Leading adventure tour operator Explore has added an additional departure for its bestselling Walking Scotland’s Orkney Islands in response to the huge demand for UK trips. Having launched back in the spring, the company’s new Orkney Islands trip has quickly sold out its 2021 dates, so the new departure on 20 September 2021 is expected to sell out quickly, but there are also
a number of departures scheduled for 2022.

Last month, Explore announced a new three-centre walking holiday in Scotland’s North West Highlands and Skye, showcasing this area’s stunning natural beauty and wild nature. With Skye a bucket-list destination for many, 2021 could be the perfect time to explore the unique island. The week-long, moderate-graded walking holiday includes walks on glacier-carved mountains, through spectacular coastal scenery and across the rugged interior and iconic landscapes of Skye.

The two new Scottish trips are the company’s latest additions to its growing UK programme, which includes walking, cultural and cycling holidays right across the country, from the South Downs to Hadrian’s Wall.

Ben Ittensohn, Head of Global Sales says: “We’re really proud of the UK programme we’ve developed over the last year. We’ve been able to create the same Explore recipe of small-group adventure with fantastic tour leaders and we have a really stunning range o f trips – from the coast and mountains of Wales and Hadrian’s Wall to the South Downs, and now Skye and the Orkney Islands. ’
