The means to reach the remote, yet lively, Isles of Scilly are three: a two by air and by sea, ie, plane, helicopter and ship.
The easiest and cheapest way is the slow, no doubt, by ferry. The ship Scillonian part daily from the port of Penzance at the time of St. Mary's: For those not afraid of the sea (which in these areas can be really rough) and the seasickness, the ferry is the ideal way to reach these small fragments land enveloped by the ocean, becoming slowly suck water from the element on a journey of about two hours and a half dominated by sounds, lights, colors and scents that will delight you and introduce you to beautiful and unusual visions, first of all the incredible view of blue sky and ocean meet and mingle in a horizon that seems endless.

on this site you will find schedules, prices and information for St. Mary's reach by plane, using the service skybus in spectacular departure from Land's End and other cities in the south of England ( Newquay, Bristol, Southampton, Exeter).
The third half what I used and I feel that I recommended, and the helicopter flights from the heliport in Penzance, there are many direct flights daily to St.Mary 's and only a few to Tresco.
The choice of the helicopter, while expensive, can reach the islands in a very short time (20 minutes) and enjoy the prospects of land, sea and sky unusual and difficult to define in words, and to experience a means of transport that does not happen very often in life to try ... To get an idea, even if partial and not completely thorough, you can catch beautiful views from the window the helicopter, I invite you to look at the photograph of me taken during the flight and that is the background to the title of this blog ...
I can assure you that the helicopter trip was quiet and not at all troubled (even if imagined and feared the case): up and down vertically cancel the excitement and pathos typical of the acceleration of the aircraft takeoff, making the passenger feel the climb toward the sky as something slow and almost natural.

I hope to have you explained quite thoroughly the different vehicles at your disposal to reach these islands of dreams. I greet you and I close with the recommendation, whatever will be the means you choose, not to give up for any reason to spend some days in this land suspended between sea and sky, past and present, dream and reality ...
you soon!
