Travelling to the Isles of Scilly

Located just 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall, getting to the Isles of Scilly is part of the adventure! The isles can be reached by sea during the main tourist season, and by air all year round. The Scillonian ferry generally operates from mid March to the end of October, whilst the planes and helicopters run during the winter months, subject to weather.

Skybus and Scillonian

The Isles of Scilly Steamship Group operate Skybus flights from Land’s End which take 15 minutes, Newquay 30 minutes and Exeter 60 minutes. The ISSG also run the passenger ferry, Scillonian 3, which runs almost daily from Penzance to St Mary’s during the main season.

Penzance Helicopters

Operating between Penzance, St Mary’s and Tresco, arriving by helicopter is an experience in itself!
