Hi Emma, have just returned from a wonderful whale watching trip in the Northern Minch. In spite of mixed weather saw dolphin, porpoise, numerous Minke whales and lots of birdlife too, including many sightings of White Tailed sea eagles. On our 'great whale day' saw more of the same, plus fin whale and an eye to eye encounter with a humpback whale gliding past the boat side! Such a wonderful day for us all!!! We also enjoyed some wonderful scenery throughout our cruise and enjoyed various shore trips. Our crew_ Charlie our skipper, Lynsey our wildlife guide, Louis our chef and Jasmin our steward, were all excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The Emma Jane was comfortable, clean and spacious. Our fellow guests were lovely and all combined made for a wonderful holiday.
