Staffa, Scotland
  • Staffa, Scotland
  • Isle of Eigg
  • Loch Scavaig, Scotland, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
Golden beaches, jagged peaks, heather-clad hills, and remote island communities make every day in the Inner Hebrides wonderfully different. We may cruise into secluded lochs, walk among extraordinary rock formations, and watch for whales, dolphins, otters, seals, and basking sharks. Conditions permitting, we may also visit an island reserve where red deer and white-tailed eagles thrive. Our kayakers receive a full briefing before taking to the water, perhaps circumnavigating tiny islets or gliding through narrow island channels. On land, hikers may climb to ridges and viewpoints for sweeping Hebridean panoramas. We aim to visit the tiny island of Iona, just five kilometers (three miles) long yet central to Scotland's spiritual history. In 563 CE, the Irish monk St Columba arrived with 12 followers and established a monastery that became an influential center of Christianity. Iona is also the burial place of early Scottish kings and remains an important place of pilgrimage. On Staffa, we hope to explore Fingal's Cave, where waves echo between towering basalt columns. The extraordinary acoustics and geology inspired Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture. Depending on conditions, we may approach by Zodiac or land and walk towards the cave entrance. In season, puffins add another memorable dimension to our visit. We also plan to land on the community-owned Isle of Eigg, south of the Isle of Skye. Follow scenic trails through wildflower-rich landscapes while our Expedition Team reveals the island's wildlife, history, and remarkable geology. The Cuillin mountains on Skye form one of Britain's most dramatic landscapes. Weather permitting, we may land at Loch Scavaig and walk towards Loch Coruisk for magnificent views of the jagged Black Cuillin and rounded Red Cuillin peaks. More experienced hikers may venture farther, while kayakers could explore the sheltered lochs or paddle towards Soay and the remains of a former shark-fishing station. ...

Papa Westray, Orkney Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
  • Papa Westray, Orkney Islands, Scotland, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
We continue to the Outer Hebrides, also known as the Western Isles, a 209-kilometer (128-mile) chain facing the open Atlantic. On the Isle of Lewis, we plan to visit the remarkable Callanish Standing Stones, raised around 3000 BCE and set within a landscape rich in prehistoric history. Weather permitting, we hope to land at the remote archipelago of St Kilda, recognized by UNESCO for both its natural and cultural significance. Abandoned stone homes tell of the resilient islanders who once raised Soay sheep and harvested seabirds, while immense cliffs and sea stacks support one of Europe's most important seabird colonies. Across Orkney's 70 windswept islands, layers of human history unfold-from 5,000-year-old Neolithic monuments and Norse heritage to wartime remains and present-day crofting communities. Seabirds crowd the imposing sea cliffs, coastal paths beckon hikers and, when conditions allow, kayakers can discover sections of the archipelago from the water. On Papa Westray, we plan to visit the Knap of Howar, where Northern Europe's oldest known stone houses were occupied by Neolithic farmers more than 5,000 years ago. Later, experience the warmth of island hospitality at the local pub, where the Papa Westray folk ensemble Poor Man's Corner may fill the room with lively tunes and irresistible rhythms. ...

Shetland Islands, United Kingdom
  • Shetland Islands, United Kingdom
Almost 160 kilometers (99 miles) north of mainland Scotland, the Shetland Islands sit at a similar latitude to Bergen and the southern tip of Greenland. Summer brings extraordinarily long days to this archipelago of around 100 islands, rich in nature reserves, archaeological treasures, and distinctive island traditions. Depending on conditions, we hope to explore several of the following places: Between Orkney and Shetland, tiny Fair Isle is renowned for its bird observatory, distinctive knitwear, and dramatic shipwreck history. Cliffs surround much of the island, while its small community lives mainly in traditional crofts across the more fertile south. Positioned beneath major migration routes from Scandinavia, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands, Fair Isle is a paradise for birdwatchers. In summer, fulmars, kittiwakes, guillemots, gannets, shags, and puffins crowd the cliffs. Wildflowers flourish across the island, and we may meet local residents, hike through the landscape, or visit the museum. The surrounding waters are home to grey and common seals, with possible sightings of porpoises, dolphins, orcas, and minke whales. From Lerwick, we plan to discover Jarlshof, one of Shetland's most complex archaeological sites. Revealed by storms in the late 19th century, the site preserves evidence of more than 4,000 years of settlement, from Neolithic homes and a Bronze Age smithy to Iron Age buildings, Norse longhouses, and a medieval farmstead. The name 'Jarlshof' was bestowed by Sir Walter Scott in his novel The Pirate. Noss National Nature Reserve is famed for its kilometer-long seabird cliffs. During breeding season, the calls of around 150,000 birds and chicks fill the air as gannets, guillemots, and other seabirds occupy ledges in sandstone cliffs rising almost 200 meters (656 feet). Seals rest along the shoreline, while otters sometimes forage among the kelp. On the uninhabited island of Mousa stands Mousa Broch, the best preserved of Scotland's Iron Age fortified towers. Nearly 2,000 years old, its remarkable stonework still rises more than 13 meters. By day, common and grey seals may be seen along the shore, and we will keep watch for otters-known locally as dratsies. ...

Kirkwall, Scotland
View Excursions
  • Kirkwall, Scotland
Kirkwall, the capital of Orkney, rewards exploration beyond its modern harbor. Narrow lanes wind through the historic center, while the surrounding West Mainland blends fertile farmland, rolling hills, moorland, and dramatic Atlantic cliffs. Depending on our chosen excursion, we may encounter some of Orkney's great archaeological treasures, including the Stones of Stenness, Ring of Brodgar, and Maeshowe chambered tomb. Personalize your expedition with an included 'Your Choice' experience suited to your interests and fitness level. ...
