A Wildlife Guide on every cruise, with escorted shore trips: The amazing wildlife on land, sea and air in the Hebrides is not always accommodating enough to pop up when we want it to! Our Skippers and Wildlife Guides are expert at reading the sea and landscape, backed by years of experience and knowledge in finding and identifying wildlife. We are the only Scottish small-ship cruise company that offers accompanied on-shore guided trips, with a specialist Wildlife Guide on board every cruise. Many of our guests comment that experiencing close encounters with wildlife while onboard inspires them to learn more about the natural environment of the Hebrides and get involved in conserving the habitats for the wonderful wildlife that lives there.
