Essential information

Please read our essential information before travelling.

Be aware that tours may be cancelled in the event of unsuitable wind and sea conditions, in which case, we would book you onto a tour the following day, where possible. Read our cancellation policy for full details.

You don’t have to book in advance. You are welcome to simply come to the marina and, if there is space on the boat, you can join a tour. Of course, it’s possible the tour may be fully booked so there is no guarantee you will be able to board in this case.

* Departure location – Please note that when you book, the confirmation details you receive erroneously include a Kylesku postcode. Please ignore this – the tour departs from the marina in Lochinver harbour, postcode IV27 4JP.*

All photos were taken by crew aboard our boats, except for the dolphin images which were contributed by a passenger, A.J. Taylor
