Finlaggan is well signposted from the main road. When travelling north on the A846 towards Port Askaig, take a left turn about one mile after the village of Ballygrant. Follow the single-track road and after half a mile take another left turn onto the Finlaggan Farm road.  Drive carefully as this is a working farm and there may be animals on the road.  The Finlaggan Information Centre is at the end of the road. Access to the island is by a path through a farm field and a bridge across the water. Visitors are welcome to the island all year.

During October the Information Centre will be open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10.30am till 4.00pm and on Sundays from 1.30pm till 4.00pm.
