Oban Drop-Off Guide
CalMac Ferry Terminal, North Pier — The primary Oban terminal for services to Mull (Craignure), Lismore, Colonsay, and Islay. Check-in closes 30 minutes before sailing; we recommend building in extra time during busy summer periods when the A85 through Tyndrum can queue.
Oban Town Centre Hotels — Including the Columba Hotel (Esplanade), Oban Bay Hotel (Esplanade), and Manor House Hotel. Your driver will use the Esplanade approach via Corran Esplanade, which avoids the pedestrianised George Street zone.
Alexandra Hotel & surrounding area — Corran Esplanade is the standard approach for the Alexandra and nearby accommodation. For Dunstaffnage Marina and the Sea Life Centre at Barcaldine, additional mileage applies — please confirm the full address at booking.
