How to get to Mull
There are many different routes to get to Mull, or should I say to a Ferry port. However, inevitably, you will need to get on a Calmac Ferry.
Caledonian MacBrayne has three ferry terminals serving the Isle of Mull, one at Killchoan to Tobermory, one at Lochaline to Fishnish and the main Oban Port.
Booking is essential if you travel via Oban to Craignure on Mull, due to this being the most popular ferry, particularly in the tourist season, a standby lane does operate but this far from guarantees prompt travel.
Crossing via Oban is not essential and you don't have to book on the other two Killchoan & Localine ports. Coming from the north, these two alternative ports are preferable and we locals use them a lot. As with all ports there is a summer & winter timetable.
