Dolphins and Porpoises are a common sight along the west coast of Scotland. We often spot them on our Wildlife Charters, either frolicking around the boat or hunting for food.

Of course, dolphins are just one of the native species that you can see: there’s also porpoises, seals, eagles, red deer, otters and a host of other bird and sea-life. We’ve a choice of two- and four-hour charters, taking in the waters of Loch Sunart and Loch Teacuis, in the safe hands of skipper and local wildlife expert, Andy Jackson.

The waters of Loch Sunart and Loch Teacuis provide some of the best diving on the west coast of Scotland. They are in a Marine Protected Area and teem with sea-life, offering an exceptional and fascinating diving experience.

We provide private diving charters from our base in Laga Bay, where you’ll also find safe moorings and on-site air refills. Each charter is led by experienced diver and skipper, Andy Jackson, who has extensive knowledge about the best and safest locations from which to explore this unique area.

The harbourfront of Tobermory is perhaps one of the most recognisable in the UK, with its long row of brightly coloured house, shops, hotels and cafés.

Apparently, the trend started in the early 1960s, when Bobby MacLeod the owner of the Mishnish Hotel decided to paint the front of his building bright pink to attract the growing numbers of tourists that were beginning to visit the town. The owners of other buildings slowly followed suit, until by the early 1970s almost the entire harbourfront resembled the chocolate-box vista that we see today.

You can discover more about the fascinating history of Tobermory on one of our charters from Laga Bay, where you’ll be in for a treat of information about local history, geology, culture and nature.

The waters around the Ardnamurchan Peninsula sit within a Marine Protected Area, and it shows.

🤿 If you'd rather get beneath the surface than watch from the deck, our private diving charters open up a fascinating underwater world.

You'll be in safe hands with skipper Andy Jackson, who knows the best dive sites and brings years of local wildlife and diving experience.

Some places are best explored from the water.

From the deck of Laurenca 2, you'll experience Loch Sunart from a completely different perspective. Ancient woodlands tumble down to the shoreline, distant peaks rise above hidden sea lochs and wildlife appears where you least expect it.

Slow down, take in the scenery and enjoy one of Scotland's most beautiful coastlines.

Colourful buildings, fascinating history and stunning scenery make Tobermory one of the most popular destinations on the west coast.

Our Tobermory cruise combines a relaxing journey across Loch Sunart and the Sound of Mull with time ashore to explore the town at your own pace. Browse independent shops, enjoy lunch overlooking the harbour or simply soak up the atmosphere before the return journey.

And with wildlife often spotted along the way, the journey is every bit as enjoyable as the destination!

No two wildlife cruises are ever the same.

One day may bring close encounters with harbour seals basking on the rocks. Another might offer glimpses of porpoises breaking the surface, or an eagle soaring overhead. Sometimes it's the scenery itself that steals the show, with dramatic skies reflected in the calm waters of Loch Sunart.

That's part of the magic. Nature follows its own timetable.

The waters of Loch Sunart are home to far more than can be seen from the shore.

Beneath the surface lies a rich marine environment where colourful anemones, sponges, starfish and crustaceans thrive. The loch's deep, sheltered waters support an astonishing diversity of life, making it one of Scotland's most important marine habitats.

You could be spotting wildlife from the deck or exploring beneath the waves on a dive charter - either way, there's always something new to discover with Ardnamurchan Charters!
