We saw lots of wildlife but I think my most memorable moment was being surrounded by nesting puffins on Lunga Island. We had a wonderful time. Scotland is a marvellous country that I can’t recommend highly enough. (more)Patricia Smith
We all loved the sheer breathtaking beauty of the island. The tour was fantastic; Jaquie was a brilliant, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Our tour was amazing because the dolphins and porpoises decided to put on a dazzling show! (more)Helen Arbon
We spent all day in the wild life and we have been rewarded by spotting eagles and deer's a little far away but great. we definitely enjoyed the superb environment in Mull. (more)Diego Maritano

The sea and land safaris and the Tobermory hotel were all memorable for different reasons, but the one that ran through all of them was the excellent level of customer service. A genuine ten out of ten. (more)Jonathan Huggett
The most memorable was seeing a sea eagle for the first time. Also the train journey from Glasgow to Oban. (more)Louisa Radice
Very enjoyable and well organised....The scenery was absolutely stunning even if the weather wasn't great but that's the risk with going to Scotland any time of year. (more)Jennifer Lacey

The highlight was seeing a leopard walk by, less than 10 meters away at Yala National Park. Our holiday exceeded our expectations. Due to the knowledge of our guide we saw so many species of animals and birds, giving my husband many opportunities to practice his photography. (more)Tania Mills
Safari at Uda Walawe National Park was the most memorable moment. (more)Eleni Josephides

Best bit: Our drive from Harstad airport to Andenes. The scenery was stunning, the traffic negligible and we spotted a moose, a dolphin and a pair of white-tailed eagles. (more)Susan Churcher
Seeing the Northern Lights - we were lucky to see them as both the night before and after the skies had been too cloudy, it was a very surreal experience - they were so ethereal and beautiful. (more)Amandeep Manget

We did not do a 12 day highlights holiday. Instead we contacted the holiday provider direct and with them planned a 19 day trip. See below for views on this process.
As far as memorable experiences, the list is endless. Perito Moreno glacier was amazing to see and hear - it really is blue in parts, and it was well worth paying extra to do the mini-trek. A great experience. So was horse-riding with a gaucho. Hiring a car and doing a 4 night circular tour from Salta was great.... (more)Ro Lynam

We especially loved the second day of our tour, when we climbed the Sigiriya rock fortress in the morning, had a traditional lunch in a village near Habarana
and interacted with the villagers in the afternoon, then saw elephants in Minneriya National Park in the evening. It was a perfect combination of everything that Sri Lanka has to offer. We also really enjoyed the campfire dinner at Big Game Camp in Udawalawe National Park.
Tips?
Check with the tour company what... (more)Roxana Feier

We had three boat trips to see the whales and dolphins. All 3 were great we saw animals every time and different ones each day. The crew were friendly and gave lots of information verbal and written. I was particularly moved by their obvious sensitivity towards the mammals. (more)Linda Hudson

Not a good trip but good birds.
(more)Martyn Todd
finally seeing a Leopard in the wild, it was not without its stress as there were too many jeeps trying to populate a very small space but eventually we were lucky and had wonderful views as an adult female came down to drink at a waterhole. (more)Chris Rose
the most memorable part was seeing what I went to see - leopards and whales! (more)Susan Fox

Difficult to decide. Seeing so many whales and dolphins, the insight that the leader (Lisa) imparted in describing their behaviour, the beauty of Faial island.
Tips?
Stay relaxed and enjoy the experience and learn from the tour leader.
Local benefits?
Yes, right from the extensive briefing information received before the tour to seeing some of the oceanic problems at first hand. This then gets imparted to the local community encouraging them to act responsibly.

Swimming with dolphins. On our trip we spotted a large pod of Atlantic spotted dolphins (our guide estimated 500) and we slipped into the water and swam
with them. They were everywhere and you could hear their clicking a high pitched whistling as well as almost being able to touch them they were so close. (more)Roy White
Canyoning - really thrilling! Great! (more)Ilona Kish

The whole experience was wonderful. Sotiris, our skipper was fantastic , very professional, kind and fun. This holiday was wonderful...it could not have been better...we should have stayed longer. It really was a very unique experience, very special to me. (more)Joanne David
Excellent! Every aspect was amazing. My partner and I are both deeply grateful to everyone who works for the operator for making such a special and memorable experience. We will almost certainly be booking up again! (more)Alison Crawford
A fabulous holiday. Sotiri and Melita were delightful and knowledgeable hosts. Annie who did the reservations was efficient and friendly. The boat was well equipped, safe and comfortable and the fellow guests good company. (more)Susan Sargeant

The highlight was the blue whales. A superb experience, and we would have changed hardly anything once we were there, although we had big problems with the flights both ways. (more)Wendy Cadman
Actually getting to see the whales as described - Blue, Fin, Sperm and Sei, as well as 3 different types of dolphins. Lisa is so experienced and enthusiastic, and the skipper of the boat was very skilled too. (more)Swee-Im Ung
Informative, even as to the exact moment to click the camera shutter, skilled in being in the right place at the right time, positioning the boat for everyone's advantage, including the whale's, knowing the whales' routines, and even helping organise the non-water days. (more)Jean Tuck

It fully lived up to our expectations.....Seeing a group of four sperm whales resting together on the surface just in front of the boat (more)Siobhan Chapman
We were on the cat and a huge gasp went up from everyone on board; a fin whale had swum in front of the boat and opened its mouth out of the water to feed. It was only a split second but that sight is engraved on my memory. My partner didn't see it, he was looking the other way at the time. (more)Margaret Merris
Going out to sea in a small RIB to watch the dolphins and the whales. An excellent holiday with very knowledgeable marine biologists on board the boats. (more)Jennifer Gough

Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation? Yes, very much so
(more)MARGARET SPECTOR
Very good overall, wonderful experiences with the highlights of the grey whales and whale sharks. I was pleased that as much as possible we were careful about the trips we were on in terms of environmental responsibility. I felt we were well supported by local people and I hope they feel our visit benefits them! (more)Fiona Buck

Memorable parts?
Seeing the whales at close quarters, particularly a mother and calf on our firs day at sea.
Tips?
If there is any possibility you might be seasick take medication before you go out to sea. On all three days I went out at least one person was sick and so was
unable to enjoy the whale watching.
Local benefits?
Yes. The whale watching trips were very respectful of the wildlife, and were also used to record information about the local whale population. We were... (more)Margaret Woskett

Memorable parts?
The thrill of such a variety of remarkable landscapes. It was like being on another planet and truly wonderful.
Tips?
Make sure you know exactly what is paid for. e.g. just because the trips are on the itinerary don't assume they are included. Also I was told of various ways I could get from the airport to the ship and I booked and paid for a return bus but at the last minute was told Pro-Ocean had arranged for pick-up at the airport. A little lack of organisation.... (more)Jeanette Morrison
