A qualified Wildlife Expert on every cruise
We are passionate about the wildlife of the west coast of Scotland and of giving our guests amazing sightings and experiences such as a surfacing minke whale, bow riding dolphins or an otter playing in the seaweed. Wildlife will often appear on its own, but to give our guests the best opportunities we have a qualified Wildlife Expert on board every cruise. They know the best habitats, can easily identify species and have lots of knowledge at their fingertips about species seen, which they happily pass to interested guests. The Wildlife Expert is always available to accompany guests on shore.
