Experience Orkney’s most famous stones and most storied shores!

We begin with the 5000 year old stone circle. Marvel at these ancient giants.

Then it’s on to Skara Brae, the prehistoric and mysterious settlement. As the waves hit the shore you can imagine how life was thousands of years ago.

We then explore Orkney’s grandest manor, Skaill House. Discover the finery and tales of long ago.

Then take in the heathery hills of Orphir and enjoy the stunning view of the isle of Hoy. Our journey takes us over the brow of the hill where we get a glorious view of Scapa Flow and learn the significance this body of water had in the world wars.

Finally we return to the viking stronghold of Kirkwall after four hours of adventuring.
