Island Hopping - An Adventure to Iona, Staffa and Treshnish Isles

How many islands can you visit in one day? Turns out, quite a few! The islands surrounding the Isle of Mull make for great island hopping on the west coast.

“Island Hopping” tells the story of a day trip by boat to visit the Isles of Iona, Staffa and the Treshnish Isles – all from our home base on the Isle of Mull. That’s 4 islands in one day!

We explore the medieval ruins and moorlands of Iona, enjoy (more or less) a thrilling boat ride to the Isle of Lunga to meet puffins, and walk in the footsteps of giants as we stride across the Isle of Staffa.

This is a re-do of the very first Wild for Scotland episode from 2021 including new elements in the story, brand-new sound design by Fran Turauskis and some updates on the survival of Scotland's seabird colonies...
