By Ferry

Despite the fact that the name of our island chain is often used as a shorthand to describe places that are remote and inaccessible, getting to the Outer Hebrides is actually easier than ever before.

You can travel to the Outer Hebrides in the same way as the islands’ settlers have done down the centuries – over the seas. The Western Isles ferry services that connect our archipelago to the mainland and our island-groups to each other offer a great opportunity to ease yourself into an island-hopping holiday and really feel like you are getting away from it all at the start of something special.

Daily timetabled Outer Hebrides ferry services connect:

Ullapool, Ross-shire – Stornoway, Isle of Lewis
Uig, Isle of Skye – Tarbert, Isle of Harris
Uig, Isle of Skye - Lochmaddy, Isle of North Uist
Oban, Argyll – Castlebay, Isle of Barra and Lochboisdale, Isle of South Uist
Mallaig, Lochaber - Lochboisdale, Isle of South Uist

There are also daily ferry crossings from Leverburgh, Isle of Harris to the Isle of Berneray and the Isle of Eriskay to Ardmhor, Isle of Barra.

If you are taking a car accross, you MUST book your ferry. We strongly advise that following booking accommodation, you then book your ferry. We also recommend both are booked as far in advance as possible, to avoid disapointment.

Ferries and accommodation book up very quickly!

If you have trouble getting your car on a ferry, there are lots of car hire options on our islands.
