Lưu Trú
Overnight in Kirkwall, Orkney.
Skara Brae
Long before Stonehenge or even the Egyptian pyramids were built, Skara Brae was a thriving village. Step back 5,000 years in time to explore the best-preserved Neolithic settlement in Western Europe.
Ring of Brodgar
One of the finest stone circles in the world. Dating back from 2,500 to 2,000 BC, the stone ring was built in a true circle, 104 metres wide and originally contained sixty megaliths; today only twenty-seven of these stones remain.
Standing Stones of Stenness
Step back in time over 5000 years at what may be the earliest henge monument in the British Isles. The enormous Stones of Stenness are all that remains of a great stone circle on an ancient ceremonial site.
Maeshowe Chambered Cairn
The monumental chambered tomb of Maeshowe is simply the finest Neolithic building in NW Europe. Built around 5,000 years ago, it is a masterpiece of Neolithic design and stonework construction, not least for its use of massive individual stones. Viking crusaders broke into the cairn in the 12th century and carved graffiti runes on the walls of the main chamber. Maeshowe is part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, along with Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness.
Kirkwall - Caithness and Sutherland - Inverness
Kirkwall
Free time in Kirkwall town centre - visitors can wander around the town, visits local shops or St. Magnus Cathedral.
Caithness and Sutherland
Take a ferry back to the mainland, travel through the history-soaked regions of Caithness and Sutherland. You’ll find out about the Highland clearances, a world-changing period in Scotland’s dark history, and get a glimpse of some of Scotland’s most remote fishing villages. We arrive back in Inverness early evening.

5.00The trip was a marvel from beginning to end. It wasn't just the island experience the trip north and the trip south were full of surprises and wonders. The experience of the ancient sites and the history of World War II is what drew us to the trip, and it did not disappoint. The stories along the way were riveting and brought history to life. Definitely worth the time and effort to participate in such a wonderful tour.
Excellent tour!

5.00We enjoyed the tour to Orkney very much. The sites on Orkney are amazing! Our guide, Amy, was fantastic! She was well-organized, very knowledgeable, personable & friendly. She made it a terrific trip! The only suggestion I have is that Rabbies should not use The Orkney Hotel. We paid extra for a hotel, but this hotel which we were assigned to was not worth it. While the food at the Orkney Hotel was good, the hotel and rooms are extremely out-dated.
Orkney Islands 3 day tour is full of surprises. An amazing place with so much history.
