If it piques your interest, we would invite you to step lightly into the footprint left by the Neolithic inhabitants and weave through the rich narrative of the Vikings. Remember the heroes of wartime tales, and bask in the whispering breeze of our eco-friendly renewable initiatives. 

Now, envision the third day — or extend it to the fourth, fifth, or even the sixth day — hopping between the islands of Orkney. We could embrace the extraordinary on islands such as Hoy, Rousay, Shapinsay, Sanday, and Westray.

Should you fancy additional exploration, there’s an archipelago of smaller, equally enchanting islands ready to share their stories. Each island resonates with its own unique air and enriches your journey with its intriguing history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking vistas.

Island Focus: Hopping across Hoy

Let us guide you around the island of Hoy, where a stunning landscape awaits. We could take winding trails down through this majestic place adorned with sea stacks that are like monuments to nature’s artistry!

To hike to the Old Man is a rite of passage in Orkney, a journey that serves as a sentimental link between fellow adventurers across time. As you thread your way through the wild, yet welcoming terrain, and finally gaze upon the breathtaking sight of the Old Man, you’ll not only feel intimately connected with the primal power of nature but also with the vibrant community of explorers who’ve shared this memorable journey.

Island Focus: Wandering around Westray

Known as the ‘Queen o’ the Isles’, you could bestow your affection upon the puffins who call Westray home. These colourful birds bring a sense of joy and frivolity to the cliffs with their spirited calls and playfulness.

The nearby Castle o’ Burrian, standing guard as an inviting lighthouse, illuminates the nights, casting a secretive glow on the puffins’ stage, forever assuring you that the magic of Orkney is alive, thriving, and just waiting to be discovered.
