A truly wonderful day trip, we were lucky with the weather which helped a lot. Breathtaking scenery all the way round from Lyness up to Rackwick Bay. Very useful information boards all the way round.

We came on the noon boat from Kirkwall to have a short visit and we wish we came for a few days or at least with the early morning boat so we could spend some more time about the isle. Quite a few gems to see, the Castle, Noup head Light house,the peedie airport that has the shortest flight in the world to Papa westray,the beaches with the seals,and the cliffs with puffins,the lovely local heritage center is a must as well,its a marvelous place!

All about timing, getting too the brough, cross the causeway and go before you see the lighthouse and puffins. Fantastic and well worth it

Superb place for a visit. What views! Take your time and explore all the nooks and crannies. A cracking Sandstone landscape often made inaccessible by the tide, its home to lots of Birdlife and some fascinating Viking settlement remains. Great for exploring, particularly at low tide, where's it's a rock-poolers fantasy land. Oh and Puffins of course..
