Climb aboard a cruise boat and make your way across the mysterious loch, taking in awe-inspiring natural vistas of lush greenery and rambling hills.

    Fine experience, kind of felt like a super touristy ferry. We rode to and from the castle while listening to pre recorded information about the lake. Probably a better experience if you get off and walk around the castle.

  • Fantastic Loch Ness Tour

    Educational, interesting, and comfortable. The staff was great and the Loch is beautiful. The tour itself was just the right length of time at 60 minutes. Go early to avoid crowds.
