• Inverness - The tour kicks off in Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, where our expert guide will greet you. From there, you’ll head south to Dochgarroch, the starting point of the Caledonian Canal and the head of Loch Ness.
• Loch Ness - Here, you can embark on a cruise along the canal and Loch Ness. Loch Ness is the largest body of water by volume in Britain; astonishingly, it could contain all the lakes and rivers of England and Wales. Given its size, it’s no wonder that legends of a monster, known as “Nessie,” have emerged. The first sighting was by St. Columba in the mid-6th century, but it wasn’t until the 1930s that the creature gained widespread attention after being spotted by an American couple. Since then, thousands of sightings have been reported. Who knows? You might be the next to see it.
• Urquhart Castle - If you opt for the cruise along Loch Ness, it will take you to Urquhart Castle, which sits on the loch’s banks. Explore 1,000 years of history, get a glimpse of medieval life, and enjoy breathtaking views of Loch Ness from the ruins of this iconic Highland castle. You’ll have time to wander around the castle before rejoining your mini-bus.
• Invermoriston - Next, we’ll head to Invermoriston to view the famous bridge and waterfalls. Depending on the season, you might even see salmon leaping here.
• Fort Augustus - Our lunch break will be in Fort Augustus, a charming village at the southern end of Loch Ness. The village offers stunning views up the loch. Visitors can also explore the Caledonian Canal Centre to learn about the canal’s history or simply relax and watch the boats navigate the locks.
• The Falls of Foyers - We’ll then visit the Falls of Foyers. A short but spectacular walk through beautiful woodland, where you might spot elusive red squirrels, leads to an impressive waterfall. This breathtaking waterfall plunges 140 feet into a gorge that winds through tall trees before eventually meeting Loch Ness.
• Dores Beach - Our final stop of the day is Dores Beach, a picturesque location offering uninterrupted views down the loch, giving you one last chance to spot Nessie!
