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.
Land on Lunga and sit at arm's length from thousands of nesting puffins who show no fear of people. It's the single most magical wildlife encounter in Scotland.
Sail into the cove of Staffa to walk the hexagonal basalt causeway into Fingal's Cave, the natural cathedral that inspired Mendelssohn and Turner.
Charter a private skippered boat from Oban to explore the Treshnish Isles and Staffa on your own schedule, with no fixed group or fixed itinerary.
Join a small-group live-aboard style day sail through the Treshnish Isles, Staffa and Iona, tailored on the day to sea eagles, seals or whatever wildlife is showing.
Walk the ancient abbey and burial ground on Iona, founded by St Columba in 563 AD, still one of Scotland's most contemplative places.
A fast, small-group RIB run along the wilder Treshnish coastline focused on white-tailed sea eagles, grey seals and dramatic sea caves, away from the main puffin-tour crowds.
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.
