Elgol & Loch Coruisk

Boat trips, seals, lochs & mountain hikes

Elgol Beach 2

To see some of Skye's best scenery, with the minimum of effort, a boat trip from the little fishing village Elgol is hard to beat.

This is partly because the drive to Elgol is one of the most scenic on the island: it snakes through the Red Cuilllins before dropping steeply to the sea.

Every bit as enjoyable though, is the boat trip from Elgol across Loch Scavaig, past seal colonies and to the beautiful Loch Coruisk, which hides in the Cuillins' shadows.

Boat trips

Two Elgol companies offer boat trips (Apr–Oct; around £30 return) and both recommend advance booking.
