Our onboard Wildlife Guides are the best there are. Expert in their fields and passionate about wildlife, we feel very privileged to have them as Crew members, providing our guests with an exceptional insight into the wildlife we encounter.
Georgina Kelly is a field ecologist with years of experience within research and consultancy and a wildlife expert in seabirds and cetaceans amongst other species. She currently works as a Warden on the RSPB Skerries Reserve, a small group of islands around 5km off the north coast of Anglesey. We are very fortunate that Georgina comes onboard Proud Seahorse as our Wildlife Guide when her RSPB duties allow her the time.
Read an indepth account of Georgina and her work in Inside Ecology Magazine, January 2018. As you can see from the article, she is also a very talented wildlife photographer.

We had a fabulous time despite the bad weather at the start of the trip. We saw a Minke whale, dolphins, eagles, otters (the very last morning!)and lots more. As far as the crew goes, Jake was lovely and multi talented when it came to various repairs on the Emma Jane and then catching a lobster for one evening meal. Lauren was great at finding us wildlife and was determined to find an otter for Nick !! Jasmin was as lovely this year as last year and she looked after us all very well. But Emma the chef deserves a special mention as she produced some fantastic food for us - I was so impressed that someone so young was so talented and so lovely as well. The other guests were just fabulous too - we all got along really well and we had some great laughs. So once again Hebrides Cruises has provided a great holiday, never mind what the weather throws at us the Emma Jane is like home. Deb Ledgard
