Day trip to Isles of Scilly

Day Trips to Scilly Thinking of experiencing Scilly for the first time? Why not take a day trip? The islands are just a short journey away, offering plenty to explore - or the perfect spot to simply unwind. From idyllic beaches and wonderful wildlife to island-hopping and the freshest local food, a day trip to the islands is an experience you will never forget – and it’s easier than you may think. 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. It’s the most popular way to visit Scilly for the day.
