LAMLASH CRUISES
EXTRA COURSE INFORMATION
Lamlash Cruises have checked the tide times for your arrival day and departure day and have set your crossing times to suit as follows:
Arrival Day 2 October - 1500 and 1600

Crossing times and bookings
It is important that all participants are aware of the crossing times above as they should arrange their travel plans accordingly.
Please note we can't offer other times on these days as the tide restrictions determine what is possible.
All participants and organisers should book their place on these dedicated boat crossings on our website at the Residential Guest Crossing page:

These will be available to book via this website from the end of February.
Please note that you only need to select your outward crossing to Holy Isle when booking as your return is automatically included.
It is necessary to book in advance to secure a place and we can’t guarantee to take participants who have not booked with us in advance of arrival day.
Luggage Limits
This year we are introducing specific luggage restrictions. This is necessary for health and safety and we also feel it is best practice overall for everyone’s benefit.
We now will only accept bags up to a maximum of
10 kilograms and limited to two bags per person.
Short residential stays on Holy Isle really do not require extensive luggage and we would ask everyone to be mindful of this, keep their luggage to a minimum and definitely within these weight limits.
We are sure this will enhance the overall travel experience all round and many thanks for your thoughtfulness about this.
Bags that exceed these weights will require to be left at Lamlash, at the owner's own risk, for collection on return.
Organisers who may have specific equipment and materials needed for their event should advise us in advance to quantify so we can make suitable provision for this.
