6-Night Whisky and Wildlife, Islay, Jura and Mull on Hjalmar Bjørge

Islay and Jura, two gems of the Inner Hebrides, offer an enchanting blend of world-class whisky and incredible wildlife. Known for its peaty, smoky single malts, Islay is home to nine distilleries, including Lagavulin, Laphroaig and Ardbeg on the south coast, famous for their bold flavours, and Bowmore, Bruichladdich and Kilchoman, each offering unique styles. Islay’s landscapes are alive with Golden Eagles, seals, and otters, while dolphins and whales grace nearby waters. Just northeast lies the rugged Jura, famed for its solitary Jura Distillery in Craighouse, producing whisky that reflects the island's untamed character. Jura’s wild terrain, dominated by the towering ‘Paps of Jura’ mountains, is a haven for Red Deer, seals, and birds of prey. Together, these islands promise an unforgettable journey through Scotland’s whisky heritage and vibrant natural beauty. Please note that our itinerary is subject to weather conditions. However, each anchorage will provide an unforgettable experience.
