Seafari Adventures, Isle of Seil

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. All the equipment you could need is provided, waterproofs, warm gloves and hats, binoculars too. We saw seals, deer on some of the small islands and lots of different bird life and a sea eagle nest. Would recommend it to anyone and would gladly go back again.

The staff were all great - friendly and good at spotting wildlife. There was no whirlpool activities on our outing. We saw a few seals, deer -- including some huge stags on several islands, some birds include sea eagles and their nest. They provided waterproofs, gloves, hats, binoculars for everyone. The staff also gave us history on the local slate quarries as well.

Absolutely the best 2 hours I've had on a boat Omg and the wild life we saw was amazing seals 2 type of dear Golden Eagle, White tailed sea Eagle to name but a few

We went on the 3 hour Whales and Wildlife trip aboard a boat called the Celtic Adventurer. Our skipper and our guide Lydia were both fabulous - many thanks to them for a most enjoyable experience. The whales stayed away for the most part sadly despite have been spotted just the evening prior; we thought we did catch sight of a tail fin a couple of times but that was about all. However we would go on this trip again anytime - the harbour porpoises that we spotted (mum and calf twinning in the water), gannets, shags which as a species go back 140 million years, common seals in a variety of colours, and the billion-year-old islands dotted about, all made the trip more than worthwhile. Beautiful part of the world which it was a privilege to see thanks to Seafari. We have toured with them before and we will again. Best of luck Lydia with your PhD!

This boat trip is great fun, informative and great value for money. Staff are great - couldn't have done anymore to ensure we knew where we were going - even checking in on us as one of the roads into Oban was closed. On board the boat, the commentary was relaxed and conversational with the opportunity to ask questions - we were fascinated with the waves crashing in from the Atlantic and the various currents. If you are specifically wanting to see the whirlpool, call ahead as this is dependent on the tides. We were lucky enough to see seals, stags and gizzard. The scenery is absolutely stunning. It's a bumpy ride and prepared to be splashed - all part of the fun if it. We loved it and would definitely do it again.
