The Boat Trips
We currently have a choice of two boat trips offering excursions into the Moray Firth. The Mischief is a 2 hour trip that heads out into the Moray firth on a high speed boat looking for dolphins. We can also spot other wildlife like sharks, whales and porpoise and well as the local seabirds. Our Dolphin Spirit wildlife cruise on our new, catamaran travels up to the Chanonry narrows to look for dolphins and other wildlife. It is also a 2 hour trip.
We cannot guarantee sightings of any animals on any of these trips and the routes of both boats will be decided by the skipper on the day accounting for weather, tides and previous sightings.

5-Star Boat Trips in Inverness★★★★★
We opted to go for the Mischief Wildlife Experience and it was absolutely brilliant. Some of the views were breathtaking and on top of that we were fortunate enough to see multiple dolphins on our trip. The skipper Gus was also very knowledgable and enhanced what was already an amazing experience. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone local as well as anyone who is visiting the area.

Just back from an afternoon out on the water. The weather was mixed but the suites provided were excellent and kept us warm despite the Scottish wind and rain. It wasn't easy to find the dolphins in the choppy water but we did. It was great to see them up close, along with lots of sea birds. A fun day out.

The staff was really helpful and friendly, they have the facilities to accommodate disabled guests (toilet at the base, ramp onto the boat) so my partner was able to enjoy the experience. Really lovely experience would definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic morning out on the water with guide Tasha who was both informative and friendly. We booked the Dolphin Mischief rib boat and it was incredible - plenty of birds, seals, and a few porpoises/dolphins spotted too! We all had a great time and would highly recommend the tour to anyone wanting to see some marine wildlife and the beautiful views from the rib boat itself! Thank you for a great time.
