This cruise itinerary is a hotspot for cetaceans such as minke whales and dolphins; white-tailed eagles and an array of other wildlife.The "Small Isles" of Muck, Eigg, Rum and Canna, each has their own very distinct beauty and character. Island hopping around them from the sea is breath-taking, with always another stunning vista on the horizon, just waiting to be explored. Shorter cruise times between anchorages allow for lots of excellent guided onshore walks and wildlife watching.
While cruising the Small Isles, the dramatic backdrop of the Cuillins on the Isle of Skye is ever present. Approaching Loch Scavaig from the sea is amongst one of the most captivating scenes on the west coast of Scotland A shore walk to Loch Coruisk, one of the remotest Lochs on Skye is a popular choice.

Do it! If your a townie then you will be so amazed by it all and even if you live with wildlife on your doorstep you will still be amazed. As a vegetarian I was particurlary impressed by the standard of meals. Special praise to the crew in particulary, Ruth and Helen, they both went above and beyond to make the trip a really comfortable well-fed and friendly experience. Can't wait to return!

Dear Emma - A really wonderful trip to the Small Isles on the Emma Jane. In every respect it was first class. And so relaxed and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Great food. You even got some Guinness on board for me! And how nice to be provided with a packed lunch for our onward travel at the end. So many thanks to you and the crew for a lovely holiday in the Hebrides.

We enjoyed the cruise enormously thanks to an amazing crew. We feel so lucky to have experienced the stunning scenery in this beautiful part of Scotland. Good food is an essential element of any holiday for us and each meal was imaginative and simply delicious! We would recommend Hebrides Cruises without hesitation. Emma was extremely helpful and answered all queries. She described the cruises so well and made them sound unmissable. We were delighted to meet her in person when we disembarked at the end of the cruise.

Dear Emma - Val and I have just returned from a week on Mull following our fantastic cruise on Elizabeth G. We would like to thank our skipper Chris and his crew of Amy ,Morag and Sam for their friendly, attentive yet professional care .Nothing was too much trouble and we were really well looked after. We were privileged to see some fantastic wildlife including a pod of 50 dolphin and a Minke whale with calf along with many species of seabirds .The scenery from both Elizabeth G and ashore was spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed our Hebridean Adventure. Kind regards, Kevin and Val Ibson

We had a wonderful time on the Elizabeth G . The crew were fantastic - extremely competent but great fun. Chris instilled great confidence with a quiet sense of humour. Alexa was always smiling, enthusiastic and knowledgable. Craig helped everyone on the boat and was always there at the right time with anything we needed. Finally, as others have said, the food produced by Maggs was incredible. We really recommend this holiday and only hope that others will experience our wonderful wildlife sightings- including the dancing dolphins.

The cruise itinerary was excellent and the crew and food quality were superb and without fault. The weather resulted in changes to the cruise itinerary but it was explained to us by James the skipper. The attentive service and information on wildlife was amazing. Pip the chef served a good variety of locally sourced food with excellent fish particularly scallops caught the same day and delivered to the ship in Mull.

What a truly memorable week even though the weather was a little wet at times! The Elizabeth G is just perfect for cruising around the islands. Rob, our skipper, took us to the most magical places to drop anchor for lunch and at night. Some of my best memories are, the ship going quite close inshore as we watched a sea eagle flying through a rainbow back to its nest, hearing red deer calling and then fighting as it was the rutting season on the hills surrounding us when we were overnighting in a sea loch, watching wild otters swimming in the kelp with some inquisitive seals when we stopped for lunch and seeing the night sky with no light pollution or planes flying over. Mealtimes are also very special on board with everyone eating together and sharing their stories of the day and listening to the plans for the next day. The cruise on the Elizabeth G was my first holiday travelling solo so I was little nervous about it but I really didn't need to worry at all. The crew were very welcoming and the group of fellow guests were very friendly. There was always a lot of laughter at mealtimes and out on our walks. We were lucky to have Nigel on board who is a fantastic photographer so he was giving us tips on how to take photos of both the scenery and wildlife. If you are thinking of going, just book it, you won't regret it so long as you like good company, wonderful food and fantastic scenery! I am now booked on the St Kilda trip next year and am looking forward to it already...
