For us, this was our first ever cruise and what a wonderful experience it was! It certainly lived up to all our expectations. The crew were outstanding. Skipper Neil always found us safe harbour, Will was a brilliant guide, Bea produced some wonderful meals and Poppy made sure we had everything we needed. Highlights of the trip were seeing a Minke whale, a humped back whale, a trip on the tender around the Shiants and some great views of a pair of white-tailed eagles. We've made new friends and were really sad to say our goodbyes at the end of the cruise. I have no hesitation in recommending a trip with Hebrides Cruises.
