Jolene Garriock
Jolene is the sole owner of Island Vista, since 2024. She is originally from the west side of Shetland and now lives in the Tingwall valley with her partner and young son. She did a degree in International Management in Edinburgh and Sweden. She loves to travel and has spent a lot of time in other countries. It was during her travels that she truly came to appreciate all the wonderful aspects of Shetland life.
Our Guides
At the moment, our team consists of 45 local, friendly Tourist Guides. All are very experienced and hold the Scottish Tourist Guides Association Green Badge for Shetland accreditation. All our guides have a variety of different interests so we will select a guide that best matches the requirements of your group.
Our guides combine an in-depth local knowledge with positive and professional attributes and a deep passion for Shetland.
Our guides are encouraged to attend the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme offered during the winter months, to update knowledge and improve standards.
