The ferry runs from Fionnphort, at the tip of the Ross of Mull. Allow at least one hour (more in high season) to drive from Craignure, plus ten minutes to park and walk to the ferry. There is a large free car park in Fionnphort where you can leave your car while you are on Iona; the parking close to the ferry costs 60p an hour (pay-and-display meter).
The information below is provided as a guide only, and you should check with Caledonian MacBrayne for exact details, particularly for the early morning ferries from Iona, some of which run only during school term or in peak months, and outwith these times only by prior arrangement with the Craignure office (01680 812343).
You cannot take your car to Iona without a special permit, which requires prior arrangement with Argyll and Bute Council. Issued in exceptional circumstances only.
