Island Adventure

While the Isles of Scilly, with their own micro-climate, white sand beaches and turquoise bays, may seem a world away, they’re closer than you think.

With departure points in Penzance, Land’s End, Newquay and Exeter – plus seamless air and rail connections – getting to the Isles of Scilly, just 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall, has never been easier with Isles of Scilly Travel.

These spectacularly beautiful islands may be easy to reach, but they are impossible to forget. Wild and unspoilt, each of the five inhabited islands that make up the archipelago has its own touch of magic.

If you are planning an Isles of Scilly adventure, it pays to be organised, with cheaper travel fares for those who book early. You may choose to cruise along the spectacular Cornish coastline on board the passenger ferry Scillonian III from Penzance, which is a special experience.

Not only are the views of the Cornish coastline incredible, but the opportunities for spotting wildlife are second-to-none; it’s just been named the UK’s best ferry route for wildlife spotting for the third year in a row. Think whales, dolphins, fish, seals and birds. Sailings depart up to seven days a week from spring until late autumn.

Or you could travel on Isles of Scilly Travel’s very own airline, Skybus, which has been serving the islands for 40 years. Flying gives you unmatched views of the Cornish coastline and islands below. The flight takes just 20 minutes from Land’s End Airport (year-round), 30 minutes from Cornwall Airport Newquay and an hour from Exeter Airport (May to October).

If you’re torn between flying and sailing, you can do both with a Fly+Sail option offering the chance to book a Skybus flight to Scilly with a Scillonian III return journey – an especially memorable way of enjoying a trip to Scilly.

The Isles of Scilly are famously dog friendly, and dogs are welcome on both Scillonian III and Skybus, so everyone can experience the magic of the islands first hand.
