels.

Spending two hours away from the busy roads on and on the water is a great experience and way to explore Skye. We'll share history and local knowledge along the way too.

Highlights

Our interactions with wildlife on the trip are often plentiful but some days we dont see as much as we would like. Please consider this when booking with expectation, sadly wildlife isnt always a guarantee but we will though try our best for the best experience.

With the diverse ecology of Skye and the west coast of Scotland. we often see, Dolphins, Porpoises and even have sightings of leather back turtles!
