Outstanding! - We had a fabulous time! The staff on land and onboard were friendly and helpful. Ewan (the commentator) was very informative and knowledgeable! The boat was comfortable and clean and not overcrowded. Dog friendly too which was a bonus.
Only 2 disappointments - having to get off the boat and Nessie was clearly not coming out to play!
We had such fun! Thanks so much. Till next time.
Love Euan, Emma, Jemima & Kiro! X

Quick and easy way to go to the Loch Ness. - We didn’t have long in Inverness, but you don’t go to Inverness without visiting “the monster.” It was a Sunday, so public buses weren’t running. We ended up taking the Hop On bus (with senior discount!) to the boat landing, which also has a cafe, shop, and an outlet of the beer ice cream in Inverness (Miele).
The boat tour, and the bus, are narrated, and you can walk up and pay for either/both with a credit card.
What a lovely day!! PS - the weather has been uncharacteristically warm, but both the bus and boat have plenty of covered areas for rainy days.

We got a glimpse of Nessie! - A great cruise on Loch Ness for our family. We chose the morning cruise so there were fewer people onboard, which made it more relaxing. It was a brisk but beautiful morning, and we were able to have coffee in the cafe before the cruise and lunch afterwards. The narration onboard was funny and informative, which made it great for kids.

Great experience when visiting Loch Ness - Very enjoyable cruise with super friendly and informative crew. Had we had time we would have gone for the 2 hour cruise as I think views of Urquhart Castle would have made the experience more interesting.

A wonderful experience with wonderful staff - Our Jacobite cruise was a great experience. Our tour guide Malcolm was a delight. He had very interesting information about the surrounding area and made jokes that made the cruise all the more enjoyable. The sights were beautiful and the staff on board made it an overall wonderful trip. I would go with them again.
