Seafari Adventures are a 5* Visit Scotland marine wildlife tour operator. Based in Easdale, 16 miles south of Oban they have a fleet of powerful RIBs which are purpose designed and built to ensure you maximum viewing opportunities. They also have a traditional "hard" boat for Whale Watching tours. Tours depart throughout the day visiting the Gulf of Corryvreckan, home of the World's Third Largest Whirlpool. Porpoise, dolphins and whales feed in these food rich waters along with many seals and the occasional otter. There are deer on the islands and seabirds in the skies which are also home to both the white tailed sea eagle and golden eagle. Their two hour nature spectacular is set amongst the many islands in the area. They also offer a day tour to Iona, Staffa and the puffin colony using their cabin RIB and Whirlpool Specials to see the Corryvreckan Whirlpools at their most active.

The West Island Way

Reviewed By sheona - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

We walked the southern part of the route on a beautiful autumn day, starting near St Blane's Church. The route is well marked with signs highlighting nearby places of interest. The terrain is varied - over hilltops and a tricky section along the southern coastline, and the views are splendid throughout the route. It took around three hours with time for a picnic and lots of photostops.
