Saw pods of dolphins that followed and played with the boat, and a few minky whales here and there. Also saw plenty of birdlife. The scenery was stunning. The boat operators were actively spotting wildlife and pointing it out to us, as well as driving towards them for closer looks. All in all, you can't go wrong with this 1 hour boat ride!

1hr wildlife cruise, we lucked out with great weather. We saw a Sea Eagle pretty close, dolphins and seals. Really recommend it, the crew are great, even let us use their binoculars to get a closer look at the Sea Eagle. Our dog had a blast too :)

Travelled with Western Isle Cruises as part of a October holiday visit and camp at Inverie. Firstly the ticket office staff were really helpful in showing us where our ferry was leaving from -ahead of time. Didn't need to worry about showing our ticket as the staff where prepared and had our details for departure, ferry staff where super helpful with getting luggage on and off at each end. And it was dog friendly! Winner!

Very enjoyable trip. A great way to spend my birthday. Saw some seals chilling on a wee island. Then saw some Minky Whales. Think they came out especially for my birthday 😀 Jane and Alex were definitely the best crew we could’ve wished for. They were absolutely fantastic, and made the trip so much better. I will definitely be back and I’ll 100% be recommending this to everyone I know. Thank you everyone for such a wonderful experience.

Fantastic service, took time to call me to review my booking, refunded me for part of a trip that I cancelled when I didn't expect a refund, allowed myself and my companion on an earlier ferry coming out of inverie making our homeward bound trip so much better , the whole experience has been excellent. The value for money for the malaig to inverie trip is brilliant and oh those views when travelling over are worth the payment alone. Thank you to the whole team for a wonderful experience

This was a fabulous, fun and interesting adventure. Lovely staff on land as well as on board. Plenty to see in the sea and good to have a short stop at Canna Island too. The beach cove is stunning, only wished I'd taken my swimsuit for a quick dip! Plenty of wildlife, sealife and birds. Saw a Viking port, extinct volcanos and white beaches of course. So glad we booked the trip and even better that the cost is affordable, not inflated. Thank you to the whole team very well worthy of 5 stars! Sadly I can't upload my dolphin videos but so of our memories. Thank you

We had a wonderful trip from Mallaig to Laverie to spend a little time hiking on the trails. Very friendly crew who showed us a great show of common dolphins playing in the water. They took the time to follow the pod and we could take ample photos and videos.

We used the ferry from Mallaig to Knoydart. Daily trip for the crew. Bread n butter, yet they were polite, kind to all, and professional in all situations. They even alerted us to the dolphins on both journeys which made all the folks young n old super excited. This crew made an ordinary daily trip feel extra ordinary. Plus the boat is just gorgeous. Thank you guys. We will definitely book some wildlife cruise with you next time we are in the area.
