Scotland's Orkney Islands

Intrepid holidays are eco friendly and allow you to experience a community as the locals would. It us a great blend of activities and your own time to explore.

My second Intrepid trip. I mostly signed on for this one for nature and scenery vs. history, but enjoyed that both were included. I also appreciated a bit of time in the cities, but I booked extra days separately at either end to actually see Glasgow and Edinburgh for myself (I'd consider this a must-do for anyone traveling to Scotland for the first time). Our tour leader, Lara, was excellent, and extremely adept at dealing with some of the impromptu scheduling difficulties due to our itinerary operating at a different schedule than the typical one (read: different starting day of the week = some train/taxi issues). She also gave us our space, and we did indeed have many free afternoons and evenings as the itinerary suggests. I like not being hand-held through every single element of every day-- the balance of scheduled activities and free time was very nice. Also- please pack rain gear. Why would you not pack rain gear for Scotland? It's going to rain.

Scotland's Orkney Islands

Joanna · Traveled August 2024
The Orkney Islands are rugged and beautiful and this trip allowed us to soak in a lot of its amazing history from the Neolithic to the Norse Earls to WWII. I recommend plenty of warm and waterproof clothing and layers for the rapidly changing weather!

This trip was fantastic from beginning to end. Rhys our guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable and organised and incredibly great to talk with. Orkney is beautiful with so much history and this trip helped me see so much in a short space of time.
