Overview

Join us for a fascinating exploration of Britain's most northerly islands- Yell & Unst.

Far closer to Oslo than London, the islands' strong ties with Norway are immediately visible through centuries of Viking history.

You'll see beautiful beaches, unspoilt scenery where sheep outnumber people 10 to 1, dramatic castles and experience intriguing Viking heritage whilst hearing tales from your knowledgeable local guide.

Please note- tour duration is subject to change in the event of disruption to inter-island ferries. For this reason, we do not recommend this tour as a shore excursion for cruise ship passengers and are unable to guarantee an on time return.
