Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and...

- PMPatricia· October 3rd, 20240verrall, the itinerary was excellent, providing loads of history. It would have been a great addition to include some folk or Gaelic music...a pub experience. One four star restaurant would be sufficient. The accomodation was comfortable with a staff ready to meet traveller's needs.Show more

Show moreTrip date: September 2024 - CRClaudia· October 2nd, 2024I would have liked to see more of the main n island plus some other islands. I free afternoon is enough. Also I would have liked that the big cairn be included.Trip date: September 2024
Howard· May 21st, 2024I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the Orkney Islands. Our guide, Rhys, was great company, knowledgeable and proactive, and the pace and itinerary suited us very well. Lots to do and see and it was good to have some free time also. 5/5 for Rhys and the tour experience in the Orkneys. One quibble (unrelated to Rhys or the time spent in the Orkneys) is that communication with Intrepid is not easy. I’m the build up we had a few questions, and getting answers was a little slow and a bit of an effort. Intrepid or Tour Radar should have human beings readily available to answer questions promptly, instead of relying primarily on bots and FAQs.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThank you so much for taking the time to post a review about your trip to the Orkney Islands! We are so glad to hear that you had a great time on the trip and that you had a great leader like Rhys. They are the secret to making a good trip into a great... Show moreTrip date: May 2024- KTKim· September 29th, 2023Intrepid needs to tighten up this tour. Two free afternoons is too much when one has only three days on the island. Either make the tour two full days or two full days with one full day free to make plans to go to Hoy or Rousay. Give people guidance on what to do on the free day.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your experience Kim.
