Eynhallow Trip
Posted on 06 July 2010

This year's Eynhallow trip will take place on Tuesday the 20th of July. Tickets are on sale from VisitOrkney's Kirkwall office priced £20 (£10 for under 12's).

This is the only public access to the island, giving a chance to experience a unique natural environment, visit the ruined church and learn about the archaeology of the island. We will be accompanied by expert guides from RSPB, Historic Scotland and Orkney College.  

Under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult. To prevent disturbance to nesting birds, dogs are not permitted on the island. Walking is over rough ground, please wear stout shoes, and bring warm and waterproof clothing.

Cancellation will only occur in the event of severe weather preventing landing. If in doubt check this website after 11am on the day to confirm sailing.

Sunsets cannot be guaranteed.
