Activities > Sealife adventures

Experience a whale watching boat trip in Scotland with Sealife Adventures, based on the mainland near Oban, Argyll, Scotland. Cruise through the infamous Corryvreckan Whirlpool. The stunning panorama of the Inner Hebrides includes Mull, Iona Jura and Islay. This area is exceptional for wildlife watching. It is a hot spot for porpoise, dolphins, minke whales and basking sharks. Bird watching highlights include sea eagles, golden eagles and puffins, while otters, seals, and deer can be seen along the shore.

Our 5 hour cruise

This is a whalewatching trip, where we head out through the Corryvreckan to the open seas in the search for those magnificent beasts of the deep, the Minke whales. We follow a similar inshore route to the 3 hour trip and so expect to see all the variety of wildlife the Special Area of Conservation has to offer but we spend much more time offshore in the feeding grounds for the whales. We are also likely to see dolphins, porpoises and many seabirds, including some species that are usually only seen far out to sea.

Our 3 hour cruise

Our most popular Cruise! The 3 hour cruise also features the Corryvreckan whirlpool but we cover a larger area and spend more time over sightings. We hope to see resident Sea and Golden Eagles and also whales when they are inshore. Along the shore are seals, goat and deer and perhaps a glimpse of the elusive otter. On some journeys we will take in the Garvellach chain of islands which were central to the Kingdom of the early Scots and Celtic saints.
