Set sail with SkyeXplorer Boat Trips for an exceptional journey into the heart of Skye's marine wildlife. Based in the scenic north of Skye, these boat trips offer a close encounter with the charming puffins and playful seals, and if fortune favours, majestic whales and eagles too.

From Uig, join our 90-minute tours to the Ascrib Islands, a haven for puffins during their breeding season from May to July. Here, you are guaranteed sightings of these colourful birds, affectionately known as the "clowns of the ocean" or "sea parrots" due to their striking plumage and comical appearance. These tours don’t just promise a glimpse of puffins but also provide stunning views of the protected islands where they breed.

For those keen on larger marine life, our 3½ hour whale-watching tours run from June to September, offering the chance to spot these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. The trips are timed to coincide with the peak season for whales in the region, enhancing your chances of sightings.

Additionally, our Kilt Rock, Waterfall & Seal trips departing from Staffin are perfect for exploring the northeastern part of the Trotternish peninsula. This 90-minute journey takes you along the spectacular Jurassic cliffs, including the famous Kilt Rock and its nearby stunning waterfall, perfect for capturing memorable photos. On the return, cruise alongside the cliffs of Flodigarry Island to visit the resident grey and common seals.

Whether you're sheltered within the comfortable confines of SkyeXplorer II or braving the Scottish breeze on deck, we recommend dressing warmly and wearing waterproofs. Each trip with SkyeXplorer is not just a voyage but a gateway to the enchanting world of Skye’s wildlife, filled with educational tidbits and breathtaking scenery, ensuring every outing is as informative as it is thrilling.
