Free Alert Service

The Northern Lights are unpredictable, occurring usually in the mid-winter months and more often than not late evening or after midnight. When the show is on, it is a spectacular sight. Explore Orkney offer their holiday customers a free Aurora Borealis Alert Service by text message. It is worth getting up for.
