Island Hopping with Caledonian MacBrayne

Travelling from one island to another is a great way to explore the west coast of Scotland - building an itinerary that suits you best. 

When you're ready to make your reservation, you can do this online in one transaction, adding more than one route, your companions and vehicle(s) to your multiple journey booking. *

*Some of the routes within the suggested itineraries below operate on a Turn Up and Go basis, and don't require any advance booking, however, you can purchase your travel in advance of travel, online - or if you wish via our port offices. When you pre-purchase tickets for Turn Up a Go routes, you'll be purchasing an 'open' ticket for a chosen departure date, valid for the season in which you've purchased it - but it won't have a specific sailing time.

Motorhomes/caravans may be allowed on the islands we serve but you may be required to contact the community contact beforehand. Please check the relevant timetable for specific information relating to the route you are travelling on. See our summer timetables for details.  

'Hopscotch tickets' no longer exist, however if you need help or inspiration when planning your next island hopping trip with us, our suggested itineraries below may help to inspire you.
