We have had another wonderful season so far spotting wildlife in the Hebrides. Here are some photos sent in by crew and guests from April to August. As always, puffins feature greatly and we have seen dolphins and white-tailed eagles on most cruises. Many other sea birds are well represented as well as seals, otters, red deer and cetaceans. One boat load of guests were lucky to see a rare fin whale, another had a rare sighting of a minke whale with calf, while several of our St Kilda cruises guests saw the snowy owl currently in residence there. Sightings of wildlife in September and early October are usually very good so we hope to add to this gallery before the end of the season
Hi Emma - It was great to meet you on the lovely Emma Jane. What a delighful boat she is. The Caledonian Canal was a fabulous cruise and I can’t praise the crew enough for their care and attention to detail. Without exception they looked after us with cheerfulness and good humour and made it a very special week. I feel I can’t praise your company enough. As a newly single traveller holidays can feel a bit daunting, but I wouldn’t hesitate to book a trip on my own with yourselves because you provide such a welcoming and safe environment. Hebrides Cruises is a great company and I hope you are all really proud of what you have created. Hilary Holt
