Isle of Canna Cruise
Whale & puffin trail
This full day trip with Minch Adventures provides visitors with an in-depth tour of the outermost isle in the small isles archipelago: the charming, remote and picturesque island of Canna.
A great day out
“A fantastic boat adventure to Canna for our group of 12 out of Mallaig. The group was a mixture of keen, experienced birdwatchers and those looking for a new experience.
At Canna prior, to landing, we went to see the Puffins. And did we see Puffins!! 1000s of them. Amazing sight.
We were landed on Canna and spent 3hrs on this special island. There is a great little cafe, post office and gift shop. Walking was fantastic for all levels. You could stroll around the flat harbour and bay area or head up high along the ridges. There were plenty of historical interests.
Bird sightings were plenty with the Golden Eagles, a cuckoo and wheatears being our favourite.”
Discover Canna – The Jewel of the Small Isles
Join Minch Adventures on an unforgettable journey to the remote and picturesque island of Canna, the westernmost gem of the Small Isles and a key stop on the Hebridean Whale Trail.
As your boat approaches, Canna rises from the sea like the ramparts of a medieval castle, its rugged cliffs and tranquil shores inviting you into a world that feels far removed from the stresses of everyday life.
A Haven for Wildlife
Canna’s coastline is alive with nature:
-
Home to over 20,000 breeding seabirds, including puffins, kittiwakes, and guillemots.
-
A regular gathering place for seals and porpoises.
-
An occasional vantage point to spot majestic killer whales and other marine giants as they pass through the Hebridean waters.
The island’s fertile volcanic soil nurtures a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna, from heather-strewn slopes and fertile woodlands to nesting sites of sea eagles. Canna is also the only place in Lochaber where puffins make their home.
Steeped in History
Canna is as rich in heritage as it is in natural beauty. Visitors can explore:
-
Early Christian monasteries tucked away in the hills.
-
The remains of an old coastal jail, perched dramatically above the sea.
-
Centuries of archaeological treasures that tell the story of this island’s unique past.
A Day to Remember
On our guided tours, you’ll experience Canna’s highlights while soaking in its peace and beauty. The dramatic cliff faces of the north side create the perfect backdrop for a memorable seafood lunch on board, accompanied by the sights and sounds of seabirds circling nearby.
This is more than a trip — it’s a step back in time, a celebration of nature, and a chance to lose yourself in the serene atmosphere of one of Scotland’s most unforgettable islands.
