About the tour
The Isle of Man is an incredible blend of breathtaking coastal landscapes, sandy beaches, and stunning scenery. The island's rich Celtic heritage is everywhere, and we experience it as we ride vintage railways, explore historic towns, and enjoy the Isle's relaxed pace of life.
Every day is an adventure full of picturesque landscapes and captivating history as we journey on a horse-drawn tram down Douglas promenade, explore Peel's medieval castle, and soak up the natural beauty of the Calf of Man. This captivating island promises a getaway full of culture, beauty and rejuvenation.

Itinerary
Our holiday begins today as we meet in Heysham, Lancashire and get ready to board the early afternoon ferry that will take us to the gorgeous Isle of Man. As we sail this picturesque journey, on a clear day, we can see stunning views across the Irish Sea while keeping an eye out for wildlife like seabirds and maybe even dolphins.
We catch our first glimpse of the Isle of Man's beautiful landscape as we approach Douglas. Once on land, we stroll along the waterfront, taking in all the stunning sights on our way to the Claremont Hotel, where we'll be staying for the next five nights. After checking in, we enjoy dinner and settle in.
