Included Excursions

Excursion 1         An early start as we head to Penzance for our morning ferry. Travelling on the iconic Scillonian III passenger ferry takes 2 hours 45 minutes from Penzance Quay, arriving at St. Mary's around midday. You can relax in the onboard café and take in views of Cornwall's spectacular coastline, including the world-renowned open air Minack Theatre, Land's End and St Michael's Mount. The ship is regularly joined by pods of dolphins, a raft of seabirds and occasionally even basking sharks - in fact, the route has been named the UK's highest diversity ferry crossing for wildlife spotting. Whilst on St. Mary's, there's much to be accomplished in your few hours on the island. From a stroll through Hugh Town, you'll reach Porthcressa Beach and the Tourism Information Centre. From there you can head up to Buzza Tower to admire the view or walk around the headland to Peninnis Lighthouse and on to Old Town where there are a couple of eateries and a stunningly peaceful church yard where Lord Harold Wilson is buried. Our ferry returns to the mainland at 4.30pm and a later evening meal has been arranged back at the hotel.

Excursion 2         Magnificently situated overlooking a spectacular crescent of beaches St. Ives is not only a tourist haven but artists from the world over flock here to paint the breathtaking scenery. Few resorts are as memorable, with lively streets, harbour and the fishing quarter, a warren of stone cottages and cobbled alleyways.
