We loved it, quite different from our usual sort of vacation. We were well looked after. (more)Elaine Bowdery
The most memorable part of the vacation was... life aboard an authentic, well-looked after and wonderful small ship! Seeing plenty of wildlife and plotting our navigation routes each evening and morning before traveling throughout the Hebrides. (more)Victoria Hawksworth

The whole of our vacation was wonderful. The crew were all great, friendly and so helpful. The food was delicious every meal, and plentiful too! The cruise was the best way to see some of Scotland’s beautiful scenery and wildlife. (more)julie Clease

A memorable experience....The wildlife in general (eagles, otters and more!), but in particular the boat trip to Staffa and the Treshnish Isles. Being able to get so close to puffins, razorbills and shags on Lunga was an incredible experience. (more)Michael Hall
We saw lots of wildlife but I think my most memorable moment was being surrounded by nesting puffins on Lunga Island. We had a wonderful time. Scotland is a marvellous country that I can’t recommend highly enough. (more)Patricia Smith
We all loved the sheer breathtaking beauty of the island. The tour was fantastic; Jaquie was a brilliant, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Our tour was amazing because the dolphins and porpoises decided to put on a dazzling show! (more)Helen Arbon

Memorable parts?
The weather was amazing but even more so were the wonderful crew - Steve, our chef - so inventive and creative. He went out of his way to make sure we all had food we loved, but also stretched our taste buds in the way he cooked and displayed the dishes. Iain our skipper made sure all needs were catered for. For example I made an off-the- cuff remark about another hook in my cabin. When I came back from my walk there it was! Another passenger had difficulty walking- he took... (more)Etta Geras

It has been a great joy and a privilege to travel on this beautiful boat with its truly special owners, Christophe, Mike and Colette. We travelled from Holy Loch

A fabulous unique opportunity to enjoy and marvel at nature in all its glory....The most outstanding part of the trip was definitely the experience of being immersed in the stunningly beautiful environment of the lochs of western Scotland. (more)David Ritchie

The opportunity to see aspects of the beautiful inner islands from the lochs
was quite special. Fabulous sunsets and misty mornings, seals and dolphins, hikes and a little fun fishing were all memorable. (more)Janis Tratnik

Memorable parts?
Being "on the water" was exhilarating! When the weather was good, it was glorious, and when the weather was stormy, it was exciting.
Tips?
Miminize luggage. Storage space is modest. Layers are necessary. Don't forget the rain gear.
Be flexible. Much of the itinerary is dictated by weather and tides.
The vacation providers office staff are very kind to help with arrangements.
Try to take time before/after the cruise to visit Oban and Tobermory. Lovely towns.

It was beautiful. We saw seals, dolphins, a minke whale and all sorts of sea birds...Morag our cook was brilliant serving up tasty meals and even making bread for my husband who is gluten intolerant. (more)Joan Adams
I rate this vacation as one of the best I’ve had. Everything worked to perfection. The crew were helpful, friendly and skilful. It was a very happy band of travelers who were privileged to visit a seldom visited, beautiful part of the world. (more)Vivienne Clarke

Memorable parts?
I was very happy that we found the puffins rock (Dún Mòr) on Sanday. With another traveler I surrounded the peninsula with the help of a map with only a few details like some walls, the church and the silhouette of the island - no paths! But the puffins were exactly where they had been indicated on the map, and we had a wonderful, long walk. But I also enjoyed the boat trips - plenty of time to watch the sea, the sky, the birds, the seals, even some dolphins...
Tips?
Enjoy... (more)Brigitte Horlitz

We enjoyed the whole trip but most of all we liked the archaeology - it was easily accessible and everywhere.
(more)Richard Gentle
Day trip to Papa Westray was the best highlight. (more)Christine Derrick

Relaxing, get away from it all, experience immersing yourself in the Isle of Mull and its landscape and wildlife.

The sea and land safaris and the Tobermory hotel were all memorable for different reasons, but the one that ran through all of them was the excellent level of customer service. A genuine ten out of ten. (more)Jonathan Huggett
The most memorable was seeing a sea eagle for the first time. Also the train journey from Glasgow to Oban. (more)Louisa Radice
