We are wanting to take our first visit to Ireland, but we also want to visit Iona in Scotland.
Is there a ferry from Ireland to Iona or must you first go to England and then to Scotland? Besides Iona, we only want to tour Ireland.

We are planning a 10 day trip to Ireland on June 10 with a family of 4 (adults).
During our trip in May next year, my wife really wants to see puffins.
Hope someone can help me with how to pronounce certain Irish names.
Which stadium is the GAA championship played?

Iona is a good bit out of your way from Ireland. There is a ferry you can take from Northern Ireland to Scotland but then you would have to drive or take a bus from there to get up to Iona. Driving is a good 7 hours; by bus it would be a lot longer. You could try getting a cheap flight from Dublin or Belfast into Glasgow then drive from there – again, it’s a long drive, over 5 hours. Either way you will want to take a couple of days at least.
Not sure how much time you have in total but unless it’s more than a week (you may get away with it if you had 10 days – 7 in Ireland and 3 to get to, visit and return from Iona), I would save Scotland for a separate trip.
