Of course, seals are the young children's favourite, and they also love driving the boat and the easy childishness of Gordon the skipper! Add to that drop-offs, go ashore and explore, sunsets ceilidhs, castaway days, family-friendly trips, fishing and there is a great value trip to suit everyone. The full range of trips are detailed on our website with sailing times and a huge picture gallery of wildlife sightings too. With over 30 years experience at sea locally nobody knows the ‘nooks and crannies’ like we do and with a passion for wildlife and a warm Highland welcome, our visitors frequently tell us ‘we’ve done the rest and you’ve been best!’

We hope to meet you soon for an adventure at sea!

FIGHTING BONXIES
During our recent survey week, we had a few opportunistic seabirds following us. We reckon they mistook the survey ROV umbilical for fishing gear and were waiting on bycatch dinner! A couple of Bonxies were amongst the most diligent of the followers, but they took exception to a each other as a potential competitor for any food that arose. A fight ensued, which I hapened to catch on my phone. They are merciless. Having been on the receiving end of a Bonxie attack myself a few years ago (ashore, not while on the boat) I know just how persistent and intimidating they can be!

KIT REVEIW
Swimmers come in all shapes, sizes and ages, and we often get asked about suits to fit ladies who don't fall into the size 10, hourglass shape, that most wetsuit adverts promote. Well done Waterpsort, for going the extra mile, as lets face it, very few fit the stereotype. This looks like a great suit, and if its like the Lomo suits we have had in the past, they will be a great buy! Thanks also to Heather for the review.

KIT REVIEW: Lomo Prime Wetsuit
Reviewed by Heather

FEATURES
The Lomo Prime is a triathlon and swimming wetsuit, and has three different thicknesses of neoprene across the wetsuit - 4mm on the front panel, 3mm on the back and 2mm on the arms underarms. This aims to give you the warmth where you need it most whilst also giving you freedom of motion.

SIZE AND FIT
I tested the Medium Wide C which according to the size chart is suitable for a height of 5’6″ – 5’8″, chest of 53-56″ and waist 47-51″. I'm a 50" bust and 45" waist (and 57" hip) and it fit me, but I would say it is more suited to someone who carries their weight on their torso. I carry more of my weight on my hips/bum/legs and I struggled a bit getting it over my legs and bum (I have 35" thigh). I also think there is more room in the chest area for someone bustier than myself! The wetsuit is currently available in short wide A-C and medium wide A-C fits (with the C being the largest).

PERFORMANCE
Once I had it on, I could swim in it pretty well without feeling too restricted (although I haven't yet done any longer swims in it). I tried it for the first time in a very chilly Windermere in March and the fact it made the very icy water bearable, is an excellent testament to its functionality as a wetsuit! It's also a very reasonable price in terms of wetsuits which, given the limited range of wetsuits at larger sizes, is fantastic.

OUR VERY OWN OCEAN LITTER ANGEL
Not the kind of wildlife we normally post about!

Jamie recovered this plastic litter - inflatable butterfly balloon from the sea off the Waternish coastline in an area where whales, dolphin, and porpoise feed, and also adjacent to a bird breeding colony. They present a huge threat to our wildlife.

So many stranded dead whales have stomachs full of plastic, birds’ nests are made with plastic, plastic has also been found in their stomachs after death too, ............. please do not release these balloons outdoors, intentionally or by accident, the results can be catastrophic!

This ballon by carries a responsible use warning, but this and doubtless others end up in the sea. Fortunately, no animal ingested this one.

CURIOUS GANNET, maybe hungry?
This Gannet spent some time following the boat at the weekend. Looking for lazy food treats, it probably gets fed from fishing boats. Laterly he was diving into the divers air bubbles, likely mistaking them for fish. Opportunists we guess! A few years ago we fed caught mackerel to a Gannet sitting tired on the rocks, and it ate, 8 whole large fish before stopping! Where did it put them you wonder! You can see why greedy people get called Gannets ;-) !

PEEK-A-BOO seal pup.
The local Special Area of Conservation around Lochbay Islands is specific to common seals, and these islands are a very important habitat. Common seals pup in summer and they are always a delight to watch over the summer season. In recent years grey seals have also moved into the colony, and we saw the first very cute and fluffy white pup appear early this week. Yesterday it was playing peek-a-boo from behind the rocks on the offshore skerry where it is being reared.

You may see a white pup ashore on its own. Please don't approach it, Mum often goes off to feed and will return. If you are concerned about it having been abandoned, observe from a distance and if in doubt about its welfare, phone BDLMR https://bdmlr.org.uk/

Large groups of pregnant grey seal females return to traditional breeding sites on Scotland's rocky coasts in autumn to give birth. Pups are born with white hair that is moulted over the first three weeks of life, during which they stay at the colony before venturing out to sea.

Big Skies & Dolphins at Divers Eye Boat Trips, Isle of Skye
Big Skies & Dolphins at Divers Eye Boat Trips, Isle of Skye

🐬 INCREDIBLE & DELIGHTFUL DOLPHINS 🐬 Every 'Lochbay Seals & Seabirds' trip and 'Evening Wildlife' trip since 18th August have enjoyed dolphins. This is both astonishing and delightful. They have been so interactive, bow wave riding, coming alongside and turning to look in a true moment of connection, leaping out the wake. At other times they head on their way as they feed and we watch as they choose to leave us, and whizz of into the sunset on a feeding mission. Often as they approach us we simply turn off the engines and watch as they feed all around us, .. its been so special. We know their visit has to end soon but its been truly awesome! #minkewhale #whalewatching #hebrideanwhaleanddolphintrust #isleofskye #officialisleofskye #boattrips #visitscotland #visitwaternish #wildlifephotography #wildlifeencounters #whaleencounters #kinlochcampsite #SteinInn #wildswimming #wildswimmingscotland #snorkeling #seals #puffins #dolphins #dolphinwatching #reddeer Visit Waternish Kinloch Campsite YURTea&coffee Welcome to Scotland Welcome To Scotland Crown Estate Scotland NatureScot

DOLPHINS EVERYWHERE WE LOOK at Divers Eye Boat Trips, Lochbay, Isle of Skye

🐬🐬☀ DOLPHINS EVERYWHERE WE LOOK ☀🐬🐬 It really is hard to know where to point the camera when there have been dolphins in the loch. Under the boat, in the bow wave, alongside the boat looking us in the eye, playing in the wake, coming to join us, ....... bear with those few seconds with no dolphins in shot, they'll appear pretty quickly again. 😍 We are hoping they might still be around and joining us to play tomorrow - fingers crossed! #visitwaternish, #visitscotland #kinlochcampsite #dolphins #dolphinwatching #minkewhale #whalewatching #hebrideanwhaleanddolphintrust #isleofskye #officialisleofskye #boattrips #wildlifephotography #wildlifeencounters #whaleencounters #kinlochcampsite #SteinInn #wildswimming #wildswimmingscotland #snorkeling #seals Crown Estate Scotland

🐬🐬 EPIC DOLPHIN ENCOUNTERS at SUNSET an absolute privilege. 🐬🐬 Friday Evening was a real treat, and an extra trip was added, after a quiet day, because a customer requested it on a beautiful night. Many like minds joined the trip and little did we know what a treat was in store for us. We were joined by 2 large pods of dolphins feeding and playful right up until sunset. As the dolphins took delight in showing of, we often wondered who was watching who. They came close alongside jostling each other out of the way to bow ride, often turning to make eye contact. What a connection, eye to eye and absolute privilege. It was a truly epic encounter. #visitwaternish, #visitscotland #kinlochcampsite #dolphins #dolphinwatching #minkewhale #whalewatching #hebrideanwhaleanddolphintrust #isleofskye #officialisleofskye #boattrips #wildlifephotography #wildlifeencounters #whaleencounters #kinlochcampsite #SteinInn #wildswimming #wildswimmingscotland #snorkeling #seals Crown Estate Scotland

🐬🐬🐬 DOLPHIN's EVERYWHERE WE LOOKED🐬🐬🐬 We had a fantastic dolphin encounter today with dolphins all around us. They were on a feeding mission, surfing under us, racing towards us, bow riding, leaping joyfully, popping up lazily, joy riding the wake ............ they were a delight to spend time with. Obviously, we are hoping for another treat tomorrow. After the dolphins we carried on out of the loch encountering many seabirds, rainbows in cascading waterfalls, spectacular seascapes, and on the way back, seals and their pups and red deer on the hillside. What a fabulous way to spend the afternoon 😍 #minkewhale #whalewatching #hebrideanwhaleanddolphintrust #isleofskye #officialisleofskye #boattrips #visitscotland #visitwaternish #wildlifephotography #wildlifeencounters #whaleencounters #kinlochcampsite #SteinInn #seals #puffins #dolphins #dolphinwatching, #reddeer #reddeerphotographer '#rainbowsinwaterfalls #rainbows, #waterfalls NatureScot

FANTASTIC DOLPHIN ENCOUNTERS with Divers Eye Boat Trips

Last week was fantastic for dolphin watching, a privilege that we never take for granted. When these creatures choose to spend time with you and play, the encounter is awesome, no matter how many times you have experienced it before. They seem to smile at you, show off, leap in joy and entertain with enthusiasm before heading on their energetic way! Wow to be able to swim like them! 🐬🐬🐬 #dolphins #dolphinwatching #hebrideanwhaleanddolphintrust #wildlife #wildlifephotography #visitskye #visitscotland #visitwaternish #kinlochcampsite #boattrips #isleofskye #officialisleofskye

WHALEWATCHING on the Isle of Skye at Divers Eye Boat Trips, Aug 2023. One of the children in the Hatherly Family captured this footage of a curious minke whale, that we spent time with while on a whale watching tour last week. Anyone who has tried to film whales, will know it’s not as easy as it looks, and this young man has done an excellent job! He caught the typical three surfacings, the deep dive and all in frame, excellent job! Perhaps he is a wildlife camera man in the making. Thank you very much for sharing this footage, it was a delight to have you aboard. #whaleencounters #whales #minkewhale #whalewatching #hebrideanwhaleanddolphintrust #visitwaternish #visitskye #visitscotland #boattrips #isleofskye #officialisleofskye #radioskye #westhighlandfreepress #boattrips #wildifecameraman #wildlifephotography Welcome to Scotland Crown Estate Scotland NatureScot

FEEDING FRENZY - of gulls, gannets and whales Yesterday we were out on scuba diving charter and were heartened to see many, many flocks of feeding gulls. Fish shoals must have been plentiful, as there were so many flocks of healthy looking gulls and diving gannets. Whales were plentiful too, in 3 different locations, all on a power feeding mission. They were too fast to photograph yesterday but we had many great and close sightings of them. Next week is looking exciting :-) 🐋🦭🐬 #minkewhale #whalewatching #hebrideanwhaleanddolphintrust #isleofskye #officialisleofskye #boattrips #visitscotland #visitwaternish #wildlifephotography #wildlifeencounters #whaleencounters #kinlochcampsite #SteinInn #wildswimming #wildswimmingscotland #snorkelling #seals #puffins #dolphins #dolphinwatching

Soaring Sea Eagles
Soaring Sea Eagles

We often have great Sea Eagle Sightings, some soaring, some hunting, always impressive. Calumn, one of our skippers caught this on his phone. We rarely have the camera and opportunity together to get good close up shots, but Chris Hurley a customer kindly shared some good close up images which we posted on 22nd June 2023. Take a look back on our timeline. #seaeagles, #rspb #boattrips #wildlifephotography #visitwaternish #visitscotland #officialisleofskye #isleofskye

Razorbills swimming on a calm blue sea. In the beautiful weather throughout June, we had some great sightings and lots of video. While these wee razorbills might not be up there on 'the big tick wish list' they have spectacular markings and are no less cute. All these sightings add up to the rich biodiversity that we enjoy. #rspb #razorbills #boattrips #wildlifephotography #visitwaternish #visitscotland #isleofskye #officialisleofskye

Curious minke whale, watching us, watching it!

Curious minke whale, watching us, watching it! This juvenile minke whale treated us to a wonderful encounter as it checked us out last week. It swam under the boat twice, eye-spying us, and surfaced for a wee look, close to the boat, a few times as it swam around us. The others in the small pod, were keeping a watch from further afield. Conditions were perfect at Waternish Pt, and we were on the extended tour to the puffins, which also treated us on a great display along with great sea eagle sightings. #minkewhale #whalewatching #hebrideanwhaleanddolphintrust #isleofskye #officialisleofskye #boattrips #visitscotland #visitwaternish #bbcscotlandpics #wildlifephotography #wildlife #WildlifeEncounters #whaleencounters Crown Estate Scotland NatureScot
