Our first but not last cruise , much delayed due to COVID but we got there in the end! A total “ wow” from start to finish , from the moment we boarded we knew that this was going to be special. As the cruise progressed out from Oban in the sun , with some fizz and cake the scene was set. Having such a knowledgeable crew was great , we felt in very safe hands so for small boat novices this was a great plus. Then , the wildlife, scenery , anticipation , meals and great company just made it perfect. Even the odd wet day didn’t detract, we managed to land on all the Islands, saw the most spectacular birdlife at The Shiants, a Minke “ lunge” feeding on the way, White Tailed Eagles , Dolphins , Seals and even the very rare Jennifer Saunders creature! Nothing was too much for the crew, they looked after us beautifully, with great patience ..we ask lots of questions..a great group of people. Thanks so much for making this such a memorable experience , we have already booked for next year...or as Skipper James said..” Do it whilst you are still vertical”! Will and Sarah Walker-Smith

We were recommended to this cruise by some friends who had a wonderful time. We were not disappointed. From start to finish we had an amazing time - even though the weather was a little patchy. The skipper and crew, James, Piers, Callum, Abby and our Wildlife Guide, Katie as well as Emma onshore, were highly professional but also welcoming and great fun and everything worked. The food was brilliant and, most of all, the other guests were wonderful company. We have certainly passed on our recommendation to friends and family and do hope to come again in the future. Thank you Hebrides Cruises!
