点评:A really excellent trip (so good we booked for 2026 just two days after we returned home!)
The crew were welcoming and knowledgeable, always ready to answer questions about the scenery, the wildlife, the islands, the boat (the bridge is 'open' at most times). A most enjoyable week in like-minded company - every other passenger/client contributed too, especially the wildlife guide and cameraman , James. Skipper Tony navigated a brilliant route, often visiting islands 'off the beaten tourist trail'. We often anchored in remote sheltered sandy bays, on one memorable occasion waking to the sound of seals singing close by. We landed on several islands. For me, a highlight was walking over one of the Shiants and picking up sea eagle feathers. Treasured mementos. We saw sea eagles virtually every day - and I heard (and saw!) more corncrakes than I have ever heard before, often near ruins of abandoned crofts.
It was an excellent trip - and I haven't even mentioned the food! Despite resolving beforehand not to eat puddings, I was happily persuaded otherwise by Steve (the chef) - and loved them all!
Thank you to all the crew - we look forward to seeing you again next year.
翻译:真是一次非常棒的旅行(太好了,以至于我们回国两天后就预订了2026年的船!)
船员们热情好客,知识渊博,随时准备解答关于风景、野生动物、岛屿和船只的问题(舰桥大部分时间都是“开放”的)。在志同道合的伙伴们的陪伴下度过了非常愉快的一周——其他乘客/客户也都贡献了自己的力量,尤其是野生动物导游兼摄影师詹姆斯。船长托尼的航行路线非常棒,经常造访“人迹罕至”的岛屿。我们经常在偏远的避风沙湾抛锚,有一次令人难忘的体验是被附近海豹的歌声吵醒。我们登上了几个岛屿。对我来说,最精彩的莫过于走过一座希安特群岛,捡到海鹰的羽毛。珍贵的纪念品。我们几乎每天都能看到海鹰——而且我听到(也看到了!)的秧鸡比以前任何时候都多,经常在废弃农舍的废墟附近鸣叫。
这是一次非常棒的旅行——我甚至还没提到食物呢!尽管我事先决定不吃布丁,但史蒂夫(厨师)还是很高兴地说服了我——而且我非常喜欢它们!
感谢所有工作人员——我们期待明年再次见到你们。
