Scotland’s Western Isles, or Hebrides, are a rugged place, full of unspoilt nature and wildlife such as whales, dolphins, seals and puffins. Stand on 150m of pristine windswept beach, inhale the fresh sea air, enjoy a tremendous sense of well being, and then duck into a cozy local pub for a drink.

My vacation was in the Outer Hebrides – a wonderful, awe inspiring and educational 7 days. The scenery was magnificent but one the most memorable experience for me was sharing it with five others that were just as impressed with both the location and history of the area as I was. 
(more)Memorable for me for wonderful wildlife we really saw ( so often we have been disappointed, even in Amazon rain forest). We saw dolphins and seals and lots of beautiful sea birds, we fished and laid lobster pots. We caught a lobster, along with crab and star fish, and netted plankton which we examined under microscope. (more)Absolutely fantastic for ALL ages, young and old. Colette is a brilliant cook and the meal she made out of freshly caught Mackerel fish has set a very high bench mark to beat. Michael knows so much and is a very patient teacher. We miss them dearly - thank you for a trip to remember! (more)
Everything about this trip was great, but memories of the magnificent mountain scenery I'm sure will stay with me forever. (more)Wouldn't have wanted anything different! Despite patchy weather which meant that Munro-baggers didn't get all the opportunities they would have liked, the location, the island hopping activities and above all the superb wildlife more than made up for it. (more)The highlight was seeing dolphins play in the bow wave of the ship, followed minutes later by a Minke whale passing within metres of us
