Wildlife and water-sport boat tours exploring Oban, Mull &amp and the Hebrides, guided by marine biologists. Activity options include snorkelling, wild swimming, kayaking & SUP's.

For 10 years Basking Shark Scotland has been leading the way offering eco-conscious wildlife adventure tours in the Hebrides and beyond. Our passionate and dedicated team of marine biologists are here to show you the wonders of Scotland’s wildlife.

We set a high standard for our work around wildlife, with a focus on small groups, low impact, education and enthusiasm.  Our unique basking shark swims support our research and conservation – escape with us on an adventure with a difference!

We run a number of tours depending on the time of year and wildlife migration patterns. We have a 9m and 12m cabin RIB boat which can also be chartered privately for bespoke tours and trips.
