This was a great little cruise through the Loch Ness! We were able to see lots of things that you normally wouldn’t see when staying in the city. Definitely worth taking a couple of hours out of our day to do!

A wee bit hard to find Lochgarroch, so leave in plenty time in case you get lost.
We took the cruise as a family trip. 8 Adults and 3 children, 15yrs, 12yrs and 11yrs. We were very lucky with the weather, it was sunny and no wind.
We had a nice welcome from the crew and were given safety talk.
The boat was lovely and modern, very clean and had coffee tea and snacks, which was really good.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our trip (2hrs) and would definitely recommend it. No complaints about anything.
A relaxing 2 hours.

Many thanks for your 5* review - we are delighted to hear that the whole family enjoyed the cruise.
I am sorry to hear you found it difficult to find Dochgarroch Lock. We are approx 5 miles from Inverness on the main A82 road out, with Jacobite Cruise signs on the roadside - further details can be found on our website for anyone else looking to find us.
It is great to hear that the crew looked after you so well and you all had a lovely relaxing time.
We hope to welcome you back!

Stunning scenery and very informative guide(Gordon). Despite the persistent rain, was able to get out and see scenery from the deck and also good view from inside. Interesting facts about the Loch, local landmarks and personalities. One of our group was looking forward to a warming hot chocolate but machine broken - enjoyed a bit of lighthearted banter with the guide about making sure it was on for next time. Definitely worth the trip, even with the weather. Would be lovely to see all different autumn colours on a sunny day.

Thank you for your lovely review, we're so glad you enjoyed the trip and Gordon's banter, he's quite a character! Apologies about the hot chocolate machine, it's typical that it breaks down on a wet day when a hot chocolate would've been very welcome. We hope you'll come back and see us at some point in the future though.

We loved the trip. It was two hours and it went so quick. The views were breathtaking.
Thank you for a fantastic day.

Thank you for your review, we agree the views are just lovely and it certainly gives a different perspective taking in the views from the water.
Glad you enjoyed your time with us.

We joined the 9:30 cruise to the castle and back. Lovely big car park with a large modern cafe/restaurant at the canal side. All COVID-19 precautions taken, and apart from the toilet doors you don’t have to touch anything to get anywhere on the boat. Toilets are fantastic by the way! Like a modern hotel suite! Not expected on a boat. Great coffee on board too.
Saw something lurking in the waters surround the castle when we were sightseeing later that day. Long, slender, black/green. See pics! Few metres long whatever it was, moving about in the water. The truth is out there! 😱🤫

The entire booking process was easy and quick. Everyone we encountered at the centre was professional. The cruise/castle were lovely, we did have amazing weather on the day. Overall I would recommend the cruise company and cruises. It was a wonderful way to experience Loch Ness.

This trip was excellent - up the canal to Loch Ness - fabulous views all the way to Urquhart Castle - the weather was great - make sure you take cameras and binoculars.
Naration was good - snacks were good - only negative was a group of children running round out of control - but this was stopped by staff on the return trip

Have done business with Jacobite for years with my groups. Just took a personal trip on the Caledonian Canal Urquhart cruise and found the service, guide and quality of the same high standard.
Delightful experience throughout. Should be a part of everyone's Inverness Loch Ness experience
