This trip was on my bucket list and it came quicker than I had planned. Loch Shiel is one of the true wildernesses left in the UK and apart from parts of the South Shore there are lots of native Scottish trees, primarily oak, but some beautiful Scots Pines. MV Sileas is kitted out for every eventuality and Jim Michie... More

Went from Acharacle to Glenfinnan on the boat, then bus back to Acharacle. Views were stunning, and commentary on wildlife, history, and buildings from the boat's skipper was amazingly informative. Book in advance, and if wet or cold wrap up well!

A fantastic trip out on the loch. Really knowledgeable skipper in stunning surroundings. Binoculars and tartan rugs to borrow and an interesting commentary pointing out wildlife including deer and golden eagles. Highly recommended!

A great captain/guide, who knows every inch of the area, gives a really good commentary and knows when to talk and when to leave you just to enjoy the surroundings. The wildlife we saw was spectacular: deer, all kinds of birds and then - a golden eagle. That was the highlight of the trip. The boat is equipped with blankets... More
