Planning a trip to the Orkney Islands Workshop
Join Yvette from Wayfaring Kiwi and plan your perfect trip to the Orkney islands!
Are you planning a trip to Orkney, or have these islands always been on your bucket list?
The awe-inspiring Orkney Islands are unlike any other place in Scotland; with their fascinating Viking and Scots heritage, striking landscapes, scrumptious food and drink, and prehistoric sites- there is just so much to see, taste and experience!
Join me, Yvette aka Wayfaring Kiwi, Scottish island lover and travel expert, for a workshop where I will help you to plan the perfect adventure to the Orkney Islands.
With such a vast history and too many things to see and do, planning a trip to these islands can be overwhelming. Let's make it fun!
Did you know: researchers discovered in 2010 that
planning a trip makes you happier than actually taking it!
About me
Hello, I'm Yvette! I'm a full-time travel blogger and I live in Scotland. My job is to travel around Scotland (usually with my husband and son in tow) writing travel guides which help people plan their adventures around Scotland.
I've explored the width and breadth of Scotland- in fact, I was the first solo female to walk the Scottish National Trail, a hike that zig-zags the length of the country.
I've created the Planning a Trip To Orkney as the perfect introduction to help you get started with researching and booking your trip.
In this workshop I share all my tips for visiting this archipelago- whether you live in the UK or are travelling from overseas!
Did you know...
Orkney was once a power centre in Europe, and was ruled by Vikings. It became a part of Scotland in the 15th century, so the islands have a distinct culture that is different to anywhere in Scotland!
What does the workshop cover?
• Orkney's enthralling history- and some folklore!
• How to get to the Orkney islands and travelling between the islands
• The top 5 islands to visit
• The best things to do in Orkney- the must-see locations and my favourite hidden gems
• Where and how to book accommodation, tours, and activities
• The best places to eat and drink (and best Orkney produce to try!)

• And much more!

PARAGRAPHted. This workshop is also open to people who may not be planning a visit, but have an interest in Orkney.
Will this workshop save me money when booking a trip to Orkney?
While I cannot guarantee you'll save X amount of dollars/pounds/euros- I will be sharing my tips and techniques for how I book my trips around Scotland, and where to book to get the best possible prices for accommodation, flights, ferries, and tours and activities.
Does this workshop cover all of the Orkney islands?
It would be impossible to cover all 70 Orkney islands, so we will be focusing on the largest and most popular island (Mainland) and a few island you can easily do as a day trip from this island. These are the islands the majority of people visit first when they go to Orkney.
