Planning a family day out during October half term? Check your ferry options before choosing your travel dates.
Wightlink’s October offer
Wightlink lists Kids Go Free for travel from 17 October to 1 November 2026. Up to two children aged 5 to 15 travel free with each paying adult or senior on eligible foot passenger day returns. Under-fives travel free.
The offer excludes vehicle tickets and other promotional offers. Your group must travel together. Use the booking links on Wightlink’s official offer page and check the current terms before paying.
Plan a day suited to your family
Start with one main activity. Choose somewhere close to your arrival port, or plan your onward journey before booking. Compare the time spent travelling with the time available for your visit.
Pack layers for the ferry deck, comfortable shoes and a snack for the journey. Keep your return sailing details easy to find. Leave time between your final activity and departure.
Planning a longer island break?
This day-return offer has different conditions from a holiday ferry booking. Compare the appropriate return ticket for your full stay rather than assuming the same saving applies.
Browse our accommodation and check your preferred dates at www.iowstays.co.uk. Choose your accommodation and travel together when planning your budget.
