Make the most of your day in the beautiful Shetland Islands without breaking the bank! Hop aboard our Ponies Express and enjoy the views as we take you on a circular journey around Shetland's Central Mainland.

Admire the views as we travel to Scalloway, the former capital of Shetland where you can visit the castle, museum or just stroll amongst the colourful houses. There are some fantastic shops and restaurants to visit here too!

Next up, we pay a visit to some of the islands' most famous residents. Shetland Ponies originated right here in Shetland, but thanks to their huge appeal can now be found all over the world, being especially popular as riding ponies for children and a companion to horses. Carol, the stud owner, will explain in detail about these beautiful animals. Please remember that they have strong teeth and can nip so please do not feed the ponies!

After a scenic drive through the Tingwall Valley we return to Lerwick.

    We picked this excursion over the cruise excursion because it was less expensive and because it allowed you to get off in a little town (Scalloway) for an hour. Well, there was really no great reason for the stop and we waited an additional 25 minutes for the bus. Even so, I would still recommend.
