We thought the itinerary was well chosen for a varied experience. While sailing near the coastline, the scenery was fabulous of course. When out of sight of land, we were all more intent on spotting birds & cetaceans & Rob was always keen to slow down & manoeuvre to give us the best possible view Some of the landings were a little tricky but all well worth it & we all eventually mastered the art of donning life jackets & boarding the tender. Rob always managed to find us sheltered anchorages, often with views of white-tailed eagles & seals. His local knowledge meant that he could amend the itinerary to suit weather conditions. Although we were unable to land on the Flannan Isles as planned, Rob added in a visit to the Shiants, which more than made up for it. Lynsey has a huge knowledge of wildlife & geology & an amazing ability for spotting cetaceans at a distance. Craig always got us ashore safely & used his experience of the area so suggest suitable walks. For anyone who loves Scotland, has an interest in wildlife, enjoys good food & has even an average amount of fitness & mobility, I’d say “Go for it but make sure you pack clothing for all weathers!"

Hello Emma - I just want to share my appreciation of the Whale watching trip in august. Even though the weather was not in our favour the cruise was absolutely amazing. The effort the crew made for us all to be cared for and to see as much as possible in the 10 days was fantastic. I have no complaints whatsoever. My best holiday trip ever. What a ship Elisabeth G! I also want to send my thanks to the Elisabeth G crew: Alasdair, Hanna, Izzie and Craig for giving the best of service and a fun time. I will surely try to book again ( although i see that you are already almost fullt booked for 2026). Best regards, Annika
