Great destination!

Godshill is wonderful, but unfortunately due to weather conditions (fog) we spent 2,5 hours extra at the Ferry parking lot on the way out, and 2,5 hours extra at the parking on the way back. The total trip duration was about 14 hours, but we had only 2 hours at the Island of these 14 hours. There should be a backup plan for these occasions.

Amazing

My wife and I had a fantastic day. Weather helped a lot and we reached 24 ° which was very nice. We did the day trip and it's well worth it. Our driver Brendon was very funny, entertaining and an encyclopaedia with admirable knowledge. thank you for a great day our, highly recommend it.
