Itinerary
Day 1 Travel to IonaYour journey begins as you depart Oban on the ferry crossing to Mull. As you pass the Island of Kerrera you start to see porpoises rolling in the turbulent waters while gannets and gulls lead you on to the port of Craignure in Mull. The journey to Fionnphort for the passenger ferry to the Isle of Iona is a delight. Indeed there is a good walk just south of Craignure at Port Donain where there is a lovely beach and the chance to see red deer. Keep a look out over the moorlands for a chance to view hen harriers amidst the heather.
Leaving your car at Fionnphort harbour you will now have 3 days without the stress of driving. Following your first night in your hand picked accommodation you will be ready to enjoy the delights of this most attractive little Island.

All rooms have private bath and/or shower rooms. The hotel and restaurant offer a wide range of local ales, malt whiskies, other spirits and a varied wine list. Comfortable sun lounges and a restaurant provide stunning views over the Sound of Iona to the Ross of Mull and the mountains beyond. The hotel has wireless internet or you can make use of the internet room. There is a guest telephone box and some mobile networks have excellent cover.

Situated near to the harbour, this modern guesthouse offers wonderful accommodation. Comfy beds with sumptuous duvets await in this extremely well reviewed property. The views over the sea are sublime, and you may be lucky enough to hear the call of the rare corncrake. Relax in the spacious lounge and conservatory, designed with comfort in mind and enjoy stunning views over the Sound of Iona to Mull beyond. There is even a sauna and spa, a perfect way to end to a long walking day!

Situated on the West side of Iona, one mile from the ferry, Skerryvore is an architect designed house, built in 2011. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean it has some of the best views on the island. Skerryvore offers the warmest of welcomes from Lindsay and Joyce, who will ensure a splendid stay. The house is set in its own large garden, with a seating area to enjoy the spectacular island views. All rooms are en-suite and come equipped with all one would require to assure a most comfortable stay in this wonderful abode. There is also a guest lounge with panoramic views across the machair to the Atlantic beyond.
Today you are free to explore the tiny and spectacular Isle of Iona. The main site of historical importance is the 13th Century Abbey built on the site of St Columbas 6th Century monastery. The site is visited by modern day pilgrims and it is worthwhile spending time here to enjoy the peace and tranquillity. Wildlife to be seen includes wading birds such as curlew as they rise with their calls from the beaches and moors.
You could also walk up to the peak of Dun I, the highest point of Iona at 101 metres. The main wildlife draw is the corncrake, one of the rarest breeding birds in Britain. Even if you do not view the bird you may be lucky to hear it’s distinctive crex call that sounds like a finger being drawn along a comb.

All rooms have private bath and/or shower rooms. The hotel and restaurant offer a wide range of local ales, malt whiskies, other spirits and a varied wine list. Comfortable sun lounges and a restaurant provide stunning views over the Sound of Iona to the Ross of Mull and the mountains beyond.

Your adventure includes a trip out to the Isle of Staffa and Fingal’s Cave. The Isle is steeped in myth and legend and weather permitting you will have up to 1 hour ashore to enjoy the location that inspired Mendelssohn’s ‘Hebrides’ overture. Sea life abounds with a chance to spot seals, puffins and maybe the fin of a passing basking shark.

Following breakfast you are ready to travel back across to Mull to continue to Tobermory for your next 4 nights accommodation. En route there are many opportunities to stop off and explore the many walks on offer. Enjoy the views of Ben More, the highest mountain in Mull at over 3000 feet, giving it a famed ‘munro’ status. Golden eagles are a feature of these uplands and a site to behold as they soar along the ridges.

Overlooking the harbour of Tobermory and facing out to Calve Island and the Sound of Mull, Western Isles Hotel offers picturesque views from their harbour and sea-facing rooms, as well as from the Conservatory Bar. As well as comfortable accommodation, their restaurant offers fine cuisine, prepared from the best locally sourced ingredients to make your stay even more memorable.

Harbour Guest House which is centrally located on Tobermory’s Main Street, overlooking Calve Island and The Sound of Mull to the Hills of Morvern and beyond.
Carnaburg Guest House is one of the the original 18th Century coloured houses on Tobermory’s 'Main Street'. This 200 year old building was originally within a row of fisherman's cottages and overlooks Calve Island, The Sound of Mull and the Morven Hills beyond.
There are many opportunities to walk in the immediate area around Tobermory itself. The town is also a base for whale watching and in the summer season it is possible to take a boat trip out to search for marine mammals. We suggest the following walks:
Just south east of Tobermory Aros Park has gardens of rhododendrons, woodlands of beech, hazel and oak surrounding a lochan filled with lilies. A walk through the Victorian estate allows you to view a lovely waterfall and a chance to see woodland bird species and the occasional mink.
Around Ardmore Bay you have a good chance to see Britain’s largest bird of prey, the white tailed sea eagle. It is hard to miss these flying barn doors as they search the shore for food.
Spectacular coastal scenery is the theme a walk on the west coast and Treshnish Headland, with sculpted sea stacks, caves and arches eroded by the pounding sea. Views out the west reveal the exposed Treshnish Isles strung out in a line. At any high coastal point it is always worth scanning the sea for whales, dolphins and porpoises as they blow, leap and roll through the food rich waters.

Other Information
Is it for me?This self-drive walking holiday allows you to travel through the Isles of Mull and Iona enjoying island hospitality in a mix of hotel, B&B and guest house accommodation. Explore these beautiful Inner Hebridean islands on a variety of optional walks, from laid-back coastal paths to an optional hike up Ben More (the only Munro on the island). We include a boat trip to the spectacular island of Staffa, whose black volcanic cliffs and grassy slopes are home to puffins and guillemots. Visit iconic Fingal's Cave and its basalt columns that inspired Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture!
Discovery | Think of it as a ‘local’s guide’ to the best of the region. It includes a combination of activity and transportation to give you the freedom to explore and cover more ground at your own pace. We do all the research and organisation for you. All you have to do is turn up and enjoy!
Drive and Hike | Exploration of picturesque and remarkable destinations by car combined with walks that highlight the best of a country or region.
Solo Travellers
This trip is graded easy to moderate and all walks are optional, allowing you to choose the walks that are suitable for you. This Drive & Hike itinerary is perfect for those who would like to combine sightseeing with some of the best local walks on the Hebridean Islands of Mull, Iona, and Staffa.
Daily distances are relatively short and range from 2 to 13 km. The terrain can vary between quiet country roads, good tracks and forest paths, beach walking, to some rocky shorelines and faint grassy paths. There is one optional walk that has been graded slightly more challenging in terms of ascent, terrain, and exposure, and that’s Ben More on the Isle of Mull. At 3015ft/966m, Ben More is the highest mountain on Mull and the only island Munro in Scotland outside the Isle of Skye. If you have a head for heights, the views from the summit are more than worth the effort!
Make sure not to underestimate the length of time it may take to complete routes on rougher terrain. To get the maximum enjoyment out of the trip we recommend a good level of fitness which can be achieved by completing walks of similar distance prior to your holiday.
We specifically choose the hotels and guesthouses to ensure that you enjoy every minute of your stay. They all offer a warm welcome to walkers, traditional hospitality and delicious local food.
Single Rooms & Solo Travellers
This independent walking holiday is available to solo walkers. If you require single rooms in your party we will of course try to accommodate your request, subject to availability and at a supplement. Please note that the single and solo supplements are high on this trip as the accommodations are in high demand and generally don't offer favourable single room occupancy rates. If we receive more favourable costs we will pass these onto you via a discount.
Meals
A hearty breakfast is included each morning. Lunch and dinner are not included so you are free to choose from the available options. Most of your accommodations may be able to provide a packed lunch on request and this can be booked on arrival. Alternatively, your info pack includes details of local shops and convenient lunch stops on the way. Dinner is available either at your accommodation or nearby pubs and restaurants and your info pack will of course have details.
Most sections of the trail are not waymarked so at times it's difficult to see the path used by previous walkers. If in any doubt follow the blue dot in the app, while keeping a safe distance from the mountain or cliff edges, and you will have no problem finding your way. We also supply you with a map and guidebook allowing you to make the most of your time on the Scottish Isles.

This walking holiday is best enjoyed between early April and mid-October. Traditionally April/May has always been the most popular time of year because the theory goes that the weather is better and the midges have not yet appeared. Any time between April and October will be great.
Scotland enjoys a temperate climate, meaning it's relatively mild all year, except in winter when temperatures occasionally dip below 0 degrees Celsius for short periods. The Scottish Islands are renowned for variable weather so you should be prepared for everything; from 'dreich' days (a Scottish word for drizzly days that are a bit bleak) to days with beautiful blue skies and warmer weather. Whatever the weather it tends to be breezy so spare layers in your day-pack is always recommended.
From the end of April to October average daily temperatures vary from 9-15 degrees Celsius. Monthly rainfall varies from 10-16 mm per month on average. Generally, May-July are the driest and mildest months, but walking later in the year from Sep-Oct is pleasant in cooler temperatures and with great autumnal scenery as the leaves begin to change colour.
Getting to Oban
Glasgow Airport: the closest airport with 30 airlines serving about 90 destinations worldwide. For information on airlines and transport to and from the airport please visit http://www.glasgowairport.com/
Car: Easily accessible via the A82 following the West Side of Loch Lomond and then the A85 at Tyndrum (2.5 hrs). If you travelling from London the most direct route is via the M1/M6 to Scotland from where the M74 will take you toward Glasgow and the route North.
Rail: From Glasgow you can catch the train to Oban (3hrs) on the world-famous West Highland Line.
Bus: From Glasgow you can take the Scottish Citylink Bus to Oban (3hrs)
Getting to the Inner Hebrides
Your trip includes return ferry crossings from Oban on the mainland to Mull and return crossings from Mull to Iona. Times may be viewed on the Calmac website.
If you have a preferred sailing time for your ferry journeys, please let us know at the time of booking. Once the ferry journeys are confirmed, we can't guarantee new amendments or changes to the sailing times.

It is a requirement of booking this tour with Macs Adventure that you have suitable travel insurance that covers you for the activity and emergency evacuation and hospital care.
As you are will be walking on varied terrain and for up to 10 miles per day a moderate level of fitness is required.
Yes, the walks are not waymarked and pass through areas with vague paths you will need to be competent with a map and compass.
We suggest you book as soon as your plans are finalised as Mull and Iona can become popular over the summer months. You will find up to date availability on our website and we will always try and accommodate your plans.
You will need good walking boots (ideally waterproof), comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and trousers, a daypack and hats/gloves etc. You can download a full equipment list from our website here:
Traditionally April/May has always been the most popular time of year because the theory goes that the weather is better and the midges have not yet appeared. Although having walked the Islands in the summer I believe any time between March and October offers a wonderful experience.
Midges are small biting insects (much like north American gnats or blackfly) which are prevalent in the summer months. They are particularly bad on still, overcast days but do not bother you if you are moving, the wind is blowing, sun is shining, it’s raining, or you are inside so as long as you carry repellent for the odd occasion you may need it they shouldn’t have any impact on your experience.
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate walkers with dogs as many of the accommodation providers we use do not accept pets and several sections of the Islands are closed to dogs due to breeding birds.
As you will have your car with you (or we can offer a rental car at a supplement) you are free to stop as often as you wish en route or skip a walk and spend time sightseeing instead.
