Hear What Our Happy Customers Say About Us

The Bobster

Unforgettable Day with Nature and a Fantastic Guide What a day!

Lydia was outstanding — full of passion, excitement, and genuine enthusiasm for everything we encountered.

From fascinating geology to an impressive knowledge of wildlife, she brought every moment to life.

Her bird expertise in particular was next-level — she could identify each one instantly and shared loads of interesting facts. During our tour, we saw goats, red deer, fallow deer, shags, storm petrels, gannets, seagulls, grey seals, harbour porpoises, common dolphins, a golden eagle, white-tailed eagles, and even a lion’s mane jellyfish.

On the return leg, we paused to observe what looked like bottlenose dolphins — just distant splashes in truth, but a lovely moment that showed their focus was on the experience, not the clock.

It was thoughtful, immersive, and totally worth it. Highly recommend Seafari Easdale.

Irene Guwan Elder

We saw wild Goats, Red Deer on the hill, Fallow deer, White-tailed Eagle, Sea Eagle’s nest, Grey Seal bathing on the rock and Salmon farm.

Would like to recommend to everyone.
