Recently visited Tobermory and paid a visit to the Distillery. Located close to where the bus from Craignure arrives all was straightforward, tour booking, tasting etc. Informative tour explained all aspects of the production process of Tobermory and Ledaig Whisky. The process of malting and peating was explained in detail and the guide talked through all the processes involved in a working distillery for the production of Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Also included was a brief insight into the distillery’s new Gin (‘diversification’) ???? flavoured with local botanicals from the island flora. The tasting at the end of the tour was most enjoyable with a wide choice of whiskies to sample - all with their individual character. The distillery shop is well stocked with the signature malts Tobermory 12 and Ledaig 10 (Ledchig - I think that’s the correct pronunciation) along with other ages. The shop also had a good variety of whisky glasses, and other goods from clothing to confectionery and of course the Tobermory Gin. Thanks to one and all for an enjoyable tour, tastings and of course shopping experience.

The Explore Mull Visitor Information Centre operates 7 days a week in the summer by the wonderfully helpful and knowledgeable Tim. There are plenty posters, attraction leaflets etc on display but Tim is the human touch that makes the place great. He is happy to give advice on all sorts of matters and seems able to answer everybody's questions. Well done and thank you for your help, Tim.

It is a great place to see some of the local history of Mull and it’s people! I would recommend stopping in and wandering through it. It is small and only takes a short amount of time to see everything! Please make sure you leave a donation as that is how they stay open and continue sharing the history!
7. Aros Park

Reviewed By susiedu - Kendal, United Kingdom
This is a lovely place to visit whatever the time of year and there are several different options available. The longer option is to walk along the road from Tobermory then, after visiting the park return through the woods and along the bay path. Or you can drive, park in the park itself (mind the potholes on the entrance road!) and do several different walks of varying lengths. The paths are well signed and there's a lake, waterfalls and shore to choose from. There are picnic tables too.

Really highly recommended. Had generous scrumptious toasties in a quirky setting surrounded by vines, with friendly efficient service. Brownie and tiffin takeaway just divine. Will certainly be back when next in Mull.
9. Caledonian MacBrayne - Tobermory Day Trips
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 237 reviews
Mull is wild and beautiful. 300 miles of dramatic coastline, including some excellent beaches, and a castle that's appeared in several films. The island's main town, Tobermory, is famed for the cheerful colours of its waterfront buildings and the yachts bobbing in the natural harbour, where legend has it that one of the Spanish Armada ships sank in 1588 carrying gold bullion. Tobermory is also well known for being the setting of hit children's TV show Balamory.

We took Cal Mac ferries several times on our recent trip to Scotland. We enjoyed every trip. It was fun to watch the scenery and be relieved of having to be "on point" for getting yourself from one place to another. Everyone was friendly and approachable. We really like them!
10. Mull Aquarium
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 245 reviews
A small but charming aquarium making a big splash as Europe's first catch and release aquarium. Our animals are brought in to us by local fishermen, divers and families and are returned to the sea every couple of weeks, so you can guarantee that no two visits will be the same! With informative interactive exhibits, a digital cinema room and our kids craft area, there's plenty to see and do. Get your hands wet at our touch pool stations and discover the secret lives of our sea creatures. Touch pool demonstrations run on the hour every day during the summer months (see our website for current events timetables). Tickets are valid ALL DAY so you can always take time to explore the historic harbour front and come back to see our sea creatures again! Mull Aquarium is part of the THA, a not-for-profit community company. PLEASE NOTE the aquarium is only open from Easter through to the end of October. Trip advisor does not allow us to put seasonal opening times on this page, please visit our website for up to date information.

A big bonus is that your entry ticket is valid all day so you can return at any point. It goes without saying this is a lifesaver activity if it's raining too. Despite being small there's a lot crammed in here including plenty of interactive stuff. The touch pool sessions are incredible and even the adults were involved in this. The staff talk through some of the animals and then allow everyone to have a go at holding them. I was also mesmerised by the computer-generated contour line sand pit. Basically if you build a hill in the sand a computer beams down height colour and contours on it, in real time, that alters as you change it. I think i was possible more impressed than some of the children. In another room was an expert talking through microscopic crustaceans like copepods and shrimp using a TV and microscope to capture them swimming around. Older children were enthralled with this.
