PLAN YOUR TRIP
Tell us where you are staying, your dates and what you love, and get a day by day itinerary built around the boats and the tides. Places to eat, things to do, island hops, rest days, what to pack and what to book. Download it as a PDF, add it to your calendar and open it again anywhere with your trip ID.

LATE AVAILABILITY
Fancy a last minute escape? Island hotels, B&Bs, cottages and campsites post their spare nights straight into the app, so you can see who has room this week and book direct with the owner.

TRAVEL ALERTS
Turn on alerts and we let you know when it matters: a new advisory, a fog hold, a cancelled sailing or a change to the boats. Choose the services you use, how much you want to hear, and quiet hours overnight. Visiting? Add your dates and you also get a note the week before and each morning of your trip.

WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL
Save the whole guide to your phone before you head off. Island pages, maps, places, timetables, tides and your itinerary all keep working on the off islands, at sea and anywhere the signal drops.

Explore Scilly is an independent guide. It is not run by Isles of Scilly Travel, Penzance Helicopters or the boat operators. Always check with the operator before you travel, and remember the boat and the weather have the final word.
