Charter boat day trip to Treshnish Islands for Oban Lesbian Weekend attendees

Who would like to join our private charter 12 person day trip to see the puffins, Fingals cave, the Treshnish Islands, Iona & Mull?

It’s not for everyone’s budget but it is a trip of a lifetime!

We have pre-booked it for Monday 31st July. If there is enough interest, we can also do it Sun 30th July. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get a date that doesn’t clash with Oban Lesbian Weekend but if you go on the Sunday, you can use your Kerrera Ferry tickets, to go to Kerrera on the Monday. You’ll be back in time for our Sunday evening events.

Mondays trip, you will just miss a lie in and good bye coffees.

TRESHNISH ISLANDS TRIP ITINERARY

Departing Oban at 0830 (PA345PZ) we head along the South side of Mull, past Loch Buie and through the Torran Rocks before landing at Iona (about 1 hour 45 mins).
There is time to walk to the Abbey and look around the Village.
The route then heads up the Sound of Iona to Staffa to view Fingals Cave (20-minute journey time).
Landing at Staffa depends on the swell and also how busy the landing stage is. In the right weather conditions we are able to take the boat in to the mouth of the Cave!
We continue towards the Treshnish Islands (20 minutes) and if the Puffins are there (late April to early August) we drop the anchor and land at Lunga. We use a large dinghy to land; the shoreline is rocky so good boots are required.
After we visit the Puffins, we head through the Treshnish Islands and round the North end of Mull and into Tobermory. (1 hour 10 minutes) This is normally a quick stop for a look about and a toilet stop. The last part of the journey heads down the Sound of Mull and back to Oban for about 1730.
During the trip we may see Porpoise, Dolphins (Common and Bottlenose) Seals (Greys and Common) and Minke Whales. Sea Birds such as Gannets, Guillemots, Razorbills, Puffins, Shags, Cormorants, Oystercatchers and Sea Eagles. These are not guaranteed but do our best.

This trip is weather dependent, and we will give as much notice as possible if the sea conditions are unsuitable. Depending on the wind direction we may head the opposite way around Mull and stop at Tobermory first.

It’s best to have a packed lunch with you as the Iona stop is quite early for lunch and Tobermory is a bit late in the day.
Timings are flexible depending on how much time you spend at each stop but we recommend spending most of the time at Lunga (Treshnish Islands) to see the Puffins.

Times depends on time ashore really. Usually 0830 till 1730 with a 1.5 hours at lungs. then roughly 40 mins in Tob and 1hr in Iona.
