Mull Wildlife Tours with Pete Hall

Guided intimate tours of the beautiful Isle of Mull

Ringed Plover

The Isle of Mull possesses some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK. Our Wildlife Tours take you out for a full day in this wonderful scenery in the comfort of an all leather 4x4 to seek out the incredible wildlife seen on this Island.

Our tours normally start at around 10.30am at Craignure Ferry Terminal. We will collect people off the ferry or simply meet you there if you are already staying on the island. Alternatively we will pick you up from your accommodation if this fits in with the other customers of the day. Parking at Craignure is free and just across the road from our starting point. If you park near the tourist office this will incur charges.

We are licensed to carry a maximum of 6 passengers and so the tour tends to be very friendly and personal. We supply binoculars if required and carry an excellent telescope, numerous books and we provide you with a souvenir list of the day of everything seen. We normally stop for morning coffee/tea and biscuits, an excellent packed lunch is provided and this is normally at a very good otter spotting area. We stop for afternoon tea if time allows and get you back to Craignure before 5.00pm which helps if you are catching a ferry.

Your guide, Peter Hall, has been wildlife watching for more years than he cares to remember. He was a member of the RSPB, Treasurer of the Wolverhampton RSPB, a member of the Argyll Bird Club. More recently he is a founder member of the Isle of Mull Bird Club - an organisation which now boasts over 160 members.

During the day we visit the South West and the Centre of the island depending on time constraints. Obviously wildlife is never guaranteed but we will endeavour to find White Tailed Sea Eagle, Golden Eagle, Otter, Red Deer, Common Seal, Hen Harrier, Divers and numerous other birds. A typical day should produce some 50 species. From time to time we may see rarities. Last year this included Osprey.

Our normal daily rate for a tour is £35 per person and this is totally inclusive. We can, should you wish, tailor an exclusive tour. This is especially enjoyed by people who wish to spend longer periods of time looking at particular wildlife. Exclusive tours are subject to separate negotiation.

Our wildlife tours are a superb day out and we look forward to sharing this beautiful island with you.
