The island is formed of massive basalt rocks, like the Giant's Causeway in Ireland. It is home to Fingal's Cave, a magical place (which... More

Friendly skipper and crew took us out to Staffa- seals very close up on the way out. Geologist heaven to see the columnar basalt of Staffa- very impressive. My main hope was to photograph puffins and though its late in the season I did find some. Well worth £25. More

Thanks to the company's prompt and helpful response to our e-mails we had arranged before we arrived that we would park our car at the ferry port on Mull, use the Calmac ferry to go across to Iona and spend some time there then we joined the Staffa trip from Iona but returned to the ferry port on Mull.
