The Olsen Way Highlights

We have designed this itinerary to take you on a discovery of some of the most hard-to-reach areas of Scotland to encounter remarkable wildlife and dramatic landforms. Many scenic cruising highlights await, including the basalt columns of Fingal’s Cave, the bonnet-shaped Bac Mòr, the remote archipelago of the Small Isles, and centuries-old sea stacks. Elsewhere, sailing the likes of Pentland Firth and by Sumburgh Head gives you the chance to spot bird and marine life from the comfort of Balmoral. Kirkwall is your gateway to the nature reserve of Marwick Head, while the Isle of Skye boasts dramatic landscapes such as the iconic Old Man of Storr rock formation.
