Travel firstly to Scotland's Isle of Mull to get to Iona. Head to the town of Oban on the West Coast of Scotland from where you can take coach day-trips to Mull and Iona itself, or where you can take one of the regular ferries to the East Coast of Mull. Once on Mull, take a bus from Craignure to Fionnphort.
Take the ferry from Fionnphort on the southern side of Mull which runs to and from the Isle of Iona all day. The journey only takes a few minutes and a return ticket costs £3. During the summer months, evening ferries to and from the island are also in operation.
Book yourself into one of the hotels on Iona - there's a surprising amount for such a small island! There's also a hostel with shared dormitories and a number of self catering cottages available to hire. Bear in mind that some of the hotels don't open during the winter months.
Download and print out a tourist map of the island to help you navigate whilst you're there. You could also try hiring a qualified tour guide to show you around the highlights of Iona.
Hire a bike to get around the island. These are available from private bike hire companies or from The Seaview Guest House near the ferry point at Fionnphort in Mull. You can take bikes on the ferry crossing to Iona for no extra charge.
Visit one of Scotland's most important historical sights, Iona Abbey. An important centre of Christianity, the Abbey was restored at the beginning of the 20th Century and now houses one of the country's largest collections of Christian carved stones. The Abbey is open daily and there is a small admission fee.
Take a look at the Iona Nunnery on your way to the Abbey. The Nunnery has been in ruins since the reformation in 1560 but is still home to the beautiful cloister gardens.
The Iona Heritage Centre is also worth visiting to learn about the island's history, and is open every day except Sunday. There are also a number of craft shops, galleries a book shop and a pottery workshop to keep visitors entertained.
