Lying 28 miles off the tip of the CornishCoast, the Isles of Scilly are an island paradise providing stunning white sand beaches, azure waters and a wonderful climate where sub-tropical plants thrive in a truly unique environment.

Cruise to the islands onboard Scillonian III, the passenger ferry, which sails from Penzance mid March to the end of October. The seas around Scilly offer a home to a wonderfully diverse range of creatures. When the seas are warm and calm you may often spot basking sharks. Harbour porpoises, common and bottle-nose dolphins, sun fish and sea birds are regularly spotted from the ship and occasionally more exotic visitors like minke whales and leather back turtles.

Alternatively fly with Skybus “the Islands own airline”, and experience a birds eye view of the South West.    Regular flights are available Monday to Saturday from Exeter, during the main season and all year round from Newquay or Land’s End Airports.
