Minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) are regular summer visitors to the coastal waters around the Isle of Mull.
From spring to autumn small whale-watching vessels and RIBs operate daily, offering reliable chances to see feeding and travelling minkes along the Sound of Mull and off Mull's west coast.
