Mary – United States

This was one of the best things we did in Fort William! The absolutely breathtaking views in the evening cruise, the wildlife around us, the friendly and informative narration by our skipper, made this an evening we will never forget. Highly recommended!

C
Craig – United Kingdom

Changed on to earlier seal watching cruise, had a good time with the new skippers, felt in good hands, the lasses did very well. Seen plenty of seals and some opportunistic views of Ben Nevis when cloud cleared, raining in June, who’d have guessed !
