This was my second cruise with Hebrides Cruises, and it won't be my last! We saw Common and Risso's dolphins as well as Minke whales, and were able to observe some fantastic behaviour while watching them. We also saw White Tailed and Golden eagles, as well as many different sea birds. Added to this was spectacular scenery as well as interesting trips ashore, where we could go for guided walks or head off alone if that was preferred. The knowledge and enthusiasm of our guide Linsey, and skipper James was also much appreciated. Finally, we were very well taken care of by our bosun Cat, and Sarah provided us with plenty of excellent food. All in all it was a fantastic trip, thank you.

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.
