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.
All the crew were very friendly, welcoming, helpful, cheerful and knowledgeable. Thank you also for the bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary. Lyndsay was a great and enthusiastic guide both for the wildlife and walking. Rob was an excellent skipper, who kept us safe and all the anchorages were chosen for calmer waters, which was appreciated. The scallops which Rob provided were excellent- thank you! Craig was a great aid in all manner of duties. The food was fantastic- thanks to Tony for a wonderful menu each day.
