Bella Jane Boat Trips and its AquaXplore cruises offer sea trips departing from Elgol in high season. The offer is very varied and includes short crossings to Loch Coruisk and Les Cuillin, as well as trips of a few hours or a day to Soay Island and the Small Islands. You should see many marine animals, including seals, and breathtaking scenery. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate or fruit juice are available during the trip. Tours are for a maximum of 40 people.

Island Encounters organises day island wildlife safaris, with Craignure Pier as a meeting point. An alternative location can be arranged if required. Birds of prey, seals and deer are just a few examples of the varied wildlife on the trip. The price includes food and, of course, transport, which is by 8-seater minibus. Tailor-made private visits are also possible, to discover sites or observe specific wildlife areas.

Peter Hall knows his island like the back of his hand and shares his vast knowledge with visitors. He offers day trips from the Craignure ferry terminal or, exceptionally, from the Tobermory ferry terminal. The meeting point is set around 10-10.30 am, before starting the exploration of Mull and its animal population. Sea lions, seals, eagles, deer, dolphins, birds and raptors of all kinds are often present and food and transport are included. Visits are for a maximum of 4 people.

Bird lovers will turn to this organization that offers walks to meet the white-tailed eagles and other birds of prey on the island. The walks are led by knowledgeable rangers in partnership with the Forestry Commission and the RSPB. Events can take place throughout Mull and are advertised on the website. Reservations are compulsory and the starting point of the tour is communicated at that time. Walking shoes, binoculars if possible, and waterproof clothing are recommended.

Whether you are interested in marine wildlife, the scenery of Skye, or a cruise to Rum and Canna, Misty Isle Boat Trips has something for you. Each outing includes a trip through the beautiful Loch Coruisk, in the heart of the Cuillin, and simple shuttles are also available. There are several durations to choose from, depending on your time and budget. Chances are you'll see basking sharks, dolphins, killer whales and rorquals. In the summer, it is even possible to observe puffins, as they nest on Canna Island.
