A view of swirling currents at the Corryvreckan whirlpool from a visit with Venture West in April 2023. Scarba in the background on the right. A fantastic excursion from Islay or during a journey to/from Islay.

Admittedly not a direct excursion from Islay in this case as the trip starts from Crinan, but as it was linked to an Islay visit I still count it as an excursion from Islay. A view from a RIB from Venture West en route to the famous Corryvreckan whirlpool on a sunny April afternoon. Jura on the left, Scarba on the right.
