About This Tour

Discover the heart of Orkney on this immersive 6-hour West Mainland Tour, combining breathtaking scenery, ancient history, and authentic local stories. Journey through Scapa Flow, explore the mystical Stones of Stenness and Ring of Brodgar, and step back 5,000 years at Skara Brae. Experience the dramatic cliffs of Yesnaby, the haunting ruins of the Earl’s Palace in Birsay, and the timeless charm of Kirbuster Farm Museum. Led by friendly Orkney guides, this small-group tour offers a personal, relaxed way to uncover Orkney’s past and present — with plenty of photo stops and local insight along the way.
