Travel with Lesley Whyte & Robertsons Bespoke Tours

Travel With Lesley Whyte and R Robertson & Son collaborate to deliver a collection of authentic, immersive and fully escorted annual journeys to the far north of the British Isles — the Shetland Islands.

Travel With Lesley Whyte curates distinctive, fully escorted journeys for travellers who value depth, connection, and thoughtful exploration. Recognised across Australasia as a leading boutique tour organisation, the company designs immersive travel experiences that span the globe — from remote island communities to the world’s most extraordinary natural frontiers.

Specialising in meaningful, small-group journeys, Travel With Lesley Whyte offers access to some of the world’s most remarkable destinations — from the wild, windswept beauty of the Shetland Islands and the remote Chatham Islands to the dramatic landscapes of the polar regions. Each itinerary is carefully crafted to celebrate local culture, history, art, and nature, creating experiences that are both enriching and deeply personal.

Each tour is carefully designed alongside a passionate network of Shetland residents, producers, guides, and hosts, ensuring experiences that go well beyond surface-level sightseeing. Whether through guided island walks, cultural encounters, wildlife exploration, or hands-on food and craft activities, you’ll discover Shetland in a way that is personal, enriching, and truly memorable — with many elements exclusive to these journeys.

From rugged coastal landscapes to deeply rooted cultural experiences, every journey reflects the distinctive character, resilience, and raw beauty of the Shetland Islands.

As with all Travel With Lesley Whyte journeys, solo travellers are warmly welcomed, with your own room included at no additional charge on most tours. Every detail is thoughtfully curated — from transport and accommodation to dining and daily experiences — allowing you to relax completely and immerse yourself in an experience that simply cannot be replicated elsewhere
