How much does it cost to travel to St Kilda and how do I pay? 

​

The cost of a day trip to St Kilda is £285 with a £100 deposit taken at the time of booking. We do offer a discount on private hires which can be booked by contacting us directly. The remaining balance can be paid by cash or card on our way back from St Kilda to Leverburgh. 

 

What is the difference between a one day and two-day window?

 

A two-day window trip is the best option for a St Kilda trip, the 2 days allows you more opportunity to work round the weather as if we cannot sail on the first day your booking will be moved to the second day. If booking this option, you must make sure you are available for both days. One day window trips are on the reserve day of the two-day window trips. If the weather is good and the two-day window trip sails on the first day the one-day window trip will operate. If the first day of a two-day window is cancelled but the weather improves the two-day window trip will operate on the second day and the one-day window trip will be cancelled.

Yes you can stay on St Kilda. Camping spots have to be reserved through the National Trust who we recommend getting in touch with first.
