Great cruise - Quite a leisurely trip we enjoyed seeing the seal's. The commentary was very informative. The booking system was a bit chaotic. Recommend Anyone else to keep your card receipt

Fabulous cruise - Fantastic cruise with very informative commentary from the skipper and lovely crew. All the interesting sights around the loch were pointed out along with a silent cruise around the seals

Brilliant cruise especially to see the seals and the grey elephant on a clear and beautiful day - I took this cruise as I had a spare afternoon in Fort William and I am so glad I did. I was able to see the seals and most importantly, Ben Nevis especially its shape of grey elephant from a particular point on the cruise.

Wonderful cruise - Beautiful way to see the loch linnhe and so much information given by the skipper who was great, very engaging with the kids. Helped that the weather was dry & the sun was shinning. The highlight was how close we got to the seals & on my husband birthday too😍

Fantastic Experience - The whole family enjoyed this trip, and the staff on the boat were very helpful (George & Jenny possibly, sorry if that's wrong) and super knowledgeable about the area. The teas, coffees, juices, and snacks were a lovely touch (extra charge but not expensive). Seal Island was the highlight for us. Great day, thank you 😊

Informative trip with beautiful views - Gorgeous views, even on a grey day. The commentary was live, engaging and informative. One of the best boat trips I have been on. I loved the focus on wildlife, and the care the team took to ensure the wildlife was not disturbed.
