From the first contact to the final farewell, this couldn't have been a better experience. This particular cruise was perfect for me as a novice cruiser who suffers from sea-sickness! I'm now a convert.... six days was enough for my first trip but I'd be delighted to go for longer with Hebrides Cruises now. We were very lucky with the weather - only a day and a half of rain - and the sea was calm. The staff on land and the crew on board looked after us so well. The wildlife guide had an exceptional wealth of knowledge, the bosun could turn his hand to anything from origami napkins to cleaning the anchor chain, the cook should offer master classes in haute cuisine in a tiny galley and the skipper took decisions based on the conditions so that we had the best chance of seeing wildlife. All were professional and considerate, and relaxed. While the space on board is 'compact', it is a charming vessel with everything provided. I can't recommend this cruise highly enough!

We had an absolutely wonderful time, it was lovely to stop at all the islands and have enough time to explore properly. All the crew were amazing, nothing was too much trouble for any of them, and together they made a superb team and all looked after us really well. Zoe was so good at spotting things and helping us identify all the birds and mammals and made sure everyone was involved and doing what they wanted. The food was absolutely first class, I think Sian should have lots of Michelin stars and the scallops were my favourite!! The boat was really comfortable and I felt really safe.
