  • Visit Britain’s highest sea cliffs at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed St Kilda.
  • Discover some of Scotland’s remote and rugged islands, visited by few adventurous souls.
  • Take a Zodiac cruise to Staffa’s world-famous Fingal’s Cave.

Embark on a journey through Scotland’s wild isles, from the windswept Hebrides—inhabited for over 8,000 years—to the lush Orkney Islands, where Neolithic ruins and Viking relics whisper tales of ancient civilisations. Glide along sea-carved coastlines by Zodiac, keeping watch for playful dolphins, curious seals, and the soaring seabirds of one of Europe’s largest colonies. Explore quaint villages, connect with warm-hearted locals, and perhaps savour a wee dram of Scotland’s finest whisky along the way.

Aurora Expeditions operates in remote and challenging environments, and in the spirit of expedition travel, we encourage you to adopt a flexible and adventurous attitude when joining our voyages. This itinerary is a guide only and is subject to change due to weather, sea state and other conditions beyond our control.
