Absolutely loved our trip with Shetland Nature, we saw seals, puffins, ponies and other - not to mention the wonderful scenery around the Islands. Our guide, James, was knowledgeable and we had plenty of laughs along the way! 10/10

On a day that had some challenging weather we had an exceptional experience. Dave Cooper, our guide, is a very accomplished ornithologist and was able to spot many birds for us. He was also knowledgable about the history of the island and its peoples. We visited several antiquities and learned about how people lived on Unst. The day was capped by a walk to the cliffs on the north part of Hermaness with beautiful view of the lighthouse and gannetry. Dave is an outstanding guide who tailored the day to our wishes. An absolutely fantastic experience!!…

I had so much fun it became an article in The Daily Telegraph.…

He showed me how to read the ground for signs of feeding, spraint and dens, so I quickly learnt a lot about how otters move through their habitat. Even in quieter moments Brydon is cracking company, and I really appreciated the hot tea on our chilly walk around the stunning lochs and coastline of lower Unst.…
