Things to do

Scilly has something to offer everyone. Beautiful coastal walks with deserted white sandy beaches around each corner. Bronze age and Neolithic villages, castles and stories of tragic ship wrecks and lost treasure inspire the imagination where ever you go.
Exotic plants, wild flowers, an abundance of sea birds, seals, porpoise and other wildlife add to Scilly’s natural beauty.
There are lots of different excursions and boat trips to the other islands and out around the off- islands to see the wild life. These trips run daily depending on weather conditions. Trips to the other inhabited islands do not require booking in advance, some of the smaller 12 passenger boats who offer more specialist trips do require booking.  For more info please contact the operators direct.
