This was my first pelagic trip and I… This was my first pelagic trip and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The best part were the leaders. They wanted to make sure all got to see each species of bird (I'm still amazed how they could spot those birds and alert the captain to stop). When a crowd was in the back to see the Iceland Gull, the leader made sure I got to the rail when I mentioned I had never seen one before. Thank you for making my first trip such a positive experience!!

Pelagic Perfection The energy and enthusiasm was apparent as soon as I saw Paul and crew! They worked hard to find and get everyone looks at the birds. The boat had the perfect amount of people so everyone was comfortable and had room to move about. The leaders were warm and welcoming and more than happy to answer questions. I found the only Mallard on the trip and Mikey was as stoked as I was even though it was, well a Mallard! Well done Paul and crew...well done! 😉 Christopher Rowe

This was my first palegic trip so I… This was my first palegic trip so I didn't know what to expect. However, I found the Paulagic staff friendly, very helpful, professional and eager to make sure that I got to see what I wanted to see (providing the birds cooperated:)

Feb 01, 2020 out of Lewes Delaware I loved the trip. Paul Guris and the other leaders are true experts in pelagic birds and marine mammals. They share their knowledge and enthusiasm without reservation. They also understand the weather, ocean temperatures and how those factors influence bird distribution. They share eBird checklists using the Pelagic Protocol with all participants; a major benefit. My only constructive criticism is that the Captain and at least one of the mates smoked cigarettes almost the entire trip, The mate was on the aft deck cutting chum which made that area marginal for anyone that reacts poorly to cigarette smoke as a trigger to sea sickness, The Captain was in the wheelhouse with the cabin door open to the main salon that participants occupied and I could smell cigarettes most of the trip which forced me to go outside in the bow (where the birds were of course) to breathe fresh air and avoid "chumming". All in all, a truly fantastic trip, and I did not get seasick from the smoke but I had to manage the situation.

Super guides Super guides, they all made sure we got on the birds. Wonderful trip!
