Land and Sea Tours
Any of our land tours can be combined with a spectacular cruise off the Western Isles. Our partner, St Hilda Sea Adventures, visits Scotland’s Wild Isles with their unique, small cruise ships. They take passengers (couples, solos, groups and families) from Dunstaffnage Marina, near Oban, to the majestic Outer and Inner Hebrides - beautiful, unspoiled coastlines of spectacular sea lochs, stunning Hebridean landscapes and incredible wildlife.
The Isle of Skye, the nearby Small Isles (Canna, Rum Muck Eigg), the Southern Hebridean Islands of Islay and Jura and the Outer Hebridean islands of Uist, Harris, Lewis and the Shiants are just some of the Wild Isles you can explore with St Hilda Sea Adventures. You can even venture off-shore to St Kilda.
You can see whales, basking sharks, dolphins, seals, otters, sea and golden eagles, seabirds, including nesting puffins and the unique St Kilda wren and the special plants, orchids and butterflies of the Machair of the Outer Hebridean beaches. There are rock pools to explore, spectacular coastal walks and kayaking from their small ships.
They have four small cruise ships: St Hilda, a traditional, wooden ex-Tall Ship (6 guests); Seahorse II, an ex-Norwegian Ferry (11 guests); Gemini Explorer, an ex-Cruising Lifeboat (8 guests); and Speideren, an ex-Norwegian rescue ship (8 guests). All four ships have been converted to cruise the western islands of Scotland in comfort and style.
