Informative and enjoyable Really enjoyed our walk! Our guide was very informative and was great with our 1 year old. Despite the rain, we loved every minute of it.

Marwick Head Walk Megan guided us along Marwick Head and shared fascinating insights about the seabirds as well as the local plant life. The three-hour walk flew by and was both enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend Orkney Walks to anyone visiting the Orkney Islands.

Puffins Megan's 1 day Puffin Experience on Westray was great. We saw Puffins up close, and learned about Puffins and the other seabirds in the area and while on the ferry. Megan had spare binoculars for us. We also learned about the wild flowers while walking to the cliffs. We also visited a beautiful sandy beach. We learned how precious and fragile the existence of seabirds is. Megan is passionate about the environment.

Fantastic access to hundreds of puffins Our trip to Westray to see puffins amongst many other species of birds was really successful. The natural feature of the Castle of Burrian provides a great nesting spot for hundreds of puffins and we saw so many of them extremely close up. Our guide Megan was impressively knowledgeable of all the flora and fauna we saw and shared this in a friendly and humourous way. It was a great chance to slow down and really absorb the detail of the stunning surroundings of the island of Westray. Megan is completely in tune with her natural environment and offers you a chance to get onto this wavelength too. Would recommend.

Amazing birdwatching in the Orkney sunshine We had a wonderful day spent with Megan on Westray at two very different seabird colonies, watching the kittiwakes, guillemots, fulmars and gannets at one place then over to a large puffin colony for the second. Megan was very knowledgeable and really knew not just where to find the birds but when and how to avoid the larger groups around in July. She had prepared a detailed itinerary and personalised folder for us, booked the ferries and sorted out all the other admin ahead, so all we had to do we meet her and enjoy the birds. We even managed to do this a a few hours of precious sunshine. Amazing!!

Guided walk on Graemsay: birds, plants, insects and more Megan guided us around Graemsay and showed us wildlife of all sorts. The skylarks were numerous and stunning. In a disused quarry we saw damselflies. Megan explained everything from microhabitats of butterflies to big context like the impact of cruise ships or salmon farming. We would join one of her tours again and can really recommend her.

Memorable Day in Orkney I went on the Shapinsay and ultimate Puffin tour with Megan. She is very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable as a beginner with the birds. It’s obvious that she loves what she does and takes extreme pride in organizing the tours. This was definitely a highlight of my time in Orkney. Ray

Must do! Fantastic experience A fantastic experience with Megan. We did the evening walk and saw so many birds including puffins. Megan is so passionate about wildlife, she was a joy to spend time with. We learned so much about birds, flowers, wildlife and also Orkney. It was fun, relaxed and informative. Our 17yo son was in his element getting so many great photo opportunities. Thank you Megan! Highly recommend.

The most wonderful experience

Evening Wildlife Walk

We had the most wonderful experience on our evening seabird walk. Megan was so generous with her time, incredibly knowledgeable & clearly extremely passionate about her native wildlife, it shone through. I thoroughly recommend to anyone, however much birding experience you have. Orkney is a magical place & exploring it with someone who knows & loves it so well was a wonderful experience.

A highlight of my trip to Scotland

NEW – Seabird City Experience

I took the Seabird City walk with Megan today and it was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and happy to share what she knows. I gained a great appreciation for Orkney and all its flora & fauna (especially its birds). The day was a highlight of my trip to Scotland.

A fantastic time

NEW – Seabird City Experience

We did the Seabird city experience! We had a fantastic time on this walk! Megan is incredibly knowledgeable and so open — she’ll happily answer all your questions and really makes you feel at ease. She also pointed out comestible plants, insects and wild flowers along the way which was a lovely surprise.
The wildlife was just amazing — razorbills, guillemots, puffins, gannets, a bonxie, ducklings, eider and shelduck. What a list!
Megan is so kind and engaged, she really made the experience special. Honestly, can’t recommend her enough — just go! 🐦

Highly Recommend

NEW – The Ultimate Puffin Experience

As I only discovered this walking group around 3 weeks before I went to Orkney, I was well pleased to get on the first ever Puffin Experience to Westray. Our host was great, we got soaked, and most of all, I got to photograph Puffins. Anyone who likes to be outdoors, I highly recommend Wild Orkney Walks!

A grand highlight of the trip!

Seal Pup Walk

Megan made our seal pup hike a grand highlight of the trip! I was consistently impressed with her vast knowledge and she’s a very caring individual as well. I feel I got to experience the best Orkney has to offer and highly recommend Wild Orkney Walks to anyone traveling to the islands.

Wish I could give Megan more than 5 stars!

Mull Head Wildlife Walk

I wish I could give Megan more than 5 stars! We had a gorgeous hike and I learned a lot about local wildflowers and birds. We even found a vole den – hopefully the stoats stay away from it! My husband and I really appreciated the care she took choosing our path for the day and very much enjoyed her company. When you’re passionate about the natural world and protecting it, it’s just always such a nice feeling to come across others around the world who share that love and that mentality of showing the planet kindness. Nature lovers – go meet this fellow member of our tribe if you’re in Orkney.
