What a great week , how lucky were we , the sea was so calm, the mist lifted with the weather improving mid week, then it was too hot!! Finally got to see the puffins on the Shiants after failing on our last visit to Canna.
You have a great crew there who made the holiday very relaxing , now on a diet as definitely indulged in all the lovely cuisine and cakes and prosecco! Totally spoilt. Many thanks and best wishes to you all.

Had a fabulous cruise around Skye and surrounding islands 17 to 24 July. Weather great, with a high pressure sitting over us all week. Amazing encounter with a pod of about 200 dolphins in a flat calm sea, as well as several minke whales, and even a couple of white tailed eagles. Loved the exploration visits to various islands, including the Shiants up north, Raasay, Canna and Eigg and Skye, which we circumnavigated. Food on board fabulous, and plenty of it! Crew of Ritchie, Helen, Lyndsay and Emma very friendly and helpful, and made the week a holiday to remember. Thanks Guys! Would recommend to anyone who loves the sea, small friendly cruises, and a touch of adventure!

My wife and I have been very fortunate to have had some very special holidays in the past, but the recent ‘Skye and the Islands of the Inner Sound’ cruise with Hebrides Cruises was amongst the best. The administration and organisation were excellent, facilities above expectations, food delicious, and the cruising and land-based experiences perfect. The crew were friendly, efficient and professional, and worked incredibly well as a team. We cannot fault the holiday and would like to thank all concerned.

We know nothing of Scotland. It’s time for us to see why people like this area of the world so much. We book a tour found on the internet. The dates are right. We travel to Oban and find the pre-trip information sent to us invaluable. We wait at the dock for the crew to meet us and take our soft-sided luggage to our cabin. The other guests are prompt and the crew is timely too. We marvel at the amazing cameras and the experiences of other passengers. Two have traveled with the ship multiple times. We are focused on where we are and the journey ahead of us. Our luggage is delivered to our ensuite cabin. There is plenty of space to store our gear and thoughtfully placed shelves for items, such as cameras and binoculars we might need without digging through our bags. The double bed has a portal window and well placed reading lamps. Our cabin and the public areas were impeccably cleaned each morning while we are off to shore with naturalist, Alexa. There is a library selection of literature and guide books to help identify what we saw on walks. I noticed a scrabble game, which we never found time to play. The chef, Mags, works in a tiny galley and turns out the most amazing meals. Giving people a choice between vegetarian and non vegetarian entrees, wine is included with the dinners. A breakfast buffet is laid out and there is always a hot breakfast available. There are 8 of us on this voyage. We all eat together and take excursions in the morning and afternoon. Craig is calm and also assists the chef and helps Chris, the Captain, anchor the boat when we stop for the night. Weather and sea conditions are the great unknown in the Hebrides. The deciding factor to where we will go. Chris lets us know the itinerary will be flexible. He picks amazing calm spots to anchor each night. He is very good at communicating why we are going or not going to an island and invites us up to see the bridge. We travel to amazing sites, such as the island Inch Kenneth and Ulva, and learn the history of eac
