1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
There were many unforgettable moments during the journey: seeing killer whales and dolphins near our boat or arriving in a deserted beach full of seals! But also the beautiful sunsets in the Hebrides islands... all this was made possible but the crew that were amazingly passionate and competent.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
First: do it! Then bring warm clothes with you.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Yes, through this survey we helped the biology expert to collected important data concerning the environment and the marine wildlife. This data will be elaborated in study that will help to monitor and preserve the marine life of the region.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
One of the best travelling experiences I have ever had. Thanks to the competence of the staff, the kindness of the other participants and the wonderful beauty of the Hebrides isles.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
I’m not sure if it was the sight of a pod of dolphin surging towards the boat and bow-riding or the excitement and happiness of my fellow volunteers and the crew.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Make time to unwind in Scotland before and after.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Primarily the holiday is for gathering cetacean data, so the impact should improve the environment. And the trust works with local people - no question.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Splendid wildlife, scenery, fellow volunteers, crew.
