Oceanwide Expeditions

We chose the fjord cruise for our fortieth wedding anniversary, and it was a lovely trip. The cabin was comfortable and the staff remembered our names by the second day, which we did appreciate. The guides gave a very informative talk each evening. We were a little sorry to see it end, to be honest.

Compared three providers for a week in the Hebrides and this one came out ahead on price and on what was included. The others wanted extra for the ferry transfers. Here it was all folded in. Simple and clear.

I booked the whale watching day for my husband's birthday through the site and found it very easy to do. The confirmation came straight away and the lady on the phone was patient with my questions about the tides. The boat was clean and steady, and the crew were kind to us as older passengers. We saw a pod of dolphins before we even reached the first point, which left my husband quite delighted. Would happily go again.

We were booked on our first trip with them about eight years ago and have been back most years since. The reason we keep returning is the consistency, the same sort of crew and the same care. This year the pick up at the airport ran a little late, around forty minutes, which was the only hiccup. Otherwise it was as good as ever.

Best seal trip I've been on, and I've done a few. The guide clearly knows the coastline inside out and the boat was steady even in a bit of chop. Booking was quick and the confirmation came straight away.

Sea kayaking with them was really fun and the guide was great. Booking was dead easy on the app and we got a text the night before with the meeting point. Would definitely go again.

The views from the top deck were brilliant, we saw a whale breach about fifty metres away. Booking on my phone was fine but the confirmation email took a day to arrive. Would still go again.

Booked the kayak trip from my phone on the way to work and the confirmation came through straight away. The guide was patient with my two kids and got them paddling in no time. Boat and kit were clean. Would go again.

Good value for a proper day out on the water, I'd say. The booking process was clear and the confirmation came through straight away. We did have to wait about ten minutes at the pier for the boat to be ready, which was a bit annoying in the rain. Otherwise the trip did what it said.

Booked the sea kayaking day after doing a lot of kayaking on lakes. The guide's instruction on the sea was spot on, particularly the bit about reading the tide. Good kit, well maintained boats.

The price for a full week's trip was honestly hard to beat, the cheapest I found by a fair margin. Meals were included which made a difference. Good value all round.

We needed a wildlife trip that would not break the bank, and this was the right call for us. The price included the boat, the guide and the lunch, which the others did not. The guide spotted a pod of dolphins within ten minutes of leaving harbour. Worth every penny.

Compared this with two of the big operators before booking, and they were charging a fair bit more for a similar route. This one came in cheaper and the crew were just as knowledgeable. Kit was provided, which saved us hiring it. Happy with the choice.

We went with another company the last time we did this route and it was a bit of a let down. This time it felt much better organised, with clear instructions and the crew on time. A real improvement on what we had before.

Honestly one of the best trips I've done, the guides were properly lovely and the boat was really comfy. Booked it on the site in like two minutes. Saw whales! Would definitely go again.

The guide knew every bird by name and kept pointing out things I'd never have spotted, which was brilliant. Got sunburnt though lol, forgot the suncream. The boat was clean and the seats were comfy enough. Also the cheapest option we saw so that's a bonus.

We needed something the kids would enjoy over half term, and this boat trip fit the bill. The price was reasonable compared with others we looked at, and the crew were excellent with the children. We had a great day.

We took a trip with another firm a few years back, and this one was noticeably better organised. The cabin was comfortable and the staff were attentive without being fussy. The lectures on the wildlife were clear and interesting. A pleasant voyage throughout.

Booked the coastal walking trip for the two of us and paid a fair price for what we got. The route was well planned, the guide carried the spare kit and the lunch was decent. Nothing to grumble about.

Needed something cheap for uni reading week and found the day trip to the islands on here. Booking through the site was dead easy, took about five minutes on my phone. The boat was fine, guide was really good, saw seals and a puffin or two. Would go again tbh.
