Orkney Trike Tours: Coastal Panorama Ride Across Mainland Orkney

Cruise Orkney's wild Atlantic coastline in an open-top trike with a local guide at the helm — an utterly exhilarating way to take in sea stacks, standing stones, and sweeping skies that define these archipelago islands.

What to expect

You ride pillion on a custom-built reverse trike with your guide piloting, helmets and weather gear provided. The coastal routes sweep past the Churchill Barriers, Italian Chapel, and vertiginous sea cliffs at a pace that lets you genuinely absorb the scale of this landscape. Your guide peppers the ride with Orkney lore — wartime history, Viking sagas, local folklore — making every mile feel alive with story. The sensation of open-air travel across such raw, dramatic scenery is genuinely unlike anything else available in the British Isles.
