We have had another wonderful season spotting wildlife from our cruises and onshore. There is no doubt having a dedicated Wildlife Guide helps idenitify habitat and find species and you never know what you are going to see! Amazing one-off sightings in 2019 include a unique appearance of an adult minke whale with calf; a very rare sighting of a fin whale and several sightings of the snowy owl on St Kilda. Here are some photos sent in by crew and guests - as always, puffins feature greatly and we have seen dolphins and white-tailed eagles on most cruises, often multiple times. Many other sea birds are well represented as well as seals, otters, red deer and cetaceans.
Greetings Emma, Paul and I have recently returned from our holiday - our trip on Elizabeth G was truly stunning. Please do extend our respect and gratitude to Alasdair, Hannah, Charlie and Callum; everything was thoroughly professional and enjoyable - we couldn’t have wished for more! Together with a pleasant and harmonious group of passengers, we really had a most memorable trip.
