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.
We enjoyed the cruise enormously thanks to an amazing crew. We feel so lucky to have experienced the stunning scenery in this beautiful part of Scotland. Good food is an essential element of any holiday for us and each meal was imaginative and simply delicious! We would recommend Hebrides Cruises without hesitation. Emma was extremely helpful and answered all queries. She described the cruises so well and made them sound unmissable. We were delighted to meet her in person when we disembarked at the end of the cruise.
