all ferry prices quoted are single journey for one bike and rider. additional charges apply for passengers
The whisky visits arent compulsary! and you would get 2 days each on Islay & Mull to explore the area if you've seen enough distilling!
I have a couple of (none BM) friends interested and due to Calmac restrictions on numbers we could be restricted to around 8 bikes on some crossings.
