Reisen ins Glück creates carefully designed Orkney walking holidays for travellers seeking depth, space and genuine connection. As Scotland travel specialists with long-term roots in Scotland, we focus on small-scale journeys that move beyond sightseeing and into lived experience.

Our small group tour Nordmeer-Saga – an Orkney and Shetland tour explores the northern isles through coastal walks, archaeological landscapes and meaningful local encounters. These small group tours are paced to allow time for light, weather and conversation to shape the days. Walking is not treated as a challenge, but as a way to experience the islands — their history, their communities and their relationship to sea and sky.

Alongside our scheduled departures, we offer bespoke Orkney itineraries and tailor-made journeys for individuals and private groups. These can include guided walks, cultural visits, island-hopping experiences and carefully selected local accommodation, always developed in close dialogue with our guests.

All our guided tours of Orkney are led by German-speaking guides deeply rooted in Scotland, creating a bridge between cultures while working closely with locally run accommodation providers and independent island businesses wherever possible.

Reisen ins Glück invites travellers to experience Orkney not as a checklist of sights, but as a landscape to move through with presence — shaped by sea, stone and story.
