Skara Brae, Orkney
Discover Orkney by Private Van
Orkney Tours from Glasgow and Edinburgh. Explore the Orkney archipelago on a private minivan tour, at your own pace, with an experienced driver-guide.
Step aboard your private van and let Orkney reveal itself at your pace. With every turn of the road, the islands unfold in layers of history, from Neolithic monuments which litter the land to WW2 relics, and breathtaking scenery. This isn’t a hurried excursion—it’s a journey designed around you, whether you’re a couple seeking romance or a small group chasing adventure together.
The landscapes of Orkney are unlike anywhere else. Rolling green pastures meet rugged cliffs where seabirds wheel above the waves. Ancient standing stones rise from the earth, silent witnesses to millennia of human stories. At Skara Brae, you walk through a Neolithic village older than the pyramids, while the Ring of Brodgar encircles you with mystery and timeless grandeur. Along the coast, white‑sand bays glisten under northern light, and seals lounge on rocky shores as if posing just for you.
For couples, Orkney becomes a place of quiet wonder. Imagine strolling hand in hand through windswept meadows, pausing at a cliff edge to watch the sun sink into the Atlantic. Later, a local restaurant welcomes you with local seafood and a dram of whisky, the perfect end to a day of shared discovery.
For small groups, the van is a space for laughter and shared experiences. Together you explore fishing villages where colourful boats bob in the harbour, wander through a medieval Viking cathedral, and marvel at the artistry of local crafts. Every stop is chosen to balance iconic highlights with hidden corners that make the islands feel like your own secret.
The true benefit of a private van tour lies in its freedom. You decide when to linger, when to explore, and when to simply sit back and watch the scenery roll by. With a knowledgeable guide at the wheel, the stories of Orkney come alive, weaving history, culture, and nature into a journey that feels both personal and unforgettable.
Your Orkney adventure begins here—where summer light and timeless history shine together.
