Most amazing trip I’ve done. 3D2N SOLWAY Voyager tour, we had activities every day, snorkelling , bush walks. Highlight was snorkelling, it felt like we were in an aquarium. Surreal experience, thanks to Alex for the fascinating knowledge about the boats history. The crew were so kind and caring.

The Solway Lass was an absolute beauty and the crew was amazing. Arni was an awesome captain and the rest of the crew (Alex, Lya, Oden, Anna) were all amazing too. The volis (Ines and Aurelia) were also great. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Hoping to do the Solway again with friends
