Shanklin & Isle Of Wight Highlights

Itinerary

Day 1

Join your comfortable coach at your convenient local pick up point this morning, and head to the south coast for your short ferry crossing to the lovely Isle of Wight. On arrival at your comfortable hotel in the popular resort of Shanklin there will be time to settle in and perhaps take a stroll for a breath of sea air along the cliff top or visit the cute old town with its quaint shops. Make sure you have time for a drink in the bar to meet new friends before enjoying your first evening meal.

Days 2 to 3

Your centrally located hotel makes Shanklin easy to explore. You might like to browse the shops in the quaint old town or visit the lovely gardens of the Chine which lead down to the traditional sea front where an ice cream is good at any time of year! Enjoy tasty breakfasts every day and don't miss out on our INCLUDED excursions, all of which we think you're going to love. Return to the hotel every evening to enjoy lovely evening meals and a chat about the day with your fellow travellers.

Day 4

After a final hearty breakfast it is time to say farewell to the Isle of Wight today. Board your comfortable coach for the short crossing across the Solent, and a relaxing onward journey home full of lovely memories with your newly made friends.

Ryde

INCLUDED Visitor DestinationThe resort of Ryde is a welcoming seaside town on the north east coast of the Isle of Wight. It is the Isle's largest town, often referred to as the ’Gateway to the Island’. Take in the views of shimmering waters and the long stretch of golden sands, and the Pier, at nearly half a mile, is one of the oldest and longest piers in the country. Next to the pier is the hovercraft terminal with links to the mainland in less than 10 minutes. Along the Esplanade you will find colourful flowerbeds, a pretty marina and a wonderful selection of boutiques, museums and galleries. The bustling main street has lots of unique shops and eateries flowing downhill to the seafront, making this an ideal visit for everyone.

Alum Bay, the Needles & Cowes

INCLUDED Visitor DestinationAlum Bay is well known for its multi-coloured sand cliffs and stunning views across the Solent. Many homes around the world have a glass object filled with sand as a memento of a visit to Alum Bay and The Needles. The impressive chalk stacks of The Needles lie just beyond Alum Bay, and on the outermost stack stands the Needles Lighthouse, a popular photograph opportunity for visitors, either in the calm weather where the beautiful blue sea contrasts with the white rocks or in stormier weather when the waves crash. Whatever time of year you visit, have your camera at the ready!

Cowes, located on the Isle of Wight, is a vibrant coastal town known for its international sailing events, charming marinas, and lively waterfront atmosphere
