5.00After a friendly reception, the skipper will take you on the lake. With a good portion of humor he explains what you see, the history, the ben nevis, the seals (which you can admire up close) ... Cool facts that I immediately shared with my friends who were walking the WHW 😄
Great tour but beware the queue jumpers

4.00The trip itself is great, the crew are friendly and informative and it’s a lovely way to spend two hours and see some of the sights of Fort William. Reasonably priced too. Our big complaint was that there were a few of us who had arrived early so we could choose where to sit, unfortunately a tour bus arrived with prearranged tickets (not booked seats) and they were boarded ahead of everyone in the queue. Very frustrating and unacceptable. I understand that local companies make deals with tour companies, but there is no reason they can’t queue the same as everyone else.
A worthwhile trip round Loch linnie.

5.00Great tour of Loch Linnhe! We really enjoyed getting out on the water, seeing Fort William and Ben Nevis from a different perspective and learning about the area. Binoculars were provided which was a nice touch. Wildlife was pointed out as it appeared. We had a great time!
