Enjoy longer days in the Isles of Scilly sunshine
The spring season and start of British summer time brings with it not only longer days, but the opportunity to spend more time on the beautiful Isles of Scilly. More time on the islands means you can experience more of what Scilly has to offer and even enough time to visit more than one island in just one day.
Skybus day trips – top tip
Flying to the Isles of Scilly on board Skybus, or making the most of our Fly+Sail tickets when visiting for the day means you can travel from Land’s End and reach the islands in just 15 minutes. If you select our first and last flights of the day, you can spend up to 9 hours on the Isles of Scilly.

If you choose to travel on board Scillonian III, our schedule has been coordinated with day trips to the islands in mind. Over the season, you will notice several opportunities each month to make the most of our reduced day trip fares, earlier sailing times and later returns – to give you more time to enjoy the islands and their unique offering.
