Day Trips to Isle of Iona from Edinburgh

Iona sits inside a longer trip: the tours we describe from Edinburgh run four or five days, and each one crosses to the island. We list 2 tours on this page.

Combo tours that cross to Iona

Combo tours reach the island on different schedules; we describe two of them. The five-day one spends a day on Iona and Staffa. The four-day one crosses to Mull and Iona as part of its West Highlands loop.

Reviewers rate the five-day tour 4.9 out of 5. The four-day tour holds 4.9.

Staffa on the Iona tours

Staffa is handled differently from one tour to the next. "Spend a day on the spectacular islands of Iona and Staffa", one listing notes. On the four-day tour the Staffa trip is optional and sits outside the ferry fares.

Four days or five

Length changes how Iona fits into the trip; the two tours we describe differ there. The four-day tour calls its loop of the West Highlands scenic and historic. The five-day tour adds Eilean Donan Castle and a day on Skye.
