Beautiful trip to Staffa

What a wonderful trip to Staffa. Davey the Skipper was great with all the travellers, moving around the boat detailing the islands that we looked out upon and the wildlife we say. On arrival at Staffa he drove the boat right into Fingal's Cave (it...More

Wonderful trip

We enjoyed the trip and the commentary. And we loved our visit to the island--well anchored steps and railing for the long climb up and down.

Thank Christine J

You have highlighted the positives of the trip to Staffa with Iolaire, thanks for coming on board and for doing the long climb to see the puffins.

Best day ever

No exaggeration when I say that the happiest day of our lives was the one our family spent on Staffa. Thanks to Staffa Trips, we experienced delirious joy on the island. I have never seen my kids (ages 9+11) so engaged and in fact, euphoric....More

Magical trip to Staffa

Great trip out to Staffa

Highly recommend. An opportunity to see Seals on the way out and also the possibility of Dolphins and Whales. The commentary on the boat was well informed. Fingals cave is beautiful and a walk further around the island allows you to sit with the Puffins....More

Excellent

Amazing Trip, Boat was great and built for the cave so on a calm day he took us into the entrance. So easy to get close to the Puffins!

Thank Dom T

Lucky you getting into the Cave, we have had astonishing good weather making this possible. Thanks for coming on Iolaire to see the Puffins.

Wonderful geology and the puffins as a bonus

Very enjoyable outing! we were lucky that the weather stayed fair and we were able to land. An hour was enough to walk along to see Fingal's cave and then along the cliff top to see the puffins put on a display. All the information...More

You had a very exciting and eventful trip to Staffa and we are glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your review. You are correct about coming from Tobermory, always allow 2 hours to travel to Fionnphort.

Hello. I am looking for advice on catching a tour with Staffa. I'm afraid I did not plan so well and need help. 5/27 - We will arrive in Oban at 12:00PM by Citylink bus from Glasgow. We plan to make our way to Iona for an overnight stay. Unfortunately, the reservation in Iona cannot be changed or cancelled. 5/28 - We check out of Iona and would like to catch a late train out of Oban. We also have the option to stay in Oban overnight to give us more time to catch one of your tours. Is there any way we can catch a tour to see Fingal's Cave and the Puffins? We have to see the Puffins. Your suggestion and feedback would be appreciated. Thanks so much! P.S. I tried sending a message through the website but I think the inquiry would not go through. I clicked SEND about a dozen times. If the message actually went through, sorry for the redundancy!

Hello, yes you can come with Iolaire to Staffa leaving Iona at 9.45am on 28th May, you will return to Fionnphort for 1pm. To book please go to Staffa trips website. Hope you make it to see the puffins. Carol

Hi, We are coming up to Oban this summer, and i would like to take my family to see Staffa / Fingals cave. I think the experience would be amazing. Just looking at the other Q & As, and using google, I am trying to work out best times to catch the ferry from Oban to get your 10am boat trip to Staffa ? I was thinking of catching the 0730hrs ferry from Oban, which it says arrives at Craignure at 0820hrs. With the travelling to Fionnphort, and then foot ferry from Fionnphort, will that put us in time for the 10 o clock trip ? Or would you advise to leave Oban earlier ? Many thanks Ian

Answer

Hello Ian, Yes you would catch the first ferry out of Oban at 7.30am on Tuesday to Saturday, Monday and Sunday are different. You would have time to come straight to Fionnphort and catch us there at 10am to go to Staffa... More

Hi, we're coming to Mull early October 2017 (2nd - 6th) and would like see Iona and Staffa and whatever the sea has to offer on the day - who knows there may be a very lost puffin!. We're staying near Bunessan, so what will be the best timings to have a boat trip with you, have a couple of hours on Iona (or other way round) and then get finish up back in Fionnphort, and do we need to book in advance?

This is a good question for October. It would depend on the weather and if it is good and settled both trips would be recommended. We leave at 10am or 2pm every day from Fionnphort. The Atlantic seals should be ashore at... More
