Southern Shetland @ Ease

by coach & on foot

This experience is ideally suited to those wishing to see some areas of Shetland from the comfort of a coach.

Your journey begins with a beautiful coastal drive south toward St. Ninian’s Isle, taking in open seascapes, rolling hills, and the rugged landscapes that define Shetland’s southern mainland.

Arriving at St. Ninian’s, enjoy a photo stop at one of Shetland’s most iconic natural wonders: the largest active tombolo in the UK. This striking ribbon of sand links the mainland to St. Ninian’s Isle, surrounded by turquoise shallows and dramatic coastline.

Leaving St. Ninian’s, your experience continues through Dunrossness, an area rich with wildlife, sweeping moorland, and expansive sea views. This scenic stretch offers a real sense of Shetland’s wide, open landscapes.

Your next stop is the Mousa Viewpoint, offering an impressive vantage point across the water to the island of Mousa—home to the world‑famous Mousa Broch, the best‑preserved Iron Age broch in existence. Soak up the scenic views and capture photos of the island and its rugged surroundings.

Your experience concludes with a scenic return drive to Lerwick, approaching the town via Hillhead, one of its historic routes. As you arrive back in the capital, you’ll see traditional stone buildings, harbour life, and the colourful rooftops that characterise Shetland’s main town.
