August - September Trips leaving from Staffin
£42 children - £55 adult
​
Join us on our North of Skye Highlights trip, featuring the iconic Kilt Rock and offering even more opportunities for adventure and wildlife encounters. Alongside taking in the dramatic cliffs of Kilt Rock and watching seals in their natural habitat, this special excursion carries you farther into open waters.
Our journey extends beyond the usual route to a remarkable underwater seamount, an oceanic hotspot where dolphins and whales are frequently seen feeding during the peak months of August to October. This deepwater feeding ground draws an incredible variety of marine life, giving you hopefully the exciting chance to witness these majestic creatures in their natural environment.
​
While wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, our experienced skipper will be keeping a sharp lookout to give you the best possible opportunity.
​
Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast, an avid photographer, or simply eager to experience the raw beauty of the sea, this extended trip offers unforgettable moments and a deeper connection to the marine world of the Scottish Highlands.
​
2 1/2 hours round trip, non-landing, leaving from Staffin Harbour on SkyeXplorer 2.
