Synopsis: a gentle cruise where we take advantage of the natural shelter of the islands. Walks planned daily. A great time of year for cetaceans plus eagles and some seabirds at sea. Very small possibility of seeing the Northern Lights.

Destination: guests join motor vessel Hjalmar Bjorge at around 1600 on Saturday 8 September in Oban. Our departure shortly thereafter will see us on anchor for our first evening meal aboard. 

The itinerary is dependent on weather - balancing shelter with reaching our preferred destinations - but may include, for example, some of the following places: Mull, the Small Isles (Rum, Canna, Eigg and Muck), the west coast of Skye, the Treshnish Isles, Gometra, Iona, Coll and the Garvellachs, etc. Excellent time of year for cetaceans, plus eagles, a few seabirds and picturesque sunsets. We don't see the Northern Lights very often but when we have done so it has been from late August onwards.

On the final day we head back into Oban for your departure after brunch or lunch on Friday 14 September.
