AROUND HOLY ISLE CRUISE WITH LANDING
Departing from the Old Pier in Lamlash, the cruise around Holy Isle will take approximately 1.5 hours. The boat will circumnavigate the island at a leisurely pace, giving an ideal opportunity to view the rocky east side of the island from the water. A brilliant opportunity to spot seals and seabirds including the incredible diving Gannets whilst learning a little about the history and heritage of Holy Isle.
You will then land on the north end of Holy Isle and have approximately 4 hours to spend enjoying Holy Isle before returning to Lamlash.
Things to do on Holy Isle
You can take a walk along the coastal path on the west side of the island, viewing St Molaise’s Cave, the Healing well and Tibetan Buddhist rock paintings, whilst taking in the beautiful natural environment as you go. This path leads ultimately to Pillar Rock lighthouse (the Northern Lighthouse Board’s first square lighthouse) at the south end of the island. More details on this walk can be found on the Holy Isle website.
Alternatively, you may wish to take the path to the highest point on the island, Mullach Mòr, where you can enjoy spectacular views across the Firth of Clyde.
