By Air to Benbecula Airport    

Loganair run a service from Glasgow as sub contractors to British Airways.

This is a daily service (i.e. includes Sundays) to and from Glasgow to Benbecula at least once every day. There are likely to be second flights on several days but you will need check with the airline before making plans

Do check the latest situation before planning your visit

Information from www.britishairways.com BA desk at Benbecula telephone:
01870 602 310

There are excellent connections to Glasgow from most of the Southern UK airports, and it is entirely possible to get up early in the centre of London and be on the Loch in the afternoon.

Highland Airways also offer regular service linking Stornoway and Inverness with Benbecula – this could be useful for some visitors

By Ferry
A range of ferry services are available from Caledonian MacBrayne.

From Uig on Skye to Lochmaddy on North Uist; and to Tarbert on Harris.

 

From Oban or Mallaig, both on the mainland to Castlebay on Barra, and Lochboisdale on South Uist. 

From Ullapool to Stornaway on Lewis.

Choice of ferry will depend on your starting point, and how far you wish to drive. Ferry journeys are of very different length, and of very different comfort, rather depending on the weather.

If travelling by car in the summer, it is essential to book well in advance from:
Caledonian MacBrayne, Head office, The Ferry Terminal, Gourock, Scotland PA19 1QP

Telephone: 01475 650 100

Once you have landed
A car is essential in order to able to travel between the lochs.

You can either bring your own car on the ferry, or a range of vehicles can be hired from the following car hire companies.

Alternatively I have a 4 x 4 which we can use to “ferry you around the island” as required.

Let’s discuss the options.
