Arran and Islay Holiday

You can commence this tour any day of the week leaving from Ardrossan, visiting Arran first, or form Kennacraig, visiting Islay first.

Sample Tour (8 days/7Nights):

Day 1-4 - Isle of Arran . Sail from Ardrossan for the 55 minutes crossing to Brodick for three nights in your choice of hotels or guest house. Arran is an island of superb contrasts, with mountains, beaches, wild deer, seals, small coastal villages, lovely walks, seven golf courses, local food delicacies, craft studios, even a friendly brewery and distillery!

Day 4-8 - Isle of Islay . Drive to Lochranza in the north of Arran for the ferry to Claonaig on the Kintyre Peninsula (30 minutes). Drive the 5 miles to Kennacraig for the ferry to Port Askaig, and enjoy 4 nights in Islay. You can also visit the Isle of Jura, 5 minutes by ferry from Port Askaig (ferry cost not included). You also have the option of spending the afternoon in Colonsay, one of the most isolated Inner Hebridean islands. The ferry departs Port Askaig mid morning for the 70 minutes crossing and arrives back in Port Askaig that evening

Day 8 - Sail from Port Ellen to Kennacraig

Some additional ideas!
Combine with a night or two in Gigha before or after Islay. Easy to add on a visit to Mull and Skye , or the Isle of Bute .
