Kilt Rock, Dolphin/Whale spotting – Staffin Harbour
£42 children - £55 adult (2 1/2 hours)
Our journey ventures beyond the usual route to a remarkable underwater seamount—an oceanic hotspot where dolphins and whales are often spotted feeding during the peak season from August to October. This deep-water feeding ground attracts a variety of marine life, offering you the thrilling possibility of witnessing these majestic creatures in their natural environment.
Although wildlife encounters can’t be guaranteed, our knowledgeable skipper will be keeping a keen eye out to give you the best possible chance.
Trips can book out a few weeks in advance. To avoid disappointment I recommend to book your places as early as possible.
