Papa Sound
The shallow, crystal-clear water crossing between the two islands.
Calf of Eday
A striking uninhabited island to the southeast known for its dramatic cliffs.
Westray Farmland
The patchwork of vibrant green fields and coastal farms of the Westray interior.
Papa Westray Pier
The island's main transport hub visible during the low-altitude final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct northern sun glare. This side provides the best sense of place within the Orkney island chain. Because the Britten-Norman Islander is a high-wing aircraft, your view of the islands and the 'world's shortest flight' path is completely unobstructed.

North Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast ocean where the Atlantic meets the North Sea.
Knap of Howar
The oldest preserved stone houses in Northern Europe, visible on the Papa Westray coastline.
North Hill Nature Reserve
A protected maritime heathland teeming with Arctic Terns and Great Skuas.
Prepare your camera before the engines even start, as the flight lasts roughly 90 seconds. Focus on the Papa Westray shoreline immediately after crossing the water to catch the Neolithic farmstead at Knap of Howar. Polarized lenses help reduce the glare from the sea during the bright summer months.
