Oban and the surrounding west coast is a great area to explore. There's
plenty to keep you amused in the town itself whilst the area is full of
historical sites and picture postcard castles. We've just selected a few
of our favourite activities and attractions below:
Island hopping
Heading out of Oban on a ferry or local boat trip,it is easy to visit
many of the nearby islands. Mull is the biggest (and great for a holiday
too) and the ferry into Craignure takes you close to Duart and Torosay
castles.
From Mull it is possible to visit historic and spiritual Iona; alternatively jump on a local boat across to Kerrera for views back towards Oban and a great day's walking. Closer to Oban, Lismore, Seil island and Luing also showcase the best in west coast scenery.
Wildlife Watching - Sealife Sanctuary

many more attractions
Wildlife Watching - Coastal Connection, & Sealife
Surveys
Oban is a busy sea port and as you would expect the majority of the best
wildlife to see is off the coast of Oban. The best way to see it all is
to take a tour on a RIB and get up close and personal with the sea life.
Expect to see Basking sharks, Minke whales, porpoise, Otters, dolphin and perhaps Corryvreckan, the world’s 3rd largest whirlpool located just off the coast of Islay.
There are many providers to choose from including Coastal Connections who run daily excursions from Oban. Mull is a short ferry journey away and is the UK's number 1 wildlife watching destination.

exactly what happens in the process to produce Oban single malt's unique
spirit character.
