Gulf of Corryvreckan

Corryvrekan

As well as seeing the wonder of the whirlpool, this trip usually offers great wild life; sea eagles, porpois, golden eagles and sometime Minke Whales and Dolphins.

Boat trips to the Gulf of Corryvreckan are available for pickup and drop off from Tayvallich and Jura. Prices are very competetive and you will not be disappointed.

The Gulf of Corryvreckan and its famous whirlpool/maelstrom lies off the west coast of Scotland, between Scarba and Jura. The maelstrom of water that lies 300 yards off the shore of Scarba on the north west side of the gulf is caused by an underwater ridge of rock, which rises to a pinnacle whose top reaches to within 30 metres of the surface; which is an effect of the tide race that causes the whirlpool when there are slack tides.
