We return via a scenic drive through Glencoe. This awe-inspiring landscape was carved out centuries ago by icy glaciers and volcanic explosions. The road-facing peaks of Aonach Dubh, Beinn Fhada and Gearr Aonach are the mountains collectively known as the Three Sisters of Glencoe, and this magnificent landscape adorns many a souvenir from this region.

Day 4: Mull, Iona and Staffa

We depart and sail to Mull. On arrival in Craignure, we make our way to Fionnphort on the western tip of the island. From here, we join our cruise to see awe-inspiring Staffa.

This tiny island – only 1/2 a mile long and 1/4 a mile wide – is made up of hexagonal columns that were formed millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions. From our vessel, we'll see Fingal's Cave which was formed by the same lava flows that created the Giant's Causeway.

Our cruise continues to the tiny, peaceful island of Iona, where we disembark to have some free time to explore. Known as the 'Cradle of Christianity', Iona Abbey is without doubt one of the main reasons visitors flock to this remote location. We then set sail back to Fionnphort and return across Mull before sailing back to Oban.

Included meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Relax in Oban and explore at your own pace. Known as the 'Gateway to the Isles', Oban is a bustling harbour town situated on the sheltered, horseshoe bay, and is protected by the inner Hebridean island of Kerrea.

If you're feeling energetic, take a stroll up the steep streets to reach McCaig's Tower which is perched above the town and offers splendid views of the coast and islands.

Alternatively, meander around the shops and harbour, and perhaps enjoy a bite to eat in one of the many seafood restaurants – Oban is renowned for its fresh seafood!
