Even though we had bad weather for the first couple of days we had exceptional care from the whole crew. Our skipper Jake found sheltered anchorages for overnight stops and got us safely ashore for walks every day. Our wildlife guide Lauren was brilliant at spotting all the wildlife we saw, including white tailed eagles, porpoises, dolphins and a minke whale, but best of all she found us an otter! We were very well fed by Emma, who produced some lovely meals which must always be a challenge on a small ship. Last but by no means least Jasmin took very good care of us, with nothing being too much trouble. All in all It was a fantastic trip with a great group of fellow cruisers who were so much fun to be with, only 11 months until the next one!

Every aspect of the cruise was wonderful. We explored and walked on most of the small islands. We saw many mammals both big and small and George our wildlife guide was extremely knowledgeable. All of the crew were friendly and Carlton's cooking was excellent. The whole cruise was well organised and well paced and we will be recommending the cruise to friends and family. A very memorable trip.
