WHAT IS OUR GREEN VISITOR CHARTER?
We're doing all we can to operate a green business, and we'd like your help! Here's some ways you can enjoy all that Orkney has to offer during your stay, and help the environment so future generations can enjoy it too.
Reuse and recycle
Try to avoid purchasing goods which are overly packaged and if possible carry a reusable bag to avoid collecting plastic bags. We provide a list of all the recycling centres available in Orkney.
Use our bottled water
There's no need to buy plastic bottles of water. Our tours give free refreshments in reusable environmentally friendly bottles.
Support local businesses
Across Orkney there are many independent businesses which would welcome your support, from cafes and distilleries to craft shops and activity centres. We can help you plan a day out with minimum travel and maximum enjoyment, while investing in the local economy. We always recommend suppliers that have a green policy in place, or that work primarily with local produce.
Respect nature
We are fortunate to live in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Please don't drop litter, please respect the right to roam and encourage others to keep their dogs under control, especially during lambing season.
