Tobermory & Staffa wildlife tour

This tour allows you to enjoy the picturesque village of Tobermory, famous for its coloured houses as well as magical Staffa, home of the famous Fingal’s Cave.

The tour departs from the Ferry Terminal Railway Pier, Oban on Caledonian MacBrayne’s MV Isle of Mull, crossing the Firth of Lorn to Craignure on Mull where you join your West Coast Motors bus which will take you to Tobermory. Once in Tobermory you will head to the Staffa Tours boat in Tobermory Marina which will take you to Staffa. Sailing via the North Coast of Mull to the magical island of Staffa, you will have approximately 1hr 15mins to explore Fingal’s Cave and walk along its cliff tops before sailing back through the Treshnish Isles i. search of seals and a variety of sea life. Arriving back in Tobermory, you will then have several hours before joining The Tobermory Topper service which will take you back to Craignure to catch the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry back to Oban.

Sailings and landings subject to favourable sea and weather conditions.

We recommend bringing a packed lunch as there will be no opportunity to purchase food until you return to Tobermory.

Important Information

The National Trust for Scotland has informed us that they will be continuing their improvement work on Staffa through until April 22nd therefore, there will be no landings before this date. We will still be conducting our trips, weather permitting, and will happily showcase all that Staffa has to offer from the boat. This allows us more time dedicated to views of Fingal’s Cave, marine sights, wildlife, and, of course, the ever-popular puffins often viewed on our tours.

Landings on the Treshnish Isles remain unaffected and will continue to spend over 2 hours ashore and more if weather permits.

PLEASE NOTE DUE TO ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE ON STAFFA ISLAND FROM THE 16TH SEPTEMBER THE TOURS WILL NOT LAND ON THE ISLAND.
