Puffin on a rock on Lunga at the Treshnish Isles by Sarah BarryWe hope to have encounters with a wide variety of cetaceans, birds and mammals, undisturbed in their natural habitats. You don't need to be any kind of expert to enjoy these encounters. The skipper's knowledge is abundant and ever-increasing and many of our guests are a wonderful source of information too. 

Our aim is to offer rewarding experiences which have a low-impact on the environment. Mark and Hannah are both WiSe (wildlife safe) accredited and we follow a strict Code of Conduct when it comes to human interaction with the natural environment striving to balance the needs and wants of our customers with the realities of the places we visit, some of which are fragile, wild locations.
