Top-Rated Lerwick Shore Excursions

Lerwick is Shetland’s harbor town, and ships either berth or tender into the waterfront beside the old stone lanes. Island tours head south to the layered settlement at Jarlshof, the seabird cliffs at Sumburgh Head and the sand causeway to St Ninian’s Isle, with Shetland ponies along the way.
