  1. Has anyone done and island hopping (hopskotch) ticket with calmac for the outer Hebrides, ive booked a particular date for firsr and last journey but dont want to be tied to the ones in between, just not sure if I can do the "print at home" tickets without booking actual journies.

    Anyone know?
     
  2. I’ve been to Majorca. Is that any help?

    Can you phone the local ferry offices?
    You've been on this all morning, could have driven there by now:p
     
  4. Did the water taste ok?
     
  5. I don't know the specifics for hopskotch, but i think we changed a few ferry times.

    I do remember they were very helpful on the phone

  7. If you are planning on visiting more than one destination during your trip, then a hopscotch ticket will give you convenience and flexibility to add more than one route to your ticket. These tickets are offered for convenience only and do not offer any discount on the single journey ticket price.

    Tickets are valid for 31 days from the date of your first journey and can be used in either direction on your chosen route. On certain routes we recommend a booking is made in advance of travel.


    At the moment i think you have to make amends over the phone, rather than online.
