Dolphins

Orkney’s rugged coastline and pristine waters are home to some of the most breath-taking marine life, including pods of playful and intelligent dolphins. These graceful creatures thrive in Orkney’s nutrient-rich waters, where they weave through sea cliffs, skerries, and open ocean, a testament to the region’s thriving marine ecosystem. Whether seen from a windswept shore or alongside a ferry, dolphins in Orkney embody the wild, untamed beauty of the North Atlantic—reminding us of the deep connection between land, sea, and life beyond the waves.
