Recommended tour operator: Red Funnel Holidays
Red Funnel Holidays says
With more than 500 miles of paths, there are plenty of ways to explore the Isle of Wight, whether on foot, bike or horseback. Over half of the island is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and, with high chalk cliffs, untamed woodlands and dramatic coastline, it’s easy to see why.
As well as outdoor pursuits, the island also has a wonderful selection of award-winning pubs and restaurants, many of which serve fresh produce from local farms.
Red Funnel is the original Isle of Wight ferry and holiday operator and features more than 100 properties, including hotels, guesthouses, farmhouses and apartments. Options include car hire, cycle hire, bus or taxi transfers on the island, and event and attraction tickets.
Our ferries operate from Southampton and the terminals are easily reached via the M3 and M27. Your holiday begins the moment you step aboard, with great views of the Solent, and hot and cold food including coffee, cakes and pastries. The ferries even offer free wi-fi.
