Nice sundowner boat-trip at Loch Linnhe

It was a really nice boat-trip and the captain, a young lady told us about all the details which are important for Loch Linnhe, the region an about the wildlife on land and sea. We had very nice weather on our trip, so we could watch a sundowner over Loch Linnhe and the mountains. It was great.

I really enjoyed they're evening cruise on the Loch; excellent water to spend my last evening in Fort William. The commentary was informative as well as humorous in parts. We didn't get to see a lot of local wildlife, but were treated to a stunning sunset on the Loch. Highly recommended! (Take a warm jacket)

A really great experience! Captain and crew were relaxed and knowledgable, friendly and professional. Special shout-out to Dara and Owen for bringing the history of the lochs to life in such an engaging way. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely way to spend an hour and a half, cruising on a mill pond loch, or two, surrounded by lovely scenery, would recommend

This cruise was long, boring, and overpriced! The girl who drove the ferry and talked about the locks, etc was great. The rest not.

The Fort William sunset cruise was an unforgettable experience! Our host was both entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating bits of history while keeping the atmosphere light and fun. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with the mountains and loch glowing in the evening light. A perfect blend of sightseeing and history – highly recommended!
