Description

Shark fans, you don’t have to go overseas to see your favourite fish, as basking sharks are known to frequent the Scottish coast. Set sail from Oban, travelling through the Sound of Mull, taking in historical sights and meet seals, whales, eagles, seabirds and dolphins on your journey. Under the guidance of an expert, arrive at the target area of Coll and Tiree and search the local ‘hotspots’ for the world’s second largest fish. Locating these majestic beasts is never guaranteed, but is certainly likely. Observe behaviour to make sure the animal is relaxed before joining them in the water for an incredible experience. With loads of wildlife to spot and so much to learn, this is an unforgettable day exploring UK sea life!
