BOOKING REQUIREMENTS, TRADING CONDITIONS AND FAQ FOR
INTER-ISLAND CRUISES AND WHALE WATCHING TRIPS

1) The most frequently asked question is " when is the best time of year to see whales ? " This is very difficult to answer precisely. Whale watching on the west coast of Scotland is essentially a summer activity. Our season runs from the end of March to the end of September. In this time it is possible to see whales on any day.

Category A: Calm conditions where the route and destination is not affected by weather.
Category B: Days when the weather causes poor sea conditions making sightings difficult.
Category C: Days when the weather allows us to operate in sheltered waters only

We don't often have to cancel, but we do not sail in adverse weather conditions
