Travelling to the Isles of Scilly on Scillonian III is not just a journey; it is part of the adventure. Named the UK’s most diverse ferry route for wildlife sightings for the third year running, it is a front-row seat to some of the most breathtaking wildlife and coastal views in Britain.
Watch dolphins play in the Atlantic, scan the waves for puffins and seabirds, and soak in the magic of seeing the islands appear on the horizon for the first time.
The best part? You can experience these special islands from just £35 on a day trip – or £25 for residents of Cornwall.
More Time to Explore
A day trip to Scilly is already an unforgettable escape, but we have some special sailing dates throughout the season that give you even more time to experience island life. Our standard day trips offer around 4 hours 30 minutes to explore, with plenty of time to dine, and unwind and get a taste of island life. But on select early and double sailing days, you can enjoy up to 7 hours 45 minutes on the islands, giving you extra time to slow down and soak up what this archipelago has to offer.
Whether you choose to fly one way and sail the other with our Fly + Sail option, or make the most of a Skybus day trip for even more time on the islands, there is a perfect way to tailor your Scilly adventure.
