Hi It has taken some time to get around to writing this review - partly because I moved house 10 days after returning from my adventure! I thought long and hard about 'to go or not to go' and eventually took the plunge finally having chance to set foot on Hirta - the island I had first heard about some 30 years before - it was amazing to be there - and on Canna and Sanday, Harris, Vatersay, Rhum and the rest. The food was incredible and the fact that so much care and attention was taken of individual difficulties and allergies was such a relief as I was never worrying if something I abhorred or could eat would turn up on the table! Our skipper (Chris) and Bosun (Craig) were a wealth of knowledge and information which they shared freely and being allowed into the wheelhouse to see Hirta on the horizon and to be able to find out about lighthouse flashes, shipping lanes, navigation and weather reports was fascinating. I have never seen people work so hard and yet maintain such a pleasant, courteous and helpful manner. I had a wonderful time - basking sharks, Minke whales, dolphin bow racing, sea eagles, puffins and wild otter as well as the wild deer on Rhum - magical! I have come back with a diary and head full of memories and an i pad full of photos as well as the deep desire to save my pennies and adventure off again at some future date. Thank you, thank you for making my dreams come true

Hello Emma - I just want to share my appreciation of the Whale watching trip in august. Even though the weather was not in our favour the cruise was absolutely amazing. The effort the crew made for us all to be cared for and to see as much as possible in the 10 days was fantastic. I have no complaints whatsoever. My best holiday trip ever. What a ship Elisabeth G! I also want to send my thanks to the Elisabeth G crew: Alasdair, Hanna, Izzie and Craig for giving the best of service and a fun time. I will surely try to book again ( although i see that you are already almost fullt booked for 2026). Best regards, Annika
