The tour "10 Day / 9 Nights - Orkney Explorer Walking Adventure" starts from and ends in Inverness. It is a walking tour that takes 10 days taking you through Orkney Islands and Inverness in Scotland. "10 Day / 9 Nights - Orkney Explorer Walking Adventure" is a guided group tour that includes accommodation in hotels, transport and others.

The Orkney Isles Archipelago is engulfing about 70 islands of which 20 are inhabited and our Orkney Explorer Walking Trip explores many of them.

Much of Orkney Mainland is low lying, making it an ideal place to pull on a pair of walking boots and tackle a trail or two. There are excellent options on the Orkney mainland, with a walk along the west coast a must and the route around Mull Head in the east.

Islands like Stronsay and Sanday offer peaceful scenery, whereas places like Hoy and Rousay are perfect for the more adventurous, with steep climbs, moorland and craggy cliffs on the agenda.

We incorporate exciting walks, history and culture, and offer an inspiring insight into the local industry and the island people.
