Widely regarded as the wildlife capital of the UK, the Isle of Mull offers unparalleled opportunities for the dedicated photographer. Our time is split between land and sea; we’ll spend focused days along the coastline tracking elusive Eurasian Otters and venture out on a dedicated boat tour to witness the raw power of White-tailed Eagles in the sea lochs. We also dedicate two full days on the Isle of Lunga, staying until the golden hour to capture puffins and seabird colonies in the best possible light.
With the added chance of encountering Hen Harriers and Short-eared Owls, this tour is a comprehensive masterclass in Hebridean wildlife. To ensure a special experience, every guest enjoys their own room (no single supplement) and all meals are included. When tracking in the field, we maintain a 1:3 guide-to-guest ratio, limiting disturbance & providing the dedicated, hands-on support needed to master the fieldcraft and technical skills required.
