The Downs Breezer
Saturday 23rd May to Saturday 26th September 2026 TIMETABLE
(Will not operate 18 to 22 June 2026 during Isle of Wight Festival)
The Downs Breezer follows a circular route through pretty countryside, across the tops of the Downs with views out into the English Channel, across the Island and further on towards mainland England.
The bus links the Esplanade with Ryde town, Wootton Station, Robin Hill, Sandown Seafront, Wildheart Animal Sanctuary, Dinosaur Isle, Browns Golf Course and Bembridge.
Our open-top double deck buses with friendly local drivers run every 2 hours from Ryde. Hop on and off anywhere along the route using your 24-hour Rover + Breezer ticket which also gives you unlimited travel on all our buses across the Island.
