Puffins and Ponies! A Great Day!

We had a wonderful day touring the island of Shetland with Neville. He was a wealth of knowledge about the island and had photos and maps and other information to show us along the way. We started the day with the ponies. Carol at Carol’s Ponies was the sweetest woman. She spent time talking to us about the ponies, their names, sizes, ages, etc. She was willing to answer any questions that we had. Along the way to the lighthouse to see the puffins, Neville took us to Jarlahof to see the prehistoric and Norse settlement. This was extremely interesting and was so beautiful. The puffins at the lighthouse were so awesome. My 19 year old son has always wanted to see puffins in the wild, and this day definitely did not disappoint. We were able to watch them up close (without disturbing them) and got amazing photos. They are truly the most adorable things. I would definitely recommend this tour for someone looking to get a tour of the island in a day and for anyone who loves puffins and ponies!
Beautiful island tour

Danny was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the island. We were a group of 6 in a private tour of the island. We saw the Shetland ponies, the puffins nesting among the hillside at the lighthouse and foghorn station. And took a tour of ancient Viking village ruins. Dress warmly as the island is very windy chilly even with the sunny skies. Danny also directed us to the local cafe/restaurants for some delicious fish n chips. Would highly recommend doing the private tour.

Our cruise was delayed reaching port due to weather and our guide and driver were able to still give us a great tour avoiding the larger groups from the ship. She also was very knowledgeable and sincere in teaching us about Shetland. Best tour I’ve had so far.
Must do!!!

Shirley was a great guide. We saw a bit of Lewrick as we drove out of town. We stopped to see Shetland ponies and learned interesting facts about them. It was raining but we still got a tour of Jarlshof prehistoric site. At the lighthouse we saw lots of puffins and lots of other birds. It was nice to get a hot drink there as well. We got a special musical treat on the way back to our ship, but I’ll let it be a surprise for you.
