Travel to the Isles of Scilly
You can travel by boat aboard the Scillonian from Penzance
in Cornwall to the quay at St Mary's. The sea voyage makes
an excellent start to visiting Scilly, with a tour of the
beautiful Cornish coast and Lands End on the way out. If
you have a lot of camping gear or canoes etc, it is the
best option. Also once you have put you luggage on the correct
container on the quay in Penzance, you won't have to handle
it again until it is here at Troytown.
There is a helicopter service from Penzance which is fast
and convenient, running throughout the day. You can park
on site in Penzance. Fixed wing Skybus flights from Newquay
and Land's End operate thoughout the year, and in summer
there are also flights from Southampton, Bristol and Exeter.
