💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~15.1 hours of daylight in July.
- The Chi-Cheemaun carries vehicles between Tobermory and South Baymouth. Reserve the vehicle space before travel, arrive at least one hour before the booked sailing and check the live service status.
- Light day: day 4 has one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill it — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
