School Trips to: Isle of Wight

COACH TRANSPORT

Coach Transport Options

We can provide a door-to-door coach or minibus service, transfers between Island accommodation and activities, or we can support you using your own vehicles or suppliers. Your choice!

We are able to offer you a choice from two Isle of Wight based operators and carefully selected mainland based operators.

Alternatively, we are happy to work with a supplier of your choice, as we know that some schools have supplier arrangements with local companies. We can book ferry tickets at our preferential rates, arrange driver accommodation (separate from your cohort if you prefer), overnight parking and supply all of the itinerary information they are likely to need.

Some of our current partners

Travelling in the school minibus?

We can book your ferry tickets (at preferential rates), organise overnight parking if needed and provide you with all of the itinerary information you are likely to need, including directions, timings and parking details.

Coming across as foot passengers?

We regularly host schools that are based closed to Portsmouth, Southampton or Lymington that travel across the Solent as foot passengers. We can arrange vehicles to meet you on arrival and drop you off again when it's time to go home, and everything inbetween.

Travelling from outside mainland UK?

Our coaches can come and meet you at the airport of your choice, or the Eurostar international terminals.
