Speed along Arran's dramatic coastline on a rigid inflatable, spotting grey seals, basking sharks, porpoise, and the magnificent white-tailed eagle — Scotland's largest bird of prey. The island looks entirely different from the water.
What to expect
Departing from Brodick, the RIB hugs the coastline at exhilarating speed before slowing to drift past seal-hauled rocks and scanning the sky for raptors. Your guide narrates the ecology and geology of the shoreline throughout. On calm days the boat ventures into sea caves draped in jewel anemones. Dolphins and porpoise regularly join the bow wave on the northern leg.
