Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a review of the fishing trip run by the same company, on the boat Spirit of Adventure... We had the very best of times, Nick and Dougie were fantastic hosts, company and occasional babysitters for our us and our two boys (5 and 6). We had only 2 hours booked, wish it had been 3 as no one wanted to get off. We chatted, laughed, fished and generally had a bloody good time in stunning scenery and took home the biggest 8 fish of day. Filleted them and banged them on the BBQ in a pan with butter, salt and pepper and ate ourselves silly, overlooking a loch, hell of an end to our holiday, worth every penny. I even saw a seal.

Myself and my sister booked a hour long cruise with the sea probe Atlantis and found ourselves to be the only passengers due to a windy and rainy start to the day.
The crew made us feel very welcome and Jeremy provided some excellent commentary on the wildlife and local landmarks.
The glass bottomed boat was a unique experience and one that we would recommend to anyone. It was the highlight of our trip!

We chartered the Spirit of Adventure for a 2 hour trip and had a really fun time hanging out with the knowledgeable crew who went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. We decided to extend our trip from 2 hrs to 3 hrs. We were a party of 6 adults and x2 children of 3 and 7yrs.
We were given lots of history on the surrounding areas and particularly enjoyed hearing informative stories from Micheal the skipper. Duncan was also very good with the children and showed them how to fish. Owen (7) caught some mackerel line fishing.
We were very lucky to see seals, porpoise as well as an array of birds and fish. We heard porpoise “blowing off” and learned of Saucy Mary and her castle before meeting some lovely local fishermen to buy a lobster for dinner. Good times had by all, the trip was made by the crew who entertained and understood our humour…… we would have stayed longer but needed to head south to complete our trip!
Ps. The lobster dinner was delicious!

We have had an amazing fishing trip on 'Spirit of Adventure'. We went out for 3 hours and caught lots of fish as well as spotting seals, an otter, lots of birds including a sea eagle! The crew made the experience fun and we learnt so much from them about the history of the area and wildlife. My husband and boys have fished before but I'm inexperienced however it was made easy by the crew who were supportive , and I caught the biggest fish! All the fishing equipment was provided. I would recommend this for everyone experienced or not. A great way to see Skye too.

Lovely boat trip with a glass bottom and we were able to watch a shoal of seals playing on the rocks
Apr 2023 • Family
Wonderful boat trip off the Isle of Skye. We chose this boat as we liked the idea of the glass bottom boat, we knew the kids would enjoy this and they certainly did, it was interesting to see the sea from this view, we spotted jelly fish and a few other fish.
The icing on the cake was the seals, we saw a shoal of them on the rocks, they were playing and we saw a few jumping into the water which was pretty spectacular. I’ve never seen seals in the wild so that was an amazing experience for us all, they allowed dogs on board which was another huge plus side for us as we had our dog with us. Our tour guide was extremely informative and told us loads about Skye and the history behind it which was fascinating to hear. Our boys came off buzzing about the trip, as did we, a must do if visiting here,

We loved this trip!
The guide was interesting, friendly and welcoming.
They were responsible at acknowledging social distancing and Covid precautions and all saftey briefs whilst keeping the expirience enjoyable.
The ship was really cool and we loved being in the glass bottom seeing the seafloor.
I wasn't expecting to see sharks or mermaids because this is Scotland and we saw all sorts of fish and other little creatures down there which was cool and the guide explained everything in great and fascinating detail. He even knew all about the seaweed!
Up on deck the views were really nice and we sailed around a bunch of interesting things: an island of seals that we got close to, the wreckage of a sunken ship from the second world war and all sorts.
I think I'm mostly impressed with the knowledge the guide had and how he made everything intersating. He knew loads about everything and his voice carried clearly to everyone.
Even after the tour i chatted with him and bit and he had so much interesting info to share.
It was a lovely wee trip and we all really enjoyed.
Thanks!

Very disappointed, booked 2 hour trip but First 30 minutes were spent sitting in one spot waiting around for 3 groups to take turns to look through glass bottom on boat at the kelp field, 10 mins each group. The trip was detailed as going under the Skye bridge which we did, just, before turning back into the harbour. The shipwreck was like looking at a load of rusty metal sticking out of the sea, none could be seen through the glass as water was too murky. There was no safety briefing upon boarding so had no idea where life jackets were in the unlikely event we should need them. Saw some seals but that was about it. Honestly, would not recommend it, save your money.

Really fun boat trip. We did the 1 hour trip which stays around the area of Kyle of Lochalsh and Kyleakin. We saw lots of seals and a colony of terns and then we went to a shallow water area and went downstairs to see underwater which was great! Loads of seaweed and crabs and fish and a great talk given about the natural environment and ecosystems. Would recommend.

We were looking for something a little different to do on Skye than just miles of driving, and so we took a cruise on the Seaprobe Atlantis out of Kyleakin (it’s the first stop after crossing over Skye Bridge). We opted for the 1-hour cruise and were able to see harbor seals, cruise under Skye Bridge and head downstairs to the boat’s underwater viewing area for sights of all the jellyfish in the shallows. If you want to see more of the coastal Skye sights, you’d want to take the longer cruise option.

Having read the other reviews, we worried that we’d see nothing and that the kids wouldn’t enjoy it - especially as on the day it was rather misty. But as with everything natural in life, it’s a gamble, it wasn’t the most expensive boat trip - and for us it was worth every penny. We didn’t see any dolphins; but saw plenty of other wild life, the sea was rather choppy but the kids really enjoyed it, as did we. The boat was amazing, and the crew were really knowledgeable, we had an experience we wouldn’t have had any other way (even diving you wouldn’t get that view because of the restriction of a mask). There was plenty of sea life visible out of the bottom deck, the seals on the island were perfect, and the sunken ship and salmon farms gave us a chance to explain some history and world science to the kids. Highly recommended and we’d happily come back again for the same tour.
