Whether you fly from Land's End (year-round), Newquay or Exeter, Skybus is the fastest way to Scilly. Our planes are unique – you’ll be able to watch your pilot at work – if you can tear your eyes away from the breath-taking aerial views, that is. Skybus departs year-round from Land’s End (20 mins) and Newquay (30 mins), and from Exeter (60 mins) March - October. On arrival a shuttle bus will take you and your bags to your accommodation, or to the quay – for the off islands – for a small fee.

Flying to St. Mary’s and Tresco, travelling to the Isles of Scilly by helicopter is the fastest – and most unique – journey to an island paradise. The helicopter flies throughout the year from Penzance Heliport, just off the A30 at Penzance and just a mile from the train station. As well as easy access, you’ll enjoy a leading 20kg luggage allowance and a 15-minute flight time. Your dog can even travel onboard with you for holidays filled with dog-friendly adventures. On arrival on St. Mary’s or Tresco, a shuttle service will take you to your accommodation or the quay for onward travel (payable locally).

If you’re staying on an off-island it’s easy to get yourself and your luggage to your accommodation. If you’re flying just let a driver know your destination island and they will direct you to the correct bus. For Tresco, look out for their dedicated staff member.
