Ferries to Mull
If you didn't know already, Mull is an island! So you'll need to take one of three ferries to reach us...
Oban
The biggest ferry runs from Oban to Craignure Mull. This route must be booked in advance if you're wishing to bring your car with you - particularly in the summer months which can be very busy. Foot passengers need not book in advance.
Lochaline & Kilchoan
There are two smaller ferries running from Lochaline to Fishnish Mull, and Kilchoan to Tobermory Mull. These ferries both carry cars but they cannot be booked in advance - instead operating on a first-come-first-served basis.
