Final Ferry


The last ferry is the easiest. The ferry is literally waiting for you as you get off the bus. Here's the time-table, just in case you drive.

The ferry is small with room for a handful of cars, and maybe 50 or so people. There are some indoor bench seats, and you can also go outside on the dock. I recommend this, as you can see the island as you arrive. Just dump your bags and enjoy the view!

No bathrooms or food on this leg, but the journey is very quick (10 minutes). There are bathrooms at the ferry waiting area at Fionnphort, and again at the landing area in Iona.

If you're staying with the Iona community, they will be waiting for you at the ferry port. There were also folks there to greet people staying at the hotels. I think only Bishop's House and Catholic House guests had to make their own way--but really, it's not hard at all.
