No visit to the Isle of Skye is complete without a trip on the award winning Bella Jane, the only regular fulltime service from Elgol to Loch Coruisk and the longest running boat trip in Elgol and the Isle of Skye - Running 7 days a week 7 months of the year for the past 20 years*. Tourist Board quality approved and offering a unique choice of trips to suit your requirements, we guarantee an unforgettable experience!

Let us transport you to one of Scotland's most isolated and breathtaking lochs, Loch Coruisk, set in the heart of the stunningly beautiful Cuillin mountains. Coruisk has fascinated visitors for generations and deservedly enjoys a magical and mysterious reputation, even in changeable weather. During the journey to the loch we'll visit the famous Seal colony as well as glimpsing a variety of other wild and sea life (see Wildlife note below).

Spend time ashore exploring Loch Coruisk or simply relax beside the Coruisk river, enjoying the magnificent scenery and overwhelming tranquillity of this truly unique and unforgettable location.
