Join the team at Lady Anne Wildlife Cruises aboard Amarisa to see a side of Uist only accessible by sea. Be guided around rugged cliffs, uninhabited shores, hidden bays, and once populated inlets that are now home only Uist’s wildest residents.
Whether your goal is to capture breathtaking photography, check rare sea birds off your bucket list, or simply to see a side of Uist only imaginable from land, we will take you on a journey around some of the most magnificent and beautiful parts off our islands in safety and comfort.
What do we see?
A vast variety of species thrive in Uist’s coastal environments and our trips are led by guides who know these waters like the back of their hands.
From common seals basking on the rocks, to rare black throated divers resting and refuelling after their long migration, our trips will give you a chance to see some of these wonderful animals in their natural habitats.
For bird of prey enthusiasts, white tailed and golden eagles nest along our routes and peregrine falcons and hen harriers can be spotted flying over the hillsides where herds of wild red deer graze among the heather and bracken.
Elusive Eurasian sea otters can be spotted hunting for crabs along the shorelines and playing in the strong currents between islands, which provide fertile hunting grounds for hungry gannets and opportunities to witness their characteristic speedy dives into the water.
The waters around these islands also provide an excellent summer habitat for cetaceans, with the Hebrides’ many species dolphins, porpoises and whales spotted with varying degrees of frequency on our trips around Uist’s east coast. On rare occasions basking sharks, humpback whales and even orca have been seen from our decks.
