Clyde Islands

Clyde Islands ~ from 50km (3 days) – 250km (10 days)

The EasyWays Clyde Islands Tour embraces the Inner Hebrides off the West Coast of Scotland and the Mull of Kintyre.

The tour offers the opportunity to experience Arran, Islay, Jura and the Kintyre and Argyll peninsulas in a combination of tour options that is capable of delivering a package to match all expectations.

The islands have reasonable public transport access from Central Scotland and the terrain offers a good mix of coastal and hill walking.

With the EasyWays Package just advise what locations you would like to visit and your preferred dates for walking and let us construct a tour that encapsulates all on a bespoke itinerary utilising public transport connections throughout and thereby keeping the price to optimum level.

All tours include baggage transfer and ferry travel with detailed advice on how to get to and from the start and end points of your chosen route.

A typical example tour might begin in Arran and end in Islay or alternatively make Tarbert your start point, visit Gigha and take in Campbeltown in the south of Kintyre  before north with a ferry crossing to Portavadie on Argyll.

Specially selected local walking routes have been identified each day giving you the choice of a short 3 day break or anything up to 10 days.

The choice is yours.

Arran

The beautiful Island of Arran, often described as ‘Scotland in Miniature’ compresses the best of Scottish scenery into its petite size of only 20 miles long by 10 miles wide. The north of the island is ruggedly mountainous, with granite peaks and deep glens, resembling the Scottish Highlands, whereas the south is more gentle with low-lying farmland, woodland and moorland.

Kintyre

Kintyre offers a variety of landscapes from tiny fishing villages to extensive conifer forests, stretches of fine coastline, open hills and moors. The narrow peninsula means that the sea is never far away, and the superb views take in many islands

Islay, Jura and Gigha

You have the option to sail to Islay (2 overnights minimum stay) to explore this stunning island, known as the ‘whisky coast’ of West Scotland with a follow on to the untamed island of Jura.

Or why not include a trip to Gigha?

Attractions on the island include Achamore Gardens and the abundant wildlife, especially seabirds.
