    [description] => 

In mid to late June, the beautiful Shetland Islands are blessed with nearly 19-hours of daylight, add to this the stunning landscapes and an incredible abundance of birds, mammals and rare plants. Its sheer remoteness, hillsides cloaked in heather, and the air penetrated by the calls of myriad waders which breed here, only adds to its attraction. Throughout this gentle-paced, 9-day holiday, we will be based solely at the wonderfully located Busta House Hotel (or Burrastow House) in West Mainland, renowned for its stunning views. We will also be after the archipelago's best wildlife, ranging from the diminutive European Storm Petrel on the uninhabited island of Mousa, breeding Puffins, passing cetaceans, Otters, and rare flora, including Edmonston's Chickweed, Moonwort and Lesser Twayblade. Our time will also be spent enjoying the many historic sites which are littered throughout, as we cover Mainland, Unst and Fetlar, on this wonderful holiday to the UK's most northerly archipelago. 

  • Stay at Busta House Hotel in remote West Mainland
  • Thriving seabird colonies on Mainland
  • Rare and endemic flora
  • Visit Mousa and its broch for the European Storm Petrel
  • Otters & cetaceans
  • Spectacular landscapes
[introduction] => A 9-day single-centred holiday based at the wonderfully located Busta House Hotel (or Burrsatow House for 2027), where we'll search for the archipelago's famed wildlife, whilst enjoying the islands' spectacular landscapes.

Highlights

  • Stay at Busta House Hotel in remote West Mainland

  • Visit Mousa and its broch for the European Storm Petrel
  • Otters & cetaceans
  • Spectacular landscapes

Summary

In mid to late June, the beautiful Shetland Islands are blessed with nearly 19-hours of daylight, add to this the stunning landscapes and an incredible abundance of birds, mammals and rare plants. Its sheer remoteness, hillsides cloaked in heather, and the air penetrated by the calls of myriad waders which breed here, only adds to its attraction. Throughout this gentle-paced, 9-day holiday, we will be based solely at the wonderfully located Busta House Hotel (or Burrastow House) in West Mainland, renowned for its stunning views. We will also be after the archipelago's best wildlife, ranging from the diminutive European Storm Petrel on the uninhabited island of Mousa, breeding Puffins, passing cetaceans, Otters, and rare flora, including Edmonston's Chickweed, Moonwort and Lesser Twayblade. Our time will also be spent enjoying the many historic sites which are littered throughout, as we cover Mainland, Unst and Fetlar, on this wonderful holiday to the UK's most northerly archipelago.

Reviews

C.B, Hampshire, Jun25, Jul 2025

Chris Griffin and Mark Wood were exceptional tour leaders. Their knowledge encyclopaedic but just as important were their social skills with people within and outside the group and organising the tour. Although different, their personalities were ideally suited to the role. Nothing was too much trouble They worked so hard arranging the itinerary to fit in with the weather and ferry schedules. Lovely comfortable hotel in beautiful location. The food, drink and especially the service were outstanding.
