Good knowledge staff and very pleasant. Stops could have been longer on the bus to take pictures on other side of bus.
Very comfortable on way out but seating a bit cramped on return. We enjoyed the bus journey and Abby was very knowledgeable and engaging. Seeing the flora and fauna was very interesting and we enjoyed seeing the osprey nests, the blue green waters and the amazing rock formations.

Great experience. Malcom, the tour guide was exceptionally great. The crews are friendly. The weather was perfect. My friends and I had such a lovely time. We will surely comeback again next time with another friends as I want to see more.
Excellent trip on the ferry and well organised
Excellent trip on the ferry and well organised. Would have liked a few more minutes to stop for photos or walked up the lighthouse whilst on the bus tour. Otherwise, it was a highly recommended day out even with the choppy seas! Would definitely do it again!
