Included Excursions
Ryde & Cowes (full day)
We start our morning in Ryde, the largest town on the island, often referred to as ‘the town on the beach.’ There’s plenty to see along the seafront, including the oldest pier in the UK and a wide range of independent shops. Next, we make our way to Cowes, home to the world-famous regatta. Many of the town’s ornate buildings date from Queen Victoria’s time, in the style popularised by her consort Prince Albert.
Sandown (half day)
For our second included excursion we journey to Sandown, known for the long beach which stretches all the way along the esplanade. Enjoy free time to explore, take in the brisk sea air and admire the views of the pier, golden sands and the seafront.
Optional Excursion
Island Highlights tour (£14pp) (full day)
Our optional excursion takes us first to Alum Bay, famous for the iconic chalk outcrop known as The Needles and one of the prettiest beaches on the island. We then visit Newport, which is regarded as the capital of the Isle of Wight and located in the heart of the island. There’s much to see in this charming town’s bustling central square and narrow streets.
