We’re local to the Elgol area and this was our second time doing the Misty Isle Boat into Loch Coruisk and I think it’s safe to say it’ll be a magical experience every time! Full of the most incredi… Full review by Joanna G

Are there hornets or wasps on the island in May or June? I'm highly allergic and wonder about being stranded so far away from medical ER facilities.

There are certainly wasps on Skye, but I would expect to see not many in May, slightly more in June. Worst time is August and late summer, where there are a lot. If you are concerned, I'm sure you can call the local hospital and request advice, I'm sure you could make safe contingency plan. I grew up there and was stung only once as a child, which included water bombing and setting fire to wasps nests. The risk is very small.
Hello. We are coming to Skye the end of May 2019 and not all of us do well with walking. How difficult is it to get to, and from your pier? Also, once at Loch Cruisk (sorry for the spelling) how difficult is it to maneuver around?

In my opinion it's the best time of the year to visit the West coast of Scotland. Parking is limited down by the pier and it's a steep hill from upper car parks. But you could drop of less abled before parking. You can be helped on and off the boat. Once you get to Loch Cruisk it's a flight of steps and then a relatively short 400m walk from sea to Loch. Al tg Hough flat it's over a rocks. We saw older people helped and they made it. I would recommend short 1hr stay. Hope this helps.
Hi, We are visiting from the United States on October 5 and 6, 2018. Do you have availability for 2 adults (a couple) on that Friday or Saturday? We are staying in Portree on the 6th and have not booked anywhere to stay on the 5th at this time and will be driving over from Kingussie. We would like to see the Fairy Pools, Old Man of Storr and Quiraing over the weekend as time allows and the boat tour would be an added bonus! Thank you, Thomas Youngblood -
