We have had another wonderful season spotting wildlife from our cruises and onshore. There is no doubt having a dedicated Wildlife Guide helps idenitify habitat and find species and you never know what you are going to see! Amazing one-off sightings in 2019 include a unique appearance of an adult minke whale with calf; a very rare sighting of a fin whale and several sightings of the snowy owl on St Kilda. Here are some photos sent in by crew and guests - as always, puffins feature greatly and we have seen dolphins and white-tailed eagles on most cruises, often multiple times. Many other sea birds are well represented as well as seals, otters, red deer and cetaceans.
Emma was excellent. We will well informed during the difficult Covid time. Our holiday was a wonderful mixture of shore visits, calm anchorages, picturesque scenery and amazing selection of wildlife. The public areas are delightful and great outdoor space for wildlife watching. Book it and enjoy!!
