Day 2

An early start this morning takes us to Penzance to board our ferry for the Isles of Scilly. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for wildlife that might appear during the voyage - dolphins, puffins and basking sharks are known to inhabit these waters! Our ferry arrives in Hugh Town on St Mary's, the largest island in the archipelago, home to a cluster of shops, churches, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Explore the coastline features, large stretches of deserted white sandy beaches, dramatic rocky coves, stunning seascapes and beautiful walks that make these islands unique. We return via a late afternoon sailing back to Penzance, where our coach will wait to take us back to our hotel where a late dinner will be waiting for us.
