The Isle of Staffa lies between the west coast of Mull and the Treshnish Isles.
This small, uninhabited island is known for its distinctive hexagonal basalt rock formations are similar to those found at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.
There is a dramatic sea cave, Fingal's Cave, which inspired Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture.
Regular boat tours operate from Fionnphort on Mull and from the pier on Iona out to Staffa, operated by Staffa Tours, taking approximately 3 hours. You can see puffins nesting on Staffa in summer by taking a walk across the island's relatively flat grassy top. A reasonable level of mobility and fitness is required to explore the rocky paths and steps in and around Fingal's Cave and the rest of the Isle of Staffa safely.
