This very exciting new itinerary is truly unique, perhaps the ultimate Outer Hebridean experience. We combine a few days in the Uists with a 6-day cruise aimed at wonderful St Kilda, for an overnight stay followed by a full day on the archipelago.

Our journey begins in Nethy Bridge, and we travel via Skye to South Uist for two nights, exploring North Uist and Benbecula to see Golden and White-tailed Eagles, Hen Harrier, Short-eared Owl and Merlin, Otter, Red-necked Phalarope and more. Next we head north, taking a scenic ferry to Leverburgh to enjoy the islands of Harris and Lewis. We also explore the machair and its flora including very rare orchids in flower.

The second part of this spectacular tour sees us board our comfortable vessel MV Cuma for six nights on the ocean wave, climaxing in an expedition westwards to reach the outpost of St Kilda, one of Scotland’s five World Heritage Sites. There are no guarantees, but with reasonable weather we hope to moor overnight here, and spend a full day on the largest island, Hirta. This should give us time to look for the St Kilda Wren, a distinctive subspecies, and St Kilda Field Mouse. Soay Sheep, and the history of this remote community will likewise be of great interest. Our chances of both Storm and Leach's Petrels will be excellent (rarely seen by day-trippers) and sunrise and sunset will be spectacular in good weather. Extra time at sea will also be very good for cetaceans.

We have carefully chosen this itinerary to give perhaps the best chances of visiting St Kilda. Our voyage begins and ends in the northern Outer Hebrides, meaning we can choose the best weather to head due west on the most suitable day. We feel this is better than a pre-booked day-trip, or Oban-based cruise, which is more subject to the vagaries of the weather.
