Obviously, it is a must-see, and you have to come here to do it. Interesting comment. 2-hour walk with a stop at Urquhart Castle. It is magnificent. Highland cows are present right next to the parking lot. We ate at the restaurant. There are 2 rooms and a security guard directs families with children to one side and the other room allows you to eat quietly

An absolute brilliant 50 minute cruise with Jamie B as our tour guide! All the staff were so friendly, and really cared about our experience, making sure we were happy, answering questions and keeping the boat shipshape for us! Jamie was fantastic and so knowledgeable about the loch and it's stories, and took the time to go around every group sat in the saloon to say hi, answer any questions and add extra anecdotes! My 6 year old loved it, moving around the boat to the different viewpoints and looking for Nessie! We will absolutely be back, next time we'll be doing the 2 hour cruise - we wish we'd booked that one originally now!
Thank you so much for your kind review Laura! We’re delighted to hear you and your family had such a fantastic time on board. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Jamie B, who will be so thrilled to hear he helped make your cruise so memorable. It’s lovely to know your little one enjoyed searching for Nessie, and you’ll be back to try the 2-hour cruise to spot her next time. We look forward to welcoming you on board with us again soon!

Kieran the guide was great and told us the history of the loch with very pleasant British humor. The view was magnificent, the history rich, and the monster very much present although discreet. A must-see

Great boat trip very friendly staff and informative of the loch. The trip was calm with views from the front rear or top of the boat Fantastic views of loch ness and easy to get to. We will be visiting agian next year
We cannot wait to see you back next year and we are delighted it was a calm day for you and that you enjoyed the views.
This was a fantastic way to get out on Loch Ness if you're pinched for time and only have an hour. The boat was spacious and comfortable. The tour guide Ewan was entertaining and knowledgeable. If we had more time to spend that day, I would have gladly doubled the trip! Would highly recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your hour on Loch Ness and that Ewan made the trip both fun and informative. It’s great to know you’d have happily spent even more time with us maybe next time you can join one of our longer cruises. We really appreciate the recommendation!
