5.00We booked last minute and loved the whole experience. Easy drive from Inverness, smooth check-in and great cruise. Commentary was entertaining and informative. We were lucky to have a beautiful day to sit up top and take it all in. Lock activity when we arrived back was also interesting and we met some hairy coos as a bonus.

We last-second booked this tour as we were going to drive through the area and had a little time to spare (this ended up being our allotted time for lunch and we ate in the car, haha!). Such a beautiful area and a nice prompt tour. Calm waters and a welcoming team! We would definitely do it again, but the longer version. If you do not have a lot of time, this tour was wonderful!

5.00This was a great little cruise through the Loch Ness! We were able to see lots of things that you normally wouldn’t see when staying in the city. Definitely worth taking a couple of hours out of our day to do!
