Our tour starts from port of Kirkwall where your guide for the day will be waiting for you close to the port. With our bright purple buses and distinctive WOW Scotland uniforms we are are hard to miss!

The day starts off with a real highlight, a visit to one of the oldest villages in Europe, Skara Brae.

Our next stop is to the Ring of Brodgar where you will have time to wander around the stones in the company of your expert guide.

Our next stop is the Stones of Stenness. Although not as famous as their next door cousin’s at Brodgar (they are only a few hundred metres apart!) they are no less impressive. In fact, for many people they are even more impressive, in particular as you can still currently go right up to the stones and touch them!

A visit to the Orkney Islands wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the Italian Chapel. This tiny church was built by Italian POWs in WW2, and is a poignant reminder of the time they spent on the island.

Our tour ends back in Kirkwall where we can either drop you off back at the ship, or give you time to explore Kirkwall, which we highly recommend. A free shuttle bus will take you back to the port at the end of the day, although as it is only a small town it will be within easy walking distance for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness.
