Swimming Fingals Cave
- Duration: 9 Hours (approx.)
- Location: Oban, Argyll
- Product code: SwimFingals
A number of standard boat tours visit the cave from Mull where you can land and walk around, however you have to get the ferry to mull and then a bus to the start point. The boats are large and slow, and take large numbers of people which is fine and price is low.
However we visit using our high quality cabin RIBs from Oban. It takes 2.5 -3hrs to get there one way including a stop along the way. During the trip we can explore some of the amazing coastline, encounter whales, dolphins, porpoises basking sharks, eagles & seabirds.
Once at the cave tour options include snorkelling or swimming, kayaking or SUPing around the cave and coastline. You will be accompanied by our guides, have our vessel on standby watching you (as many boats visit the area) plus you are also covered for the activities by our insurance.
The drawback of this is unfortunately the cost, it's the furthest distance to travel by boat so it's more exploratory/expeditionary style of trip. Due to the distance we need a minimum number of eight people. However if you have a bigger group you can charter us as a group too to save.
