Coastal Connection - Oban

Chelsey S.

We had a fantastic day with Struan! We saw puffins, whales, and a large pack of dolphins swimming right next to the boat. We stopped off at a few different islands to walk around and explore as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and experience. Highly recommend!

Booked 2 boats to go round Mull, but it was disappointing not to do this because of the weather . Did a trip up to Tobermory and back, which was nice enough. Stuarn and Cameron were excellent.

Cameron and his team took us on a magical boat ride up to Tobermory from Oban. Our guides knew exactly where to look to see wildlife along the way. We strolled through Tobermory and enjoyed its charms, and had our lovely ride back to Oban. It was absolutely the highlight of our entire trip through the Hebrides, and one we still think about fondly two years later. Plus, Cameron and his team were just really pleasant and friendly and great to spend a couple hours with that day. Very thankful for their kindness and skills.

We hired a private boat charter and it was wonderful. Out guide took us all over to see all the main sight as well as the wildlife. The children loved it.

Unbelievable first day of our holiday. Thank you so much to Cameron our incredible skipper and guide. So knowledgeable about the local area, the wildlife, history and best spots to visit. We all absolutely loved it and experiencing the local secret insights was very special. The kids aged 5-9 had the best day and Cameron really engaged them. So lucky to spot a sea otter, a pair of sea eagles, porpoises, seals, amazing birds and we think a minke whale plume from a distance! Thank you!

Boat trips don't get better than this. Many thanks to Cameron our captain/guide.

It was too rough to get out to see whales today, but we really enjoyed the trip and saw (amongst other things) seals and their pups, plus a sea eagle.

Lovely trip, thank you.

We had a fantastic day on the boat trip to Tobermory. Cameron was a brilliant skipper, who gave us information about places we saw on the way up to Tobermory. We enjoyed travelling alongside his brother in the other boat. We stopped to see seals. The trip was comfortable and fast (compared to the ferry/bus) and we were able to sit on the small deck in the sunshine. It was fantastic entering the harbour at Tobermory and cameron slowed to let us all take photos. We had 2 1/2 hours there, then returned back. I'd certainly go on another trip with Coastal Connection next time we visit Oban.

Wonderful experience, struan is very knowledgeable and really knows the local community, both the people and the ecosystem. We had a great time spotting the seals, birds and other buildings and landscapes. The two hour tour is enough to have a good look around mull, kerrera, lismore etc. We were also lucky to have a really nice weather so we could actually see Ben Nevis in the distance! Definitely would recommend if you're not going to the isles from oban but want a good look of them.
