Coach Itinerary

Day 1

After joining the coach, we make our way to our hotel and check in.

Day 2 – Cowes & Ryde

We make our way to Cowes, a lively and refined seaport town. Enjoy a leisurely walk along the glorious sandy beach or visit one of the seafront restaurants for deliciously fresh seafood cuisine.

There’s also time to explore Ryde, with its stunning gardens, eclectic mix of shops and England’s oldest pier. Take a moment to watch the many boats moored in the town’s bustling harbour or stroll across Appley Beach’s fine golden sand.

Day 3 – Island Highlights

Our fabulous Island Highlights tour takes us to many of the island’s famous sights. We visit Ventnor, a lovely resort built on a series of terraces and Alum Bay to admire the multi-coloured cliffs and famous chalky outcrop, The Needles. We also visit the historic port town of Yarmouth, which contains some of the island's oldest architecture, including a 16^th-century castle. We continue to Newport, regarded as the capital of the Isle of Wight, with a historic quayside and a selection of independent shops.
