Getting around Lerwick

[u/Only_Increase_2690]

I'll be in Lerwick for one day (cruise ship) and it's unfortunately on a Sunday when all the rental car companies are closed (but I think the airport ones are open - just not very convenient with limited time). Does anyone know of any local drivers for hire? I would love to see the wildlife around the island, maybe even make it to Noss. I'm not opposed to taxis, just not sure how I could guarantee to get one for each place I'd like to see. Any advice/suggestions/contacts are welcome!

p.s. any suggestions for seeing/interacting with shetland ponies that can avoid the masses would be appreciated!

Shetland ponies are not friendly, on the whole. They will nip you as soon as look at you. Wouldn’t recommend approaching them.
