- MMMargery· July 28th, 2024Your trip to Shetland was as you had described that it would be. I loved the experience, the sites and most of those on the tour. It was a lot more hiking than I had planned for doing for my legs. Our guide Tony was very helpful to me and others. We enjoyed him very much. I would have liked more interaction with locals and learning how they make their living in Shetland.Show more

ROSANNA· September 17th, 2023The tour was rated a 2. It should have been a 4. It was poorly laid out-a 12hr overnight ferry crossing with no sleep then av brisk 4 hr hike after arrival. It was downhill after that. I have travelled with intrepid 2 other times -i should have known better. This is it.

Asked on March 13th, 2025How do we get to and from Lerwick from Aberdeen?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written March 2025
The best and fastest way to get from Aberdeen to Lerwick is to fly. You would fly out of the Aberdeen airport (ABZ) and into the Lerwick airport (LSI). For a more budget friendly option you can take a 14 and a half hour ferry over to the island. The company is NorthLink Ferries and they run twice daily.
