Description

Set off from Inverness for an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Scottish Highlands, exploring the legendary Loch Ness and its enchanting surroundings. This full-day adventure invites you to discover the mystery of Nessie, Scotland’s most famous folklore resident, while soaking up the region’s natural beauty.

Your morning begins with a scenic drive along the Caledonian Canal, leading you to the iconic Urquhart Castle, perched on the loch’s edge. Take time to explore the historic ruins and enjoy sweeping views of Loch Ness. A knowledgeable driver-guide provides engaging commentary throughout the day, enriching your experience with local insights.

Continue to Fort Augustus, a charming village where you can relax by the Caledonian Canal or choose to embark on an optional boat cruise across Loch Ness. The tranquil setting is perfect for a leisurely lunch and a chance to watch boats navigate the famous locks. The cruise and castle entry can be pre-booked for your convenience.

The journey then takes you to the majestic Falls of Foyers, a 165-foot waterfall once beloved by poet Rabbie Burns. After soaking in the serene atmosphere, visit Dores Beach, a peaceful spot on the loch’s eastern shore, ideal for a final stroll before returning to Inverness. The tour is suitable for all fitness levels and operates in all weather conditions.

Travel in comfort with an air-conditioned vehicle and live onboard commentary. The tour departs at 8:45 am, with a meeting point conveniently located near public transport and parking. Spaces are limited, so secure your spot now and experience the magic of Loch Ness and the Highlands!
