The Sounds of the Hebrides

Travel along the world famous Sounds that separate some of the most beautiful islands of the Inner Hebrides on this 6-day cruise on board the ex-tall ship St Hilda. Listen to the myriad sounds of the sea while enjoying the incredible wildlife - soaring sea and golden eagles, basking sharks, orca and minke whales, porpoises, dolphins, seabirds and seals.

• Cruise by the spectacular islands of Mull, Oronsay, Luing, Shuna and Jura and anchor in tranquil, remote bays. 
• Bring your kayak or windsurfer on board or swim from the boat and go ashore on remote islands to explore.
• Enjoy spectacular island walks with wonderful views of the Sounds and its stunning marine wildlife.

On some of our Hebridean cruises we look at nature through the eyes of a marine biologist and even get out the plankton nets and microscopes! Do as little or as much as you want: sit back and enjoy the trip as you travel through the Sounds and sea lochs; view the spectacular mountains and fast running tides that make extraordinary spiral patterns and glassy runs in the sea; marvel at the headland lighthouses and castles and all the wildlife and, if you want, become involved in working the ex-tall ship St Hilda.

The sheltered waters are perfect for learning to sail against a spectacular backdrop of pristine coastline, mountains and forests. For extra fun, bring your kayak and windsurfer, swim from the boat or go ashore on remote islands to explore. Also don't forget your walking boots for spectacular island walks with wonderful views of the Sounds!
