May 18, 2026
Are you looking to explore Scotland this Summer? A staycation with the kids and looking for ideas? Exploring the stunning western isles of our beautiful country would be our recommendation and not just that, we can help you get there in comfort and style!
Nestled off the west coast of Scotland is the Isle of Islay – renowned around the world for its incredible whisky distilleries, stunning coastlines and diverse wildlife.
A Seamless Journey
The main reason why a lot of people are put off visiting our stunning island communities is because they are either unsure on how to get there or don’t want the stress of island hopping. That’s where we come in. We have been helping people explore our beautiful country for over 25 years, ensuring they have a comfortable, relaxing journey to their destination. Wherever you are in Scotland, we can take you directly to the Isle of Islay via the Kennacraig ferry terminal which connects mainland Scotland to Port Ellen on the Isle of Islay.
We can either drive you to Kennacraig where you can board yourself or if you wish to continue with our service, we can book to bring the vehicle on board and continue to provide you with our incredible chauffeur service on Islay!
Islay Essentials
The Isle of Islay is home to some of the world’s best distilleries including Ardeg, Bowmore and Laphroaig distilleries. Each of them have their own unique experience including tours of the distilleries which delve into the history of whisky-making and their own journey as well as some whisky tasting – perfect for any whisky connoisseurs!
If whisky tasting isn’t your thing then there is still plenty of things to do on Islay. A fan of outdoor activities like kayaking, fishing or golf? All of this and much more is in abundance on the Isle of Islay. The nature reserve at Loch Gruinart is the perfect place for those who are birdwatchers or love wildlife in general. There are several colonies of seals here so a boat trip usually guarantees spotting them & dolphins do often swim alongside the boats.
For those seeking something more relaxed, the white sandy beaches are perfect for a chilled walk with plenty of stunning scenery and waterfalls to give you that zen feeling. If you’re interested in history then a visit to the Museum of Islay Life in Port Charlotte is a must and there are plenty of historical sites on the island such as Finlaggan – the seat of the Lords of the Isles and Dunnyvaig Castle.
