Private half-day Shetland tour from Lerwick for puffins at Sumburgh Head, Shetland ponies at Carol’s farm, and Jarlshof ruins.
“Our family of 6 (2 Seniors, 3 50somethings and a 26YO) thoroughly enjoyed our time in Shetland with our guide Neville and driver Eden. Visiting Carol’s Ponies was fantastic! These “tiny” animals were absolutely adorable! We loved petting them and learning about their history. Neville’s knowledge of Jarlshof (pre-historic and Norse settlement) was wonderful and very enlightening. We had a memorable day visiting the Shetland Isle and would definitely recommend the tour.”

“Maureen was wonderful. She was on time and full of knowledge. We had a wonderful full day We enjoyed some bonus stops and experiences”
Private 5-hour south Shetland tour from Lerwick to St Ninian’s Isle, Jarlshof, Sumburgh Head and Hoswick with pickup and expert guide.
“Guide Mandy certainly knows Shetland extremely well. Went to great lengths to show us everything and provide all information and history. We loved that the islands were Norse but became Scotland as part of a royal dowry, with Shetland thrown in as added extra because Orkney wasn't quite worth enough. Mandy has the answer for every question. Our little stop with Carol at Shetland pony farm was also great, they're little cuties and Carol knows all about them too.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
