Skye from the Sea – A Different Experience
Portree Bay Trip
This trip lasts approximately 2 hours and covers up to 12 miles.
Leaving Portree Harbour we sail by the sandy beach at Camus Bhan then on through Portree bay past the old village of Score and into towards the Scarf Caves where there is an abundance of birdlife including Shags, Cormorants, Black Guillemots and Rock Doves to name a few. From here on is the area where we generally encounter the White-Tailed Eagles and the stunning scenery of the Sound of Raasay.
We then sail on to a seal colony off the West side of the Island of Raasay. On the return journey we take in as much of the wildlife that is available on the day with regular sightings of Dolphins and Whales during the summer months.
Please note that this trip is subject to variation depending on sightings and weather conditions. Unfortunately there is no wheelchair accesss for this trip.
