wildlife watching

Whether it is a sighting of otters or seals in the Sound in front of the caravans, peregrines and buzzards patrolling for prey, or spotting the red deer on the island, many guests Dolphinsfind that the wildlife is one of the highlights of their stay at Sunnybrae.

There is much in the area to interest keen wildlife enthusiasts, but if you are less confident, then the range of guide books available to borrow at Sunnybrae should help you identify your finds. There are a wide variety of day trips available in the area, including cetacean watching by boat, viewing breeding puffins on the Treshish Isles, and landrover wildlife safaris on Mull. If you are interested in any of the trips in the area, please ask us when you book as some are only available at particular times of year.

Luing borders the eastern edge of the Firth of Lorn. Renowned for its powerful tidal currents, rugged coastline and scattering of islands the Firth shelters a rich diversity of marine life. There are a wide variety of boat trips available to explore the area, ranging from high speed RIB rides, to more leisurely cruises.
