What's this trip about?

    The Island of Mull is outstanding for its natural environment and remarkable range of wildlife. The itinerary takes in many wilderness areas which are very scenic as well as providing the best opportunity to see as many species as possible. A full day trip on land is included to extend the range of wildlife seen. Anchorages are chosen for their tranquillity and natural habitat. A major highlight on the April, May and June cruises is the proximity of nesting puffins and other seabirds on the offshore islands while September provides a good chance of spotting basking sharks and whales. Porpoises, dolphins, otters, white-tailed and golden eagles and many other bird species can be spotted at any month of the season.

Travel Map

Typical stopovers and anchorages:

Loch Spelve
: Anchor in Loch Spelve on Mull, well known for sighting otters, with the opportunity to take a shore walk under a canopy of ancient oak forest. White-tailed eagles are frequently seen circling on the hills behind the loch

Tobermory
: Go ashore for a woodland walk with some spectacular waterfalls in Aros Park, home to a variety of woodland birds. Visit the shag colony at the waterfall in the harbour

Land Trip on Mull
: Take a full day land trip with wildlife guide David Woodhouse to be taken to the places where the wildlife can be seen while gaining in-depth knowledge from an expert

Lunga
: Go ashore to get close to nesting puffins and other birds from April to July.  Puffins have a relaxed attitude to humans – they seem to know that having people near the nests prevents predation by gulls

Ulva and Gometra
: An idyllic anchorage between the isles of Ulva and Gometra where seals, red deer and feral goats can be viewed from the boat.  On shore, sightings of white-tailed eagles and peregrine falcons are frequent

Fingal’s Cave
: Take a trip into Fingal’s Cave on Staffa in the boat tender for an unforgettable view of the rock formations; the isle is also a haven for wildlife

Iona
: Dolphins are often seen in Iona sound and the elusive corncrake is often heard.  A visit to the Abbey is an opportunity not to be missed
