Isle of Lewis Wildlife

Isle of Lewis is a part of an archipelago, situated on the furthest edges of the Scottish Isles. The island has an extremely diverse range of habitats, meaning there’s a fantastic variety of animals to spot. At the Uig Hills to the southwest, there are a few pairs of Golden Eagles and White-tailed Eagles, and to the southeast, you’ll find a large variety of smaller birds, including Merlins, Greenshanks, and the rare Black Throated Divers – it is also the best place to find the elusive otters! The sea is even more abundant with life, where you can find the Atlantic Grey Seal, Dolphins, Porpoise and several species of Whales!

The new boat that is used on these trips is the XS 850 rib, which is Cat coded by the Maritime and Coastguard agency to hold 12 passengers and 2 crew members! The trips here can vary from 1 and a half hour journeys to Loch Erisort, the Witches Pool, Loch Leurbost and Loch Grimshader, to a longer 4 and a half-hour-long trip to the volcanic Shiant Isles and along the beautiful Lochs coastline!
