Your story begins…

Mother Nature was generous with Mull. Piercing mountains and stunning lochs, Mull is a rugged masterpiece of nature. The quaint, colorful harbor town of Tobermory alone is worth the trip, but we take you further, to the tiny outlying islands of Iona and Staffa, habitat for the rare Puffins. Fingal’s Cave’s geology is a wild reflection of Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway, and the whole area is dotted with remnants of towns and churches from the Early Middle Ages.

Morning Glasgow to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park

Leaving the bustle of Glasgow behind, we head towards Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The flat terrain of the Lowlands soon gives way to rugged peaks, forested glens, and the vast, shimmering expanse of Loch Lomond. Framed by majestic mountains and dotted with over 30 islands, this iconic loch has inspired poets and songwriters for centuries. Our first stop is the conservation village of Luss, where you can take in the quaint houses and stunning views across the loch. Be sure to look out for the towering peak of Ben Lomond.

Known for its dramatic, rugged slopes, this beautiful area has been featured in films and has many stories to tell. During your stop here, your driver-guide may even share the tragic tale that has haunted this valley for over 300 years. You’ll have time for photo stops here before lunch in the local area.

Afternoon Journey to the ferry to the Isle of Mull

After a relaxing lunch, we head west to catch a ferry across Loch Linnhe. We then wind our way through the towering mountains of Morvern before reaching Lochaline, where we catch another ferry to the Hebridean island of Mull. We arrive in Fishnish and start our journey towards Tobermory. As we travel, you’ll soon see why Mull is considered a magical destination, with its rugged coastlines, lush forests, and dramatic mountains rising alongside tranquil lochs.

Day 2:

Morning Journey through Mull

Today, we’re embarking on an exciting island-hopping adventure, visiting two stunning islands: Iona and Staffa, while exploring the scenic beauty of Mull along the way.

Mid-Morning Journey to Fionnphort and a ferry to Iona

We travel along Mull’s rugged coastline, passing tranquil coves, rocky outcrops, and sandy beaches. Mull is a haven for nature lovers, offering opportunities to spot seals, otters, and eagles, so keep your eyes peeled. As we wind through lush pastures, dense woodlands, and peat bogs, we reach Fionnphort, where we board a ferry to Iona, the birthplace of Celtic Christianity.

Afternoon Iona and Staffa

Discover the serene beauty of Iona, a sacred island where history and nature meet. You’ve got free time here to walk in the footsteps of St Columba at the ancient Iona Abbey, or admire the magnificent, ancient Celtic crosses and headstones. Later, take an optional boat trip to Staffa, where you may spot puffins and other wildlife. This is home to the awe-inspiring Fingal’s Cave that is one of the most remarkable geological sites in the world. The island, made of striking hexagonal columns, was formed millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions, though local legend claims it was built by a giant.

Early Evening Ferry back to Mull and free evening in Tobermory

After a day spent exploring these remarkable islands, we hop back on a ferry to Mull and journey through scenic glens, past craggy hills, and shimmering lochs to Tobermory. You’ll have free time this evening—will you enjoy a leisurely dinner and stroll along the picturesque harbor, or perhaps seek out a traditional Scottish music session in one of the local pubs? The choice is yours.

This picturesque town, known for its whitewashed buildings and a castle; offers a glimpse into Scotland’s rich history.
