The Scillonian ferry offers opportunities for wildlife watchers, especially for spotting cetaceans on calm days with great visibility. Despite the promise, no dolphins or other expected marine life appear during the crossing. The journey to the Isles of Scilly is rewarding, showcasing wild headlands, beautiful beaches, and stunning turquoise waters. Hugh Town, as the capital of St Mary's, presents a quaint and independent atmosphere reminiscent of previous generations, further enhancing the charm of visiting these enchanting islands.
The Scillonian ferry is reputedly a great platform for spotting cetaceans and it's a perfect day for it—the sea is calm and visibility is superb.
Arriving in Scilly by ship is worth the crossing: wild headlands, savage rocks, white sand beaches, turquoise ocean and sudden strips of transcendentally turquoise ocean interspersed with the bronzed pawprints of kelp.
Hugh Town, the capital of St Mary's, is built on the narrow isthmus between two rocky outcrops. It's a quirky, independent town with traffic levels our grandparents would recognise.
