The countdown to our 2027 season is on and we're already looking forward to April!

April is a cracking time to explore the Hebrides. Spring is starting to make itself felt, seabirds are returning to their breeding grounds, and the days are getting longer, giving us plenty of time to enjoy what's out there.

We've three different cruises to kick off the season:

14 April | Islay, Jura, Corryvreckan & Colonsay | 4 nights – Exploring the islands, coastlines and wildlife of the southern Hebrides.

20 April | Spring Watch Mull – Isle of Eagles | 5 nights – Wildlife watching meets art, with onboard tutor Tori Ratcliffe Art - Pet Portrait and Wildlife Artist joining us for this special cruise.

27 April | For Your Isles Only | 6 nights – Heading further west to explore Mingulay, Pabbay, Barra and some of the Outer Hebrides' finest seabird colonies.

Three cruises, three different ways to start the season. Find out more and book here: hebrideanadventures.co.uk/2027-scottish-wildlife-cruises/

It's been a couple of weeks since we waved goodbye to our last guests of the season, and we've finally had a chance to look back at what was another fantastic year aboard Hjalmar Bjørge.

We've covered a fair few nautical miles, explored remarkable corners of Scotland's west coast and islands, enjoyed some cracking wildlife encounters and shared plenty of laughs along the way.

And now we've had a chance to tot up the numbers, we thought we'd share a few...

470 species recorded including:

- 135 species of birds
- 64 marine species, including 9 cetacean species
- 67 terrestrial wildlife species
- 204 species of plants, trees, mosses, ferns, fungi and lichens

43 islands visited

Not a bad haul!

A special mention to our guide Molly, who's done a sterling job of keeping track of all those species and pulling together the figures.

Of course, none of it would happen without our fantastic crew aboard the Hjalmar Bjørge and the team working away behind the scenes. A huge thank you to every one of them for another brilliant season.

And to everyone who joined us on board in 2026, thank you! We hope you've headed home with some great memories, plenty of photographs and perhaps a few new species ticked off your list.

We've picked out some of our favourite photographs from the season to share with you. Choosing just a handful wasn't easy!

So, what next?

Well, our 2027 cruises are filling up nicely, with many cruises now full. If you're hoping to join us next year, we'd recommend getting your cabin booked sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.

And we're already looking further ahead, with our 2028 cruise programme coming soon. Watch this space!

Here's to another year of wildlife, wild places and new adventures. We can't wait to get back out there!

Enjoy just a few of our favourite photographs from the season. We've plenty more to share over the winter as we look ahead to 2027!

Wh**ky, wildlife, wild landscapes and wonderful company — our Hebridean Wh**ky Festival cruise was one to remember.

These photographs capture just a little of what made the trip so special - fantastic wh**ky, memorable experiences, incredible wildlife and, above all, a brilliant group of people to share it all with.

A huge thank you to our wonderful guests, and to for bringing such fantastic wh**ky knowledge and expertise to the adventure.

What a trip. Can't wait to do it all again in 2027!

Fancy a last-minute Hebridean adventure?
7–14 September 2026 | 7 nights | Last cabin

We’ve just one cabin remaining on our Hebridean Wh**ky Festival Cruise, departing 7 September for seven nights.

We’ll be following the Hebridean Wh**ky Festival through the islands, visiting Tobermory, Torabhaig and Talisker, before joining the Festival Finale at Raasay Distillery.

Joining us for the full cruise is wh**ky expert and Master of the Quaich Ann Miller, the Dram Queen, bringing more than 30 years of Scotch wh**ky knowledge aboard.

And it’s not all about the wh**ky. Our route takes us from Mull through the Small Isles to Skye and Raasay, with plenty of time ashore and, as ever, an eye on the water and skies for whales, dolphins, otters, seals and eagles along the way.

A fairly special way to spend a week in September.

If they’ve got you thinking about your own Hebridean adventure, our 2027 cruises are available to book on our website. A number of trips are already fully booked or filling up, so it’s worth having a look if you’re hoping to join us next year: https://bit.ly/4zroSWt

The Dram Queen cruises to the Hebrides Wh**ky Festival

I'm delighted to be joining Hebridean Adventures this September for a very special voyage exploring the 2026 Hebridean Wh**ky Festival (Hebridean Wh**ky Trail).

Over seven nights, we'll journey from Oban through some of Scotland's most spectacular island landscapes, with visits planned to Tobermory, Torabhaig and Talisker before joining the Festival Finale at Raasay Distillery. In between there will be plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife and seabirds as well as enjoy the scenery.

I'll accompany guests throughout the voyage as their resident wh**ky expert, sharing drams and stories about the distilleries along the way and hosting a series of onboard wh**ky tastings...

The planning has already begun. I'm currently working with the onboard chef to create wh**ky and food pairings for the voyage, bringing together some wonderful Scottish flavours with carefully chosen drams.

I'm very much looking forward to this trip!
