A WELCOME ESCAPE CLOSE TO HOME

A seabound kingdom that’s right on your doorstep.

Located in the heart of the Irish Sea, the Island is a short flight or hassle-free sail away. Flights operate from airports across the UK and Ireland or if you prefer to sail, choose between a leisurely or fast craft crossing with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company which offers sailings throughout the year from Heysham and Liverpool, and seasonal sailings from Belfast and Dublin.

Once you’ve arrived, our scenic roads are well worth a drive – you can bring your car, bike or motorhome via the ferry. A bus network serves the whole Island and our heritage railways will transport you in true Manx style – so there’s no limit to your explorations.

The best way to make travel seamless and cost effective is to buy a Go Explore card which are available to purchase online at: www.iombusandrail.im or at the airport and ferry terminal welcome centres. The card entitles the holder to unlimited travel on scheduled bus, heritage rail (including Groudle Glen and Laxey Mines Railway) and Horse Tram services for 1, 3, 5 or 7 consecutive days. To make things even easier Isle of Man Transport and Manx National Heritage offer a 5-day Go Explore Heritage card which includes unlimited travel plus admission to all Manx National Heritage attractions.
