Best Time to Visit

Peak Season

May to September

This is the best time to visit the Shetland Islands, with the warmest weather, longest daylight hours, and the most wildlife activity. The Up Helly Aa festival in January is also a highlight, but the weather is colder.

Shoulder Season

April to May, September to October

Shoulder seasons offer fewer tourists and lower prices, with still pleasant weather. Wildlife is still active, and the landscapes are lush.
