The main ferry operates from Oban to Craignure, approximately 21 miles to the South of Tobermory. There is also a passenger and car ferry between Lochaline and Fishnish, and a seasonal car and passenger ferry from Kilchoan to Tobermory. In addition, there are several ferry services from Mull to the other Hebridean islands off the west coast of Scotland, including Iona, Coll and Tiree. Loch Lomond Seaplanes also offer flights from Glasgow to Tobermory.

Mull is a particularly popular destination for visitors seeking outdoor holiday pursuits including walking, fishing, bird watching and sailing.
