The trip lived up to all our expectations, fantastic scenery, great wildlife and best of all, exquisite food. Although the weather prevented us from visiting the Flannel Isles, our skipper Rob, more than made up for that by expertly navigating to white shell beaches, turquoise blue bays and sheltered coves. Our wildlife guide, Will, was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the myriad birds, marine life and cetaceans we saw. For me the highlight he found were the By-the-wind-sailor, tiny violet jewels with a perplexing life cycle. And to top it all, Charlie produced the most delicious food for every meal and at times between meals! All together a great trip.

An amazing experience - the scenery is spectacular, the wildlife we saw was incredible, hundreds of sea birds on the cliffs & the sea plus a feeding frenzy of 3 minke whales and dolphins plus a basking shark. What made this even more special was Elizabeth G and her crew. We couldn't have been more spoilt!! Amazing food prepared by Sally in the tiny galley could have graced any high end restaurant. Craig, our steward ensured everyones glass or mug was never empty and ensured we all got ashore safely. Rob, our skipper made sure we avoided the worst swells & always found a flat calm anchorage for our nights in some amazing out of the way bays. Katy, our on board cetacean expert was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and a really good communicator. We expected this cruise to be good but it surpassed our expectations. Many thanks to all who made it happen.
