Description

Discover the iconic Loch Ness on a guided day trip from Inverness. Admire the fantastic views of the Loch and learn about its legends and secrets as you explore the scenic surroundings. Depart Inverness and follow the Caledonian Canal to the source of the River Ness. Head to the lesser-visited shoreline of Dores, located on the eastern side of the loch for a striking vista of Loch Ness and the Great Glen rift valley. Just a short drive away is your next stop, the forest community of Foyers. Walk downhill through native pine trees to see the hidden-away Falls of Foyers. Admire the views of this stunning waterfall was a favorite spot for Robert Burns, widely regarded as Scotland's national poet. Invigorated after a visit to the falls, continue south along single-track roads through a densely forested landscape. Arrive at Fort Augustus, where you can purchase lunch and take a picture of the boats coming in through the Caledonian Canal. Next, you venture to Invermoriston, where you can take a short walk to an old summerhouse with views of the river Moriston. Throughout the adventure keep your eyes peeled for the monster or breath-taking vistas as we continue along the banks of Loch Ness. Explore the grounds of Urquhart Castle, the setting for some of the most dramatic chapters in Scottish history. Get closer to the mystery on an hour-long cruise on Loch Ness, before returning to Inverness in the early evening.

To maintain balance and comfort on board, group bookings are limited to a maximum of 8 passengers per booking. Please note this does not mean the tour is capped at 8 people overall - our small-group tours operate with up to 16 participants in total. This way, you’ll share the journey with other like-minded travellers while still enjoying the benefits of a smaller group: more personal service, more time with locals, more opportunities off the bus, and a friendlier, more authentic travel experience. *Please note that on 28 September, instead of the Jacobite Cruise, we will take the Clansman (one-way) cruise to Urquhart Castle in the morning, and then follow the tour route in reverse.
