With a large and very well stocked shop, the prices are higher than the average but then once out here you have very limited options for the replacement of any kit you might have damaged, lost broken or left behind. They are best known however for the small fleet of boats which are chartered by visiting divers to access some of the amazing variety of wrecks and walls to be found in the Oban Roads. If you can diving from their larger hard boat is highly recommended, as though the ribs are good they are held in a tight schedule of two trips at day whereas the hard boat is most often chartered for the full day.

If you have the opportunity to go on a 4 day tour of the highlands, Please do it with discover…read moreScotland tours. Not only do they do their best to follow the itinerary, but they do their best to take into consideration what other things people wish to see. (I got to feed the highland coos and my friend got to go to lean to coffee) If you also had any questions regarding luggage size or about the stops, they were really quick to respond despite the time difference (8 hours from LA to Scotland) The tour max is 16 people and they run regardless if it's less than 16. The seats were very comfortable and there was a complimentary charging station in the seats near the window. My tour group was small (10 people in total) and they are all friendly and nice! Now the major factor in the tour is the unpredictable weather of Scotland. In my tour, it rained most of the trip, but the driver Chris was very strategic and re-arranged the itinerary to ensure we had the best possible experience at every stop we made. He was also very knowledgeable and gave fun facts and history bits. He even drove safely and always stopped to let the sheep cross the road. Some notable stops: - Quirang -I pretended I was a weather lady reporting the windy conditions - Broadford - I found lots of British exclusive chocolate and I had a big pile I took back on the bus - Fairy pools - an epic 2 hour hike with a bunch of rain - Loch Lomond - this went on for miles and miles and it was beautiful and blue - Sheep - lots of sheep everywhere - Dunvegan Castle - has a beautiful garden Overall, if you want an epic tour of the highlands do the 4 day and ensure that Chris is your driver!

There are tour companies that go above and beyond to make sure you have a good time and see the…read moresites. This company is not one of them. I guess I now know why their buses are never full.The driver didn't stop at a few sites that we were supposed to see. He kept pulling over to let every single car pass him. It was almost like he could care less of what we saw or didn't see he just wanted to get this done and over with.This was the worst tour experience I've ever had. Then I contacted the company for a partial refund and they refused. They gave me all kinds of excuses. Along with the driver lying saying, there were no places to pull over, which was a big, fat lie. There was plenty of spots for him to pull over. He just had no interest.What bad business?

Their customer service is very poor.

Yet other companies took tours to Staffa that same day The woman was short/brusque with us and did not offer to help Us find another provider We were here from the states and only had that one day available before heading to Ireland The only reason we included oban in our vacation was to go to Staffa and fingals cave, so it was very disappointing not only to miss this but to also be treated without empathy was salt in the wound I recommend seeking out other providers for this service

I am not the outdoor kind of gal, and since we had previously cruised by it on the previous tour- I didn't feel the need to leave the boat. I asked Sean if I could remain on board. He was very kind and said no problem and I was more than welcomed to remain. This hour was absolutely THE BEST PART of the tour! I had the privilege to see some of the Puffins fairly close just floating on the waves, while others were flying very fast in a huge group towards the island. It was a lovely sight to see. Sean was the perfect gentleman and patiently answered all of my questions. He gave me so much insight into various aspects of the tour, like the Puffins habits; fishing for lobster/mussels and the Staffa Boats. Plus, I asked him where I could purchase "local" wool yarn and he told me where to shop. The yarn I purchased was simply perfect and exactly what I was looking for. Sean was friendly, polite and very professional. I was so, so happy that I remained on the boat. Thank you SO MUCH Sean and Staffa Tours. VDC

It may be summer to the Scottish folks, but to this Florida girl, my teeth were chattering. That breeze off the loch was numbingly cold. We walked around for a good bit, reaching the waters edge, to touch the coolness and watch the bots on the waves. It was a peaceful time of day. Not too many folks out yet, but you could tell (it was a holiday weekend) that they'd be out in force soon. Kayaks and boats, water sports equipment is all for hire, this place is absolutely gorgeous.
