Isle of Mull & Iona from Glasgow

On your first day, you’re going to explore some of the mainland’s most memorable sights. You start with a saunter around Loch Lomond in the pretty village of Luss. A perfect spot to drink a coffee and sing the ‘Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond.’

Your driver-guide then takes you through the unforgettable landscapes of Glencoe, one of the most famous natural landmarks in all of Scotland. This beautiful area boasts steep slopes and photogenic peaks. And it's haunted by the tragic tale of the atrocities committed against a Highland clan. 

Now it’s time to reach the remote wilds of Scotland. You hop on a 10-minute ferry to a mountainous peninsula and travel to the port of Lochaline. Here you board another ferry and make your way to the east coast of Mull. Wild nature is abundant here, and your first glimpse of the magic is in Aros Park, a beautiful area boasting waterfalls and forest footpaths. In the early evening, you arrive in Tobermory with time to wander.

Overnight - Tobermory

Saying goodbye to lovely Tobermory is hard, but don’t worry, you’ll be back in the evening.

This morning, you travel past epic mountains to the south of Mull. Take the passenger ferry to Iona and enjoy your free time exploring the ancient abbey or strolling along the sandy beaches.

In the afternoon, you have the opportunity to take a small boat for an optional trip to the island of Staffa, where nature enthusiasts can seek out the abundant marine life. Staffa is home to Fingal’s Cave, which is one of the most amazing geological sites, and is known as ‘Nature’s cathedral’.

After satisfying your adventurous spirit, we take you north back to Tobermory. Maybe it’s time to try the seafood.

Overnight - Tobermory

You travel south to Craignure to catch your ferry back to the mainland. Your ferry arrives in Oban where you have time to taste the fantastic local seafood and wander around this Victorian harbour town.

You then venture to Kilmartin Glen, an archaeologist’s dream. Within this area, there are around 800 ancient monuments, including burial chambers, rock carvings, standing stones, castles and more. Your driver-guide will help you understand the significance of these and make the best use of your time here.

Your last stop before arriving in Glasgow for the evening is Inveraray, a gorgeous wee town boasting an impressive view over Loch Fyne.  Arrival time is approximately 19:00.
