About this trip

The Isle of Man is a perfect opportunity for younger KS2 students to feel like they are jumping on a ferry and travelling further afield, whilst offering the reassurance to parents that they are staying within the British Isles. This small compact island is a safe option that offers a fantastic range of fun and interactive visits. You'll discover a strong Viking heritage on the island and well preserved examples of Victorian engineering but you will also have numerous opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors in the seaside resorts and the Manx countryside.

Why choose WST for School Trips?

At WST the customer is at the heart of everything we do. A strong set of values runs right from the core of our business. We believe that this is what makes us stand out from the crowd.

10/10 service from start to finish. Could not have been on a better trip. The organisation of activities, travel, the meals/restaurants, the hotel were all superb. After covid and the nerves surrounding taking 40 pupils away I can honestly say WST has put together a fantastic service.
