Overview

No one can resist the mythical Loch Ness: its beauty evokes a sense of wonder, while its monstrous depths are legendary. On this 7-hour small-group tour, you explore all of it in the comfort of a luxury, 16 seat mini-coach. You can enjoy incredible views, learn about the historic ruins of Urquhart Castle, and explore the less frequented south roads of the loch. Even if the monster doesn't show up, you can be assured that your experienced driver-guide will bring this loch to life with beastly tales and history.

Itinerary

  • Dores

    You leave Inverness and follow the Caledonian Canal to the source of the River Ness. Your guide takes you down the road less travelled to Dores, on the eastern side of the loch. This tiny village boasts a beach with the most striking vista of Loch Ness and the Great Glen rift valley. Get your camera ready for your first photos of the mysterious waters and potential monster sightings before you continue your journey.

    15 minutes

  • The Falls of Foyers

    Take a walk downhill through native pine trees to see the hidden-away Falls of Foyers

    30 minutes

  • Fort Augustus

    Here you can have your lunch and take a picture of the boats coming in through the Caledonian Canal. ** From 1st April 2025, you will stop for lunch in Drumnadrochit.

    45 minutes

  • Invermoriston Falls

    Go for a wonderful wander through lush forests and cascading waterfalls.

    30 minutes

  • Loch Ness

    Whether you believe the legends or not, keep your eyes peeled for the monster or breath-taking vistas as we continue along the banks of Loch Ness. We know Loch Ness is all about Nessie, but the banks of the loch are home to another star; Urquhart Castle. This time-worn stronghold has witnessed some of the most dramatic chapters in Scottish history. Walk the grounds of the castle and listen to the echoes of battles reverberating in the ancient walls. And then enjoy getting closer to the mystery on an hour-long cruise of the loch.

Shauna is a LEGEND!

Published on Feb, 2025

Honestly the best day EVER! Shauna not only shared her immense local knowledge, but also her warm personality and cheery good humour and made it an experience to remember. From start to finish we were made to feel welcome on board the bus, Shauna made sure we were well taken care of and comfortable throughout. The tour itself covered all of the local attractions with all stops being the perfect amount of time and Shauna’s knowledge along the way was immense and inspiring. We had fab companions for the day who had travelled from Oklahoma and we all left feeling more like friends than strangers. Well done - Ten/Ten ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great day exploring Loch Ness. Mick was a great guide and doing a tour as part of a small group was really beneficial. Would definitely recommend.
