Wildlife: The Shetland Isles Traveller Reviews

fantastic wildlife, scenery and guide.

very well organised

I spent a week walking in Shetland appreciating the scenery, wildlife and history of the islands, accompanied by an excellent guide.

This is the second holiday I have had with Wilderness Scotland. Both have been very enjoyable experiences. They have well planned walking holidays graded so that it is easy to choose one to suit your ability level.

Guided holiday in Shetland with walking every day, returning to an hotel where we stayed for the whole trip. The guide knew his stuff and answered all our questions about wildlife, history, archaeology etc. He tailored the walks to suit the abilities of the group members. The accommodation was a very old hotel providing first class rooms and the all important meals.

Wilderness Scotland. Their website is simple to use and they are are easy to get in touch with by phone to answer any queries. All in all a very helpful team.

All superlatives about my trip to the Shetland Islands

Personable and very knowledgeable about history, flora, fauna and birds. Great fun to be with.

7 days of well-organized hiking across a variety of landscapes with many opportunities for wildlife watching and photography.

Extremely knowledge and enthusiastic.

Totally relaxing walking holiday, with a small, friendly group - never more than 8. The guide was (as always) very well-informed and highly qualified, and clearly loved the wildlife and landscapes she was showing us. The days involved a variety of trips, and each day a walk of 5-6 miles or so. The group ate together each evening at a variety of restaurants.

I've now been on numerous Wilderness Scotland holidays. The trips are well planned and researched, with great attention to detail. All the guides are highly qualified professionals with a genuine love for and commitment to the areas they are showing us. The company seems keen to look after the staff and to provide job satisfaction, which is in turn reflected in their attitude to the work they carry out. There is also a genuine concern about the environment and sustainability.

A week of walking and wildlife viewing in beautiful Shetland. Based out of Busta House, each day was a great mix of eye-popping land- and seascapes, fascinating history, puffins and gannets and guillemots and seals and porpoises, and always a delicious dinner and warming drinks and sometimes live music to top it all off.

Wilderness Scotland trips are excellent value. Local company, expert guides, range of trip types to suit interest and fitness level, committed to "leave no trace."
