Safari by Sealife Adventures

Sealife Adventures run wildlife watching boat trips from our pontoon on the mainland near Oban on the west coast of Scotland.

Enjoy the wind in your face as you speed to your next wildlife encounter. Our high viewing platform lets us spot whales at a distance.

All of our trips operate in the one of the most highly protected marine areas in Britain. The Firth of Lorne is a Special Area of Conservation and a Marine Protected Area, where damaging fishing methods have been banned for a decade. As a result we have healthy fish populations which provide rich feeding grounds and a hotspot for sightings of whales, porpoises, dolphins, basking sharks and an amazing abundance of sea birds. Porpoise populations have increased by 286% over the past 10 years and are of international importance.

We schedule our trips at different times each day according to the tides so that you are in the best location at the optimal time to see feeding activity.

All trips include the Corryvreckan whirlpool, Ballachuan Hazelwood (a Scottish Wildlife Trust Reserve), dramatic sea cliffs and uninhabited islands where golden and sea eagles are resident. The rugged coastline is home to otters, deer and wild goats.
