Explore Mull

Our winter wildlife expeditions have blazed the trail in wildlife watching for over twenty five years here and they are a must for any wildlife enthusiast visiting Scotland at this time of year.

The expeditions are led by David Woodhouse. In fact David has been conducting Expeditions longer than any other wildlife guide in Britain.

The Isle of Mull is one of the best wildlife destinations in Great Britain and our trip is designed to maximise your chances of seeing golden eagles, otters, white tailed sea eagles, porpoise, hen harriers and a whole host of fascinating Hebridean wildlife. You will not only see our wonderful creatures in their spectacular natural habitats but you will also learn how to look and where to look for them. We pass on our knowledge about the significance of weather patterns, tides and wind direction etc when wildlife watching in the Hebrides. You will also learn about other sites around Scotland where you can see more of Scotland's wild and wonderful creatures.

What we would underline is that the weather is not a factor regarding the day out. In fact eagles rather enjoy a wild day and otters are probably best seen on a drizzly day. Cetaceans are more easily seen on a calm grey day etc etc. However this is where local knowledge is invaluable because we can use the ever changing weather patterns to our advantage.

We have a new eco friendly home and base which is situated in our national scenic area on the Islands beautiful west coast and you can start your day from there, have a cup of coffee and browse some of our reference material, or you can be picked up from your accommodation. Alternatively we can collect you from one of our other pick up points en route to Craignure. 

There are no set routes for the expeditions as the weather and current wildlife hotspots dictate where we go on the day. We provide binoculars, maps and field guides, however we would strongly recommend that you bring your own binoculars if possible as familiarity with ones own gear can help enormously. We have a top of the range Swarovski telescope to enhance your wildlife sighting's.

Cost is £42.50 for adults and £39.50 for children under 12 years of age. Included are morning coffee, tea and scones and picnic lunch which comprises home made soup and sandwiches, tea coffee and cakes.
