About

GeoCultura offers an Isles of Scilly experience with a difference. You’ll enjoy leisurely guided walks led by local experts, (maximum 12 people) in areas such as archaeology, geology, history, ornithology, gardens, lighthouses and shipwrecks and at least one pre-dinner talk and one or more private boat trips. Hear the fascinating stories of the islands that make up their history. Enjoy a private guided tour of Tresco Abbey Gardens with head gardener, Andrew Lawson, and a day exploring St Agnes with Dr. Vickie Heaney, expert ornitholigist who works with Scilly Wildlife Trust monitoring and protecting the rare birds that visit the islands. 

The tour price includes four or five nights’ stay at the 4-star, award-winning Star Castle Hotel on St Mary’s, with breakfast and a la carte dinner every evening in the Castle or Conservatory restaurant. Look forward to a range of guided pre-booked activities and island-hopping across Scilly, in the company of GeoCultura's knowledgeable local guides who call the islands home.

Our small group holidays on Scilly have plenty of flexibility, with options for each day, with mostly private boat trips to three or four different islands to see seabirds and wildlife, flora and fauna. The itinerary will be flexible to take account of the weather and tides, and the interests of the group. 

New for 2025 - we can now book return rail travel to Penzance on your behalf. Call today and talk to our friendly team. 

Solo travellers welcome – small single supplement for double ensuite room, rather than a single. .  

Ideal for first-time visitors to the Scillies who like walking each day, but at a gentle pace. We guarantee to provide some special insight into these magical islands.
