| Description |
An epic sea journey which starts in the magnificent Firth of Clyde with stopovers at the picturesque Kyles of Bute and the Island of Arran. Rounding the Mull of Kintyre allows access to the southernmost islands of the Hebrides. Each island has its own unique character, making a fascinating voyage along a coastline dotted with thousands of inlets, dropping anchor in magnificent, forested sea lochs. Navigate in the wake of the “Lords of the Isles” along a twelfth century route from Gigha, Islay and Jura to the Corryvreckan Whirlpool and the Slate Isles. The proximity of mountain and island to the coast provides a breathtaking landscape which can only be appreciated from the sea. |
A taste of Scotland & Ireland will loop you from one beautiful country to another. You'll enjoy 4* accommodations and transportation with a private driver! |
