The Island of Hoy Private Tour

Hoy has everything you could imagine there to be, so choose your preferences and we’ll take you there.  There’s plenty to see from unspoiled nature, scenery, wilderness, history, coastal walks, wildlife, military history, child focused tours, challenging hill walks or as most of our guests opt for, a little bit of everything.   We will provide an itinerary for your prior approval so that we can meet your needs and no doubt exceed expectations.

All our guides live on the island so you will so you will get a real feel for what it’s like to live in this remote and beautiful location, and we’ll take you to places that only an islander can know about.  We do like to engage with you beforehand, so we can get a feel of what your expectations are so that we can provide an amazing and memorable experience.

• A walk to the Old Man of Hoy (3 hours return trip)
