"On the Green Isle Lunchtime Cruise From Acharacle we saw 2 Whit-Tailed Eagles and 5 Black-Throated Divers. There were amazing views of the Loch and surrounding area and we sailed on a slightly cloudy and calm day, perfect for the cruise. The crew were great and I would highly recommend this bargain trip!"
