Indulge your sense of adventure and get acquainted with the splendid beauty and sea life of the stunning Uig coastline. This sea trek excursion begins with a scenic one-hour panoramic drive across the island to Miavaig Harbour.
Step aboard a motorboat for a fun-filled 90-minute ride along the rocky shoreline and past the sweeping, mile-long Riof Beach.
En route to Siaram and Pabbay Mor Islands, the skipper will explain how this rocky coastline formed and will take you down the coast to view some of the many lagoons.
Pristine beaches and aquamarine waters are reminiscent of the Caribbean, albeit one or two degrees cooler. Keep an eye out for seals, and possibly dolphins and basking sharks. The latter is the second-largest species of shark, but there's no cause for concern, as they are docile, plankton-eating showboats -- larger than a bus but completely harmless. Many seabirds call the area home, including gannets, guillemots and razorbills.
Notes:
Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed.
