Exceptionally good day out. Great guides and very interesting yet flexible outing. E.g. we saw sea birds including Albatros feeding on bait fish so Michael took the boat out to see this more closely - dolphins, seabirds and Albatros - doesn't come much better than this.

Great young captain, very knowledgeable, we sat at the back outside so sometimes couldn’t hear some words.

We had a lovely time. Exhilarating, informative, clifftops, caves, stacks. And the climb! So worth it.

A thoroughly informative cruise on a luxurious Catamaran. All staff were excellent.

We loved the whole experience Staff very friendly & helpful
