Adrian – United Kingdom

To he honest I don't think it could have been improved. The trip was what it said it was and more . Denise enthralled us all with local stories and traditions and Carson was so knowledgeable about the marine life that we all took extra back home with us . we lucky to have good weather so we could appreciate the beauty of our surroundings and spend the trip outside up close to the whales and seals alike . A most memorable day . With thanks Ade and Debbie
