Book directly with operator for best fare. Worth doing to really enjoy the lake close up. Great photo opportunities.
Nothing wrong with it but I feel like it was way too expensive for what is was. I also feel like you get a good enough view of the lake by just parking at any of the many free parking spots scattered around it.
Amazing experience. Highly recommend. It’s a one time experience to see castle views and cruise alongside the loch.
Definitely a must do if you go to lochness
Hi there, Thanks so much for your kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed your time with us and hope to see you again soon! Kind regards, Team Jacobite
It was difficult to hear the narrator due to many people talking in the cabin. I suggest audio guides during the excursion.
Outside seating is lovely to get the full experience. Take a coat. Commentary is interesting. Thank you
Excellent tour. Easy access to the dock, friendly staff and a narrated cruise to the castle. Being on the boat gives you an appreciation of just how expansive the Loch truly is. Very highly recommended.

Easy to find and plenty of seating inside and out. Friendly staff. Easy trip! Meeting location had a great cafe and friendly staff!
This was made out to be a very interactive trip and we were very excited as our little ones are crazy for Nessie. However, it was a complete let down. Not really interactive at all, a simple voice over with some facts about Loch Ness. The only bit the kids were interested in or understood was that Scooby Doo had met Nessie. The boat was lovely but that was about it. Not worth the money we paid.
Excellent Brilliant Wonderful
