Hello Emma - As you can see from the grades that we have put below, we could not have been more pleased with our time on Elizabeth G. We were blessed with exceptionally fine weather which obviously colours our views a little, but our enjoyment of the whole time would not have been anywhere as much had it not been for the service we received. Food was excellent, leaving nothing to be desired. Wildlife sightings were exceptional including all the bird life that we expected, plus bonuses like Snowy owl, Humpback whale, Sunfish, Risso’s dolphin, Minke whale and very close encounters with a large pod of common dolphins. All of these were made possible by the local knowledge and skill at spotting of the crew. Onshore trips were well organised and we visited and also moored in some beautiful places. Many thanks for making this holiday such a memorable experience. We would recommend it to anyone, especially people who enjoy good food, natural history and beautiful scenery. Jim & Margaret Oakley.

We recently had the privilege of embarking on a 3-day cruise with Hebrides Cruises, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we were met at the pontoon, we were treated with exceptional hospitality by the crew. The Captain's vast knowledge of the area and the wildlife guide's expertise made every moment feel like a treasure hunt, spotting dolphins, Puffins, Otters and an amazing variety of seabirds. As if that wasn't enough, the food was exquisite, with each meal carefully crafted to showcase local flavours and ingredients. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after each day's adventures. The care of Steward and the attention to detail in our cabins was amazing, it felt truly luxurious, with lots of personal touches and attention to detail that makes you feel special. Visiting the remote islands, such as the Lunga (Treshnish Isles), Cairns of Coll and Fingal's Cave was breathtaking. The sense of peace and remoteness and tranquility was incredible - it felt out of this world. The crew worked tirelessly to ensure every aspect of the cruise was perfect, from navigating through stunning landscapes to providing anything you need from refreshments, to care and knowledge of the boat and area, and to sharing stories around the dinner table. The crew were a delight and really helped make the experience hard to beat. I can highly recommend Hebrides Cruises for anyone seeking a unique and memorable experience. The combination of outstanding crew, stunning scenery, exceptional service, and warm company makes this cruise truly unforgettable. This is a 5* star holiday - book a trip now if you can - you will not regret it.
