Travel to and around Mull
Getting to
Ferry
Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) operates three car ferry services to the island. The most popular route connects Oban with Craignure, the island's main port which is located on its eastern coast. This service runs roughly every couple of hours throughout the day, but if you are planning on taking a vehicle it's advisable to book your place in advance!

The island is served by three local bus services operated by West Coast Motors which connect the main towns and villages, plus there are taxi services and car hire, too.
