Our latest cruise – what a week!
We've just returned from an unforgettable week aboard Hjalmar Bjorge, expertly guided by wildlife photographer and naturalist Chris Gomersall. Setting off from Oban, we explored Loch na Droma Buidhe, Lochmaddy, the Shiants, Caolas Scalpay, Canna, Lunga, Gometra and Loch Spelve – before returning to Oban, tired but very happy!
The wildlife didn’t disappoint. From white-tailed and golden eagles to puffins, storm-petrels, corncrake and even a minke whale – every day brought something special. Common and grey seals, porpoises, dolphins, and a red deer or two made appearances too.
We also enjoyed some cracking weather, dramatic scenery, peaceful anchorages, and a lovely bunch of guests who made the whole trip even better.
Thanks to everyone who joined us – here are a few favourite photos to share some of the magic.
