About This Tour
Join us for a full-day tour to the spectacular island of Hoy — the second largest island in Orkney and unlike anywhere else in the archipelago. With sweeping moorlands and rugged beauty, Hoy is great for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and curious travellers alike. Led by our passionate local guides, this tour combines stunning scenery with local stories, Neolithic wonders, and wartime history. Highlights include the mysterious Dwarfie Stane, the wild beauty of Rackwick , the moving memorial of Betty Corrigall’s grave and many more hidden gems along the way. Our small group format creates a relaxed and personal experience. Our guides don’t just follow a script — they share their own connection to the island, bringing it to life. And throughout the day, we keep a lookout for Hoy’s rich wildlife, from soaring birds of prey to seals and more. Hoy is a truly special place — let us take you there in comfort, so you can sit back, relax, and fully take in the experience.
