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.

This tour was the highlight of my Scotland vacation, Ron the tour guide was easy going, professional, informative, welcoming and with a great sense of humour. Every stop we made was excellent and Ron let us have as much time as we wanted. * I believe I was wth the same group that Linda S had previously discussed. I totally agree - an amazing group that added greatly to my experience. I will never forgot Dwarfie Stane! Thank you Ron (and our group) !!!

I highly recommend the full day tour to the island of Hoy in the Orkneys. We had a full van, with 8 passengers and an excellent driver/guide named Doogie. We drove to the ferry terminal at Houton, where we drove onto the "Hoy Head" ferry boat. After a pleasant 30-minute ferry ride, we arrived on the island of Hoy. We headed north to Lyrawa Hill. From atop Lyrawa Hill, you can see a salmon Farm in Scapa Flow, with Stromness (on the mainland) in the background. This was followed by a short hike to see the Dwarfie Stane, the only known rock-cut tomb in Great Britain. It was hollowed out 5000 years ago to honour the dead. We continued to Rackwick. This once thriving community is now nearly a ghost town. Three of the old buildings are now small museums. We went inside the house called Craa Nest (Crow's Nest). The view from Craa Nest is spectacular. Rackwick Bay has tall cliffs on both sides. Nearby is the Old Rackwick School, in use from 1718-1953, with a traditional Orkney slate roof. In the afternoon we visited the Longhope Lifeboat Museum. There we saw the Thomas McCunn Lifeboat, which was inaugurated in 1933. Afterwards, we drove to see a more modern lifeboat. The RNLB Helen Comrie was the first electronic lifeboat in the RNLI. Our last stop was the highlight for me. Near the ferry terminal in Lyness is the Scapa Flow Museum. I wrote a separate review for the Scapa Flow Museum. After our tour of Hoy, we once again boarded the ferry to go back to the mainland. We arrived back in Kirkwall at 5:45 p.m.

We had a fantastic day trip to the island of Hoy yesterday with Dougie from Orkney Travel. The entire day was beautifully planned and ran smoothly from start to finish. The itinerary struck a great balance—informative, engaging and never rushed. Dougie’s knowledge of the island’s history, landscape and wildlife was absolutely top-notch. He has a real gift for storytelling and made the island come alive for us. The minibus was comfortable, which made the journey in the heat, more enjoyable. One of the real highlights was the picnic lunch on the beach, lovely food and lovely scenery! Overall, a brilliant experience. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Orkney!

This trip went ahead even though I was the only person on it. Great guiding from local resident Ron. This is a well run company that I recommend using and would use again.
