Which ticket is right for you?

Every journey is different. You may be planning a week-long Isle of Wight getaway, in which you want to explore every corner of the Island, or you might be popping across the Solent for a quick day trip.

Let us help you find the right ticket for your plans.

I want the freedom to explore the Island completely

Follow the coastal road, stop for lunch in a seaside town or take an unexpected turning just to see where it leads – arriving in a car, van or motorcycle gives you the most freedom to explore the Island to your heart’s content.

If you’re bringing a car or van in particular, you can pack the walking boots, beach towels and everything else you need for your getaway.

Recommended: Vehicle tickets or motorcycle tickets

I want to leave the car behind or I'm making a short day trip

Step off the ferry as a foot passenger and let the Island’s bus and train networks take you from there.

Whether you arrive in Ryde or Yarmouth, there are excellent public transport routes to get you all around the Island, so you can travel far and wide without getting behind the wheel.

I travel to and from the Island a lot

Check out our range of Multilink Passes and Season Tickets to see how you could save.
