Tour Description
Our Outer Hebrides adventure is a trip you will never forget, with just one a year availability is very limited!
A time of year where the weather is usually calmer and the first sightings of basking sharks in the area are usually recorded. The exposed location of these islands can be challenging but also makes for a unique trip not many have experienced.
We will land on uninhabited white sand beaches where the only company will be thousands of seabirds and a large colony of grey seals! There are some amazing view points for those keen on hiking, and beautiful bays to take a dip for those interested in wild swimming.
Snorkelling at the wreck of the politician is another highlight, and a great bit of local history. There is a good chance to see the resident pod of bottlenose dolphins, as well as other cetaceans passing by.
Our 2022 expedition starts May 20th, join us to get off the beaten path and explore the seas of the Hebrides!
