Overview

The Isle of Mull, considered one of 'Scotland's Best Kept Secret', has many things on offer: from pristine beaches to incredible sea views and wildlife, waterfalls, the Abbey on Iona, the iconic town of Tobermory, as well as award-winning fish and chips and delicious ice cream!

The Abbey at Iona is known as the ‘The Cradle of Christianity’ in Scotland. Established by St. Columba in 563, it is older than the nation of Scotland, and became an important religious centre throughout the Middle Ages.

This tour is customisable, and for those not wanting to visit Iona, we can stay on the Isle of Mull, visiting Tobermory - one of the most quaint seaside towns in Scotland. Here, you can enjoy some free time to explore its famous waterfront, eat at an award-winning fish and chips, or take a whisky distillery tour. We can also visit the Aros Waterfall, Calgary Bay beach to enjoy the famous ice cream at Robin's Boat, or visit the 13th century Duart Castle, home of Clan MacLean.
