A Stroll Around Shapinsay is a lovely day trip to an island which we can visit all year round as the wildlife changes with the seasons. Shapinsay is only a short ferry crossing from Kirkwall, making it easily accessible especially for those using public transport.

Winter - Between November and March we will follow a route which includes Vasa Loch where we can see winter visitors such as Whooper swans, Long-tailed ducks, Goldeneyes and Turnstones. We will include a visit to the RSPB Mill Dam reserve where we can sit in the comfort of a hide and watch the ducks, geese and swans. Length approx. 5 miles

Summer – Between April and October our route takes us along quiet farm tracks with colourful verges to a secluded beach where we can enjoy our picnic lunch listening to the waves lapping, and the sounds of nature. Our return route takes us off-piste through wildflower meadows, and we will visit the RSPB Mill Dam reserve on our way back to the ferry. Length approx. 6 miles

“Fascinating trip with Megan to Shapinsay”

“Great day in Shapinsay. A peaceful and gentle excursion”

Whatever the season, or weather, there is always something interesting to see on the island of Shapinsay, including the Harbour seals around the village.

Informationen zum Anbieter

Wild Orkney Walks

Wild Orkney Walks operates all year round, offering guided walks for small groups from 1 person up to a maximum of 6 people. We can take you by foot to beautiful locations, allowing you to escape the crowds and get off the beaten track. From busy seabird cliffs to colourful wildflower meadows, our walks cover it all. In addition we also offer Bespoke walks, Island trips and a Wildlife Guiding Service. One of the many things we love about walking in Orkney is the surprise of the unknown, you just never know what you might see which adds to the enjoyment of being outdoors.
