Wow, what a holiday - it was absolutely fantastic. The crew, fellow passengers and wildlife did not let us down and the weather was particularly kind to us (we even got a tan)! The islands we visited, including Eriskay, Taransay, Monach, Rum, Canna etc were unforgettable, but to reach the pinnacle of the enigmatic islands, St Kilda, was purely magical. The history of this island is unique and only when you get up close can you bring the stories to life - it is really a must-see destination. Personal thanks to Emma, Colin, Richie, Will, Michelle and Ashleigh, both on and offshore cannot be underestimated - all were simply brilliant and we appreciate all they did for us. If you are thinking of a wildlife adventure in comfy surroundings with some top-notch expertise and restaurant-quality food, then look no further than Hebrides Cruises. We hope to come back in the not-too-distant future! Thank you all again for making the trip such a memorable one, never to be forgotten. PS thanks also to Peter May, author, who also helped us to understand the history of the islands (albeit within fictional settings) - his books of the area are well worth a read.

Many thanks to Rob, Craig, Sarah and Zoe for a fantastic week aboard the Elizabeth G. The high winds restricted the potential destinations and so we did not make it to Staffa and Iona, but Rob kept us safe and still delivered interesting events. We were looked after extremely well all week and always entertained. The trip to Lunga with the Puffins, Shags, Razor Bills etc was the highlight (it was sunny) and the memories of the dolphins showing off to us (one almost joined us in the tender) will stay with us forever. Already booked for 2023 and hope to fit in another trip in between.
