Dolphin Spirit Inverness: Wildlife Cruises in the Heart of the Highlands

Departing from Inverness Marina, Dolphin Spirit offers fantastic boat tours into the Moray Firth—one of Scotland’s most important habitats for bottlenose dolphins and other marine life. With options for both leisurely cruises and high-speed RIB adventures, Dolphin Spirit gives visitors of all ages a memorable and accessible way to experience the wildlife and waters of the Highlands.

Adventures on the Moray Firth

Dolphin Spirit provides two different ways to explore the Firth:

• Dolphin Spirit Cruiser: A larger, more stable boat ideal for families, photographers, and those wanting a relaxed trip across the water

• Dolphin Mischief RIB: A faster, more adventurous ride for those seeking a thrilling, close-to-the-water experience

• Tours offering chances to spot bottlenose dolphins, seals, otters, porpoises, and a variety of seabirds

• Knowledgeable skippers and guides who provide live commentary on wildlife, local history, and conservation efforts

Each trip offers breathtaking views of the coast, Black Isle, and beyond.
