The tour begins at the Europa Buscentre with a coach transfer to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company terminal at Belfast Harbour. After a three-hour crossing the ferry arrives in Douglas, followed by a transfer directly to the nearby Hilton Hotel. An Ulsterbus courier accompanies each group, and the tour package includes an “Explorer Ticket” which allows you the luxury of relaxed, unlimited travel on all public transport on the island. Travel by bus, steam railway, horse drawn tram, electric rail (Douglas to Ramsey) and Snaefell Mountain Railway, all on the one ticket! (For use on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.)

After your Hilton breakfast every morning, your “Explorer Ticket” gives you the freedom to explore this very compact island, at your own pace. Head north to see the famous Victorian Waterwheel at Laxey, south through Silverdale Glen to the former capital Castletown and beautiful Port Erin, or stay in Douglas to enjoy the hotel facilities, the shops and of course, the superb shows.

A relaxing dinner in the splendid surroundings of the Hilton awaits you each evening.

After breakfast you will be transferred back to the nearby harbour (depending on sailing times). A coach awaits your arrival in Belfast for transfer to the Europa Buscentre.
