starts from either Dervaig or Tobermory and takes in the wildlife hot stops
of Aros, Salen, Gruline, Loch na Keal, Ulva Ferry, Loch Tuath, Tostary
and Calgary Bay. Our tour is unlike the other land based tours on the island
as well as looking for Mull’s famed wildlife and wild flowers we also take
time to point out and explain the historical and geological sights we see
on our chosen route if our guests request them. The tour lasts for up to
8 hours giving our guests plenty of time to take photographs of the magnificent
scenery if they wish to do so and we find that many do. We carry 2 telescopes

Pam Brown co-runs ‘Discover
Mull’, a fine wildlife tour on the island, with her husband Arthur Brown.
When we entered their crazy world we saw otters, deer and countless birds
of interest and rarity. Pam makes good sandwiches, extraordinarily good
lemon drizzle cake and great tea which is done in their van to your specification. |

Mull is a naturalists'
heaven with several ecologies wrapped in one small island, but we wouldn't
have seen a quarter of what's on offer without Pam & Arthur's insider
knowledge. You get a class act when you hire them for a whole day, along
with some comical patter and Pam's homemade veg soup, sarnies, flapjacks
and cake. |

‘I was met by Pam and Arthur
Brown, the charming married couple who run Discover Mull tours.
Armed with binoculars and
telescopes, the tour group marched along the shore, and less than 10 minutes
after stepping foot on Mull, I had spotted my first otter.
Pam had pointed it out
to me within minutes of standing on the shoreline, yet it took me a while
to locate it in the silvery waters with my binoculars. But she was determined
that I should see the adorable little creature and made a point of lining
up her telescope for me. I was amazed as I saw its cheeky little head poking
up from amongst the seaweed.
That was the start of a
day that saw us spotting a rare white-tailed sea eagle, golden eagles,
red deer, seals, buzzards, hen harriers, red throated divers, oyster catchers,
and too many more bird species to mention.
Pam and Arthur used their
local knowledge of the island to take us to the best secret spots and their
comical patter, plus Pam’s delicious home baking, all added to the enjoyment
of the day’. |
