Responses to my questions very prompt – even on Sundays! And very clear. The description of the cruise, the facilities on board, and what we could expect to encounter subject to weather and tides was spot-on. Embarking on the boat was very easy. The scale of the harbour at Oban makes it easily found and accessible. The crew were instantly friendly, welcoming, and clear about keeping us all safe on board. Our luggage was stowed in our cabins with no fuss or effort on our part. I was amazed how the skipper devised solutions which enabled us to meet our major expectations despite having to wait for seas to calm following a night of strong winds. Scenery was fantastic. Even the fog was atmospheric. Going ashore was always a joy, conducted with expertise by the crew, and being led by Hannah with her unlimited enthusiasm and expert knowledge was not to be missed. Anchorages every night were calm and peaceful. I slept extremely well! The saloon was a convivial place at all times, especially after supper! The foredeck was great for spotting wildlife or admiring the scenery. Do it!

This was a very professional cruise. Everything about it was seamless. From the booking process and boarding to dining and excursions it was faultless. The crew were knowledgeable. The chef capable of excellent cooking and considering the confined space of the galley this was remarkable. Daily briefings kept us informed and our wildlife guide was superb. We saw all the big five. For anyone wanting to experience a wildlife cruise this is a must.
