Hire a bike on St. Mary's and Tresco - an ideal way to cover more ground while enjoying the scenic views - as is the ubiquitous yellow golf buggy, particularly if you're not keen on walking long distances. And a seasonal community bus service on St. Mary's allows you to hop on and off at will. For an official tour with commentary and views to boot, choose a guided minibus tour to see some of the key sights on St. Mary's.
Some visitors choose to hire private boats for a personalised adventure or enjoy the waters through kayaking, wild swimming, or paddleboarding. Discover Scilly your way.
