The Five Ferries Island Hopping Adventure offers a memorable introduction to the Clyde Coast and the Cowal and Kintyre Peninsulas.

Begin your adventure when you take the ferry to Arran, the island that's known as 'Scotland in miniature'. All the most famous aspects of Scotland's scenery are displayed on this small island.

The next destination is Claonaig, from where you can explore the wild and beautiful Kintyre peninsula. After Kintyre, take the ferry from Tarbert to Portavadie to see the rich and contrasting landscape of the Cowal Peninsula, before taking the ferry to the beautiful and peaceful island of Bute.

Advance booking is recommended for vehicles on this trip.
