Eday Coastline
Excellent views of the neighboring island of Eday, known for its rugged cliffs and heather-covered hills.
Calf of Eday
A small, uninhabited island known as a significant breeding ground for diverse seabird species.
Spurness Peninsula
The southern tip of Sanday, featuring interesting tidal flows and coastal erosion patterns visible from low altitude.
Linga Holm
An islet located between Eday and Stronsay, often populated by large colonies of Atlantic grey seals.
The right side is superior for sunset flights and offers a more varied landscape of neighboring islands. Because the Britten-Norman Islander aircraft flies at very low altitudes, keep your eyes peeled for seals on the skerries and whales in the sound.
