Hi all,
We will be in the highlands in three weeks based out of Appin. We wanted to take the ferry from Oban to the Isle of Mull. There are foot passenger tickets available but no spaces for cars :(. Is it possible to spend the day on the Isle of Mull without a car?
It’s possible on your own if you only want to see one of two places - either taking the service bus up to Tobermory or doing the tour out to Fionnphort to see Iona and possibly do the `Staffa boat trip (fab scenery, Fingal’s Cave and potentially puffins.) You can also book that tour in Oban - see link below:

You don’t have to do the Staffa trip of course but it is wonderful.
There are organised day tours on Mull mainly focused on wildlife watching , one option in the link below but there are others…

Otherwise, Mull does not lend itself to getting about without your own car sadly.
There are also whale watching trips going out from Tobermory.I also think some of the Staffa/Treshnish Isles trip operators will pick up from Craignure itself where the ferry comes in but check their websites - Turus Mara or Staffa Tours.Long standing boat trip operators.
Ah perfect thanks for the info!
You can also get to Calgary Beach and to the Isle of Ulva on the bus.
