St Kilda
Day 1
Our special 3 day adventure to St Kilda is for those who have more time on their break or who make the journey to St Kilda a major part of their holiday experience to the Hebrides. Our Journey to St Kilda begins at 9:00am and gets you to St Kilda in time for lunch aboard the Elinca.
Following lunch we go ashore on St Kilda and have a guided tour around the village before allowing you the time to explore this wonderful archipelago on your own and marvel at the cleits and wildlife around its shores and cliffs. Early evening we board the Elinca for our evening meal and good wine before lifting anchor and sailing out to the Atlantic to watch the setting sun on St Kilda. We return to anchor in Village bay and our overnight rest.
Day 2
Following a lazy breakfast we set sail for Boreray and the Stacs to spend time sailing all around St Kilda and learning about this dual world heritage site and what makes it one of only 24 worldwide. There will be a chance to take the helm under the guidance of our experienced skipper and sail between the Stacs and past incredible cliffs if you desire or simply gaze at the thousands of gannets, puffins, guillemots and razorbills on the ledges and in the water at these remote islands.
Early afternoon sees us back in village bay where we drop anchor and have an early tea before landing on St Kilda once more till late evening. Again we spend another night anchored in village bay.
