Truly awesome trip

Staffa is just the most stunning island - the incredible pillars are majestic and HUGE, and Fingal's Cave is awesome even from the sea view only. The day we went the sea was too rough to land on the island, so we were only able...More

Let the Iolaire guide you to staffa

Not for the faint hearted when it comes to the rough sea on a windy day. But on a normal day it is just a lovely 45 minutes boat ride. This is my second time on the Iolaire. Us three girls were on the 2pm...More

Amazing

Had a fantastic boat trip in a beautiful wooden boat to Staffa from Fionnphort. We saw seals, lots of lovely birds and a big pod of beautiful common Dolphins, a wonderful surprise. Staffa island was far better than we imagined, seeing the caves and walking...More

Great day trip

Although it was a rainy day, this trip to Staffa and Fingals cave was amazing! The crew gave us heavy duty rain gear to wear so we wouldn't miss being able to sit outside on the ride out to Staffa. We were able to see...More

Worth the wind

Great trip to Staffa. Friendly team, waterproofs available if sat outside. An hour on the island and very knowledgeable info about the wildlife and Staffa. Will definitely be doing the to again.

Amazing, Fabulous Tour!

We chose the all-day tour starting in Oban and back. Archie met us at the ferry terminal at 7:00 a.m., and chatted with us on the 7:30 ferry to Craignure on the Isle of Mull. Once on Mull, he drove us in a small van...More

Staffa-one of the most magical places on earth!

Three of us along with a 5 year old boarded this boat out to Staffa. We were able to walk around the island and looks into the cave. I thought the walk looked challenging and not being fit, I was worried. Once there, I realized...More

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!

Answer

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
