Basking Shark Scotland

We are a wildlife and watersports boat tour business based in Oban, with our cabin RIB’s based at Dunstaffnage Marina on the outskirts of Oban.

Our tours are guided by experienced marine biologists and explorers. Summer water temperatures are much warmer than you think and we have a range of high quality hire gear to keep you toasty.

We are a 5 star Visit Scotland graded wildlife experience, along with winning the best outdoor/adventure experience at the Highlands & Islands Tourism Awards in 2018.

We set a high standard for our work around wildlife, with us focused on small groups, low impact, education and enthusiasm.

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 be chartered privately for bespoke tours and trips.

Please look through our website where you can book online.
