Join your comfortable coach at your convenient local pick up point this morning, and head to the south coast for your short ferry crossing to the lovely Isle of Wight. On arrival at your sea front hotel in the popular resort of Sandown there will be time to settle in and perhaps take a stroll for a breath of sea air along the pretty prom or visit the pier with its traditional entertainment. Make sure you have time for a drink in the bar to meet new friends before enjoying your first evening meal.

Enjoy a traditional English breakfast each day to set you up properly for your day ahead.  Your centrally located hotel makes the typical Victorian seaside resort of Sandown easy to explore. Try the crazy golf on the pier for a fun activity (you don't need children!) For something different visit the Dinosaur Museum, then have a wander along Sandown Bay on your own fossil hunt - you could find a very special old souvenir with the island having one of the highest concentrations of dinosaur fossils anywhere in the world! Perhaps have a paddle in the sea or sit on the prom and watch the world go by, maybe with some fish and chips or an ice cream! Or simply unwind in one of the tea rooms or enjoy a glass of Cider in one of the traditional pubs.

You'll have plenty of time to explore Sandown and maybe go even further? Having said that, if you don't want the hassle of organising everything yourself then make sure you join us on our fabulous INCLUDED excursions to see the island on our scenic 'around the island tour', plus visits to explore Newport, Ryde and Shanklin. Not forgetting a free day for you to relax and enjoy the historic resort of Sandown at your own pace.

Relax at the end of each day with your included evening meals plus entertainment provided by your hotel on some evenings. Or you may prefer a wander out along the lovely prom to watch the twinkling lights on the sea and the traditional entertainment of the nearby pier.

After a final hearty breakfast it is time to say farewell to the Isle of Wight today. Board your comfortable coach for the short crossing across the Solent, and a relaxing onward journey home full of lovely memories with your newly made friends.
