Shetland Pony Express

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.

If you wish, you can alight in Scalloway, Shetland's ancient capital. Visit Scalloway Museum, the Shetland Bus Memorial and see Scalloway Castle (exterior only, visitors cannot go inside) or purchase lunch from one of the local restaurants.

We make a stop at Carol's Ponies where you can meet our most famous resident, the Shetland Pony whilst learning a little about their history.

Travel through the Tingwall Valley, passing Law Ting Holm which served as the seat of Norse parliament during the Viking era.
