What an amazing experience. I wasn’t expecting much to be honest as, in my experience, wildlife often doesn’t show up on demand but Noel and Karl were obviously very experienced and knew what they were looking for. The weather was good so they pushed the extent of the trip to its limits following Gannets in the hope that they’d lead us to something. We encountered a large pod of 10-12 dolphins as well as a humpback or fin whale which moved around the ship surfacing 3 or 4 times alongside the dolphins. The whole encounter lasted around half an hour - totally amazing. Ive never seen anything like it in my life - just brilliant. On top of this Noel gave a-lot of historical information about the local area on the journey to and from The Summer Isles in a relaxed and comical style - he’s great at the chat that one - all in all a priceless afternoon that I’ll never forget. Thanks guys.

Brilliant , the guy narrating knew his stuff and had a good idea where the dolphins , porpoises and Minkie whale would be . We saw them all and sea birds, a good way to spend two hours, Can’t rate it highly enough if you are anywhere near Ullapool this is a must.

Oh what a great day. We saw a large pod of dolphins, a sea eagle, many birds and seals and learned a lot about the area. Hugely knowledgable guide who shared information with humour . Loved it

Great trip today. Noel was very welcoming and provided entertaining and informative commentary. Saw seals, porpoises, gannets and 3 Sean eagles which was amazing. It had been a very wet morning but brightened up after about 15 mins of leaving so got some amazing views. Very well worth the money and thoroughly enjoyable.

We enquired about the trip in advance and was given loads of help by Annette provisionally booking a trip. In the afternoon of our visit. We had to change last minute Annette promptly came back to me and we sorted a morning trip. We got to meet her at the booking office she was as lovely in person. The trip itself was excellent really don’t think about not doing this if your there and have time. The bit was spacious clean and modern it had a toilet (important if you’ve got little ones!) and lots of different locations to view the amazing scenery. We had the most spectacular time with dolphins - really special seeing baby dolphins and all so close almost to touch - and saw an sea eagle, seals and loads of bird life. We got a
Real sense of commitment to environment and history of the place too.
