Touring the Small Isles

I am looking to do a tour of the Small Isles in late April beginning of May by staying on Canna (at campsite) for 1 or 2 nights, visit Rum for at least 2 nights & stay at Guirdil, and stay for at least a couple of nights on Eigg (probably using one of the bothies). There will be two of us with camping gear and a dog.
It would be great to hear from anyone who has done something similar and I would especially appreciate any advice on ferries and best way to schedule and plan my trip.
Thanks

Sorry you didn't get a reply earlier. I haven't got experience myself of the trip you are planning but for ferries it looks as though Caledonian MacBrayne are running them from Mallaig or Arisaig. I'm sure you will love this trip! Please post your pictures on the community.
I took this ferry to do just a Rum daytrip from Mallaig & back but basically a ferry departs from Mallaig goes to atleast 2 small isles & comes back the same way (which is different from almost all other CalMac schedules).
Make sure the ferry you plan to board goes to the appropriate destination island and you'll be fine. Rum was pretty beautiful even in my wee day trip, haunting almost
