Basking Sharks
 Our basking shark trip in Scotland is a pioneering venture partnering with the best and most respected local logistics team. We remain the only company to offer a dedicated week long trip to photograph basking sharks anywhere in the UK. The basking shark is the worlds second largest shark, behind only the enormous whale shark, and even then, some of our UK sharks can be bigger than juvenile whale sharks. Who would have thought that we would have access to some of the planets largest marine animals on our doorstep. This tour is the only dedicated basking shark photography trip in the UK, and we have some of the best sighting rates anywhere in the country.
The team Acuatours partners with is one of the most respected wildlife watching operations in the area, if not the whole of Scotland, and their wealth of local knowledge as well as their respectful approach to all wildlife in the area makes for an ideal partnership. Our itinerary is land accommodation based and we have the option of camping on some of the islands to lessen boat time. Basking sharks are worked with on a snorkel/freedive basis. Diving is available for macro diving or diving with increasingly friendly seals in shallow sheltered bays with the best visibility in the uk - an unprecendented 20 metres. Saturday to Saturday, June to September. £795 per person Inc. Accommodation. 50% Deposit. Click here to see a Gallery from this season's trips.
