OUR CRUISES

Musical AccompanimentAll our cruises start and end in Tobermory.

The Oban package includes the return ferry ticket to Craignure on Mull, the return coach trip from Craignure to Tobermory and the cruise.

Solais Na Mara is moored in Tobermory harbour just off the Calmac pier (where Tobermory Tourist Office is located). You will be taken to the boat by our large and comfortable tender. Once onboard Solais Na Mara you will be introduced to the crew and given brief safety instructions followed by a description of your route with places of interest to look out for along the way. We have maps onboard for your use. Our enthusiastic crew are there to point out the wildlife and landmarks to you and to answer your questions.

Cruises will be varied at the discretion of the skipper to maximise potential marine wildlife sightings and to take advantage of the calmest sea conditions on the day. Cruises will be motored, part sailed or fully sailed according to prevailing wind and tidal conditions.

The cruises will take you out into the Sound of Mull where you will experience the beauty and splendour of the Hebridean coastline and sea. We do not go out into the open sea as there is plenty of wildlife all around us here in the sheltered waters of the Sound. Minke whales, dolphins, basking shark, porpoises, humpback whale have all been sighted here from the deck of Solais Na Mara. And, of course, not forgetting the soaring seabirds, gannets, guillemots and many many more. Sunset cruise

The 2 hour Sunset cruise takes you out into the Sound of Mull and into the setting sun. The sunsets are often spectacular as the sun dips into the sea between Glengorm Castle on your left and the towering hills of Ardnumurchan Point on your right. Departure times will vary, of course. Plenty of wildlife is seen at this time of day, too.

The 7 hour All Day cruise is available on request only as a whole boat charter. Advance notice is normally required. With the whole day ahead of you there is the opportunity to venture further, along Loch Sunart or into Loch Drambuie, or maybe the nearby Hebridean Islands.  Minke Whale

We work in association with Hebridean Whale & Dolphin Trust and report our sightings for their research purposes. See www.whaledolphintrust.co.uk

We have been awarded three stars as a Marine Wildlife Experience by Visit Scotland and are also approved as an Accredited Wildlife Safe Operator (WISE)

WEATHER

We are very rarely adversely affected by weather. In fact sightings of whales and dolphins are easier when the sky and sea are grey. So come prepared for all weathers!
