The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Walk the subtropical Abbey Garden's terraces with the very person who shapes it, hearing the plant-hunting stories behind rare specimens from 80 countries.
A late-opening, gin-in-hand wander through the Abbey Garden after the day-trippers have gone, when the light and scent are at their best.
A privately guided, full-day walk from the quay to Cromwell's Castle and King Charles's Castle, tracing the island's Civil War history along dramatic coastal paths.
Charter a local boat to slip between Tresco, Bryher and the uninhabited outer islands, landing on beaches that see almost no visitors.
A self-guided but expertly mapped coastal walk to the crumbling Old Blockhouse fort, Tresco's quietest and most overlooked headland.
Take the helm yourself — hire a dinghy or dayboat and sail the sheltered, turquoise waters around Tresco under your own steam.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
