Staffa National Nature Reserve
Planning your visit
The easiest way to visit Staffa is with one of the local tour boat operators. Landing is dependent on suitable weather conditions.
There are no visitor facilities on the island and visitors should have appropriate footwear for rough ground and slippery rocks.
Dogs must be kept under control and away from nesting seabirds.
Please note that there are unfenced, steep cliffs around most of the island.
Staffa has been filmed on Google Streetview Treks, where you can view the terrain in advance of your visit.
Landing charges applicable for commercial operators. Please contact traveltrade@nts.org.uk for more information.

We have an ongoing programme of accessible content development. Detailed accessibility guides for the most visited Trust places are available on our Accessibility pages as well as links to useful resources.
We would love you to visit the Euan’s Guide website to review the accessibility of Trust places and tell us (and others) what is good and where we need to do better.
