Calums Seal Trips
Our seal trips offer a unique experience. Unlike other operators, we don’t promise seal sightings on every trip because nature is unpredictable. However, if you don’t see seals, your trip is free—a guarantee we stand by.
As the longest-running boat trip operator in Skye & Lochalsh, we understand that seals may not always be present. Factors like high tide or disturbances from canoes can affect their visibility. But rest assured, you’ll receive a warm welcome from our experienced crew, who provide insightful commentary suitable for all ages.
Weather permitting, the Sula Bheag sails daily from spring to October’s end. Please note, while parking payment is invited, it’s not mandatory. Join us for an adventure on the water, where nature’s wonders await discovery.
