Excellent holiday with plenty of wildlife opportunities. Incredible numbers of dolphins and harbour porpoises seen throughout the cruise. Numbers of Minke whales good plus a juvenile basking shark. Well organised, good fun and we learnt a lot. Thanks to Alexa for her superb wildlife knowledge, Sian for the wonderful food, Craig for his attentiveness and help, and Chris the skipper who picked all the right places for sightings and overnight moorings.

We are not 'cruise people'. The very thought of being on a ship with cinemas, shows, and hoards of people has always been an anathema! Yet this cruise appealed to us, a small group of people, a short duration, and a crew of 4 to look after 8 people. Plus, of course, the islands and the wildlife. We took the plunge and booked. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. The boat (Lucy Mary) was just the right size; our cabin was comfortable and private; the lounge and bar were relaxing. From the decks we had superb views. Both the islands (walking across the rocks to Fingel's Cave was a particular highlight) and the wildlife (we saw whales, dolphins, puffins, eagles and more) were all that we had hoped them to be. And the crew were brilliant - all 4 of them (Skipper, Guide, Hostess and Cook). It was a real pleasure to have one of them join us for dinner each evening. Thank you Chris, Indy, Abi and Sarah!
