Our most enjoyable ten days ever on Scotland's West Coast. We saw countless Gannets, Fulmars, Puffins and large numbers of Dolphins. Manx Shearwaters, Guillemots and Razorbills joined in as did Skuas, Shags and Cormorants. And on our return past Ardnamurchan several Minke whales came to visit. Chris, the skipper, skilfully adjusted our itinerary to make the best of some changeable weather so we managed to reach both the Shiant islands and St Kilda as well as interesting anchorages on the way. Lynsey's keen eye kept us alert to every sighting, Greg spoiled us with imaginative dishes and Bea looked after us with a never-ending supply of Prosecco and cake. Utterly delightful.

It really was an idyllic holiday, a step out of time, and so special we will never forget it. We had perfect weather (suncream nearly every day!), very good company, fantastic food, a dedicated and charming wildlife expert, a most caring and imaginative stewardess, and a captain with every skill possible.... what more could we want. We both fully appreciated the way James and his crew helped Donald whenever needed, expertly and unobtrusively so that every moment could be enjoyed. I could on for pages enumerating the wonders of our voyage, it is enough to say once more how truly grateful we both are for our wonderful days with your Hebrides Cruises. Warmest thanks!
