Jacobite's award winning tours and cruises get you onto the water and into the heart of this iconic landscape. This is a whole lot more than simply sight-seeing. We've been running trips on and around Loch Ness for over 30 years and most of us live here.

“Definitely a must do!”

Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

Don't know what it is, is it the legend or the many stories, but Loch Ness is not comparable with other lakes. The scenery is breath taking. We had a great time taking the boat trip "Jacobite Cruises". We visited Urquhart castle too! We didn't see Nessie, but the place itself makes it magical enough! More

“Dissapointing!”

Reviewed 20 May 2012

Took a 1 hour cruise on Loch Ness . The weather was awful so it made it difficult to see out of the windows. I thought we would get a lot more information , but it was just a pre-recorded tape. I wouldn't waste your money on this boat trip.!! More

We are really disappopinted that you did not enjoy your trip. The weather has been really foul lately but this week is sunshine all week! We provide written information in 11 different languages including Swedish and whilst people often find the audio difficult to hear we don't have many complaints about the content. Sorry.

“Loch Ness Cruise”

Reviewed 19 May 2012

Great way to see Loch Ness. 3.5 hour boat and bus tour from Inverness to Urquhart Castle. We spent about 30 minutes on the boat from Clansmans Harbour to Urquhart Castle, 1 hour at the Castle and 1 hour at the Nessy Centre. I could have passed on the Nessy Centre it was not very interesting although the gift shop... More

“Jacobite Sight-Seeing”

Reviewed 9 May 2012

We booked The Sensation tour package which does Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle, and the Loch Ness Monster exhibit. Ken, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and solicitous of everyone's comfort. The cruise was fun and not too long (about half an hour), and the hour at the castle was perfect. The Loch Ness Experience was informative and pleasant enough... More

“Reflection Tour on The Jacobite Queen”

Reviewed 9 May 2012

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and felt that it was great value for money at £20, with a free 24 hour pass on the open deck bus tour of Inverness thrown in. We bought our tickets from the bus station (also available from the Information Office) and then took the first bus tour of the city, starting at 10am. This... More

We went for the Passion cruise, which was six and a half hours in total. The staff on the tour and cruise were very informative. The castle was beautiful and the cruise on the loch and up the canal was brilliant. It was cold when we went on the cruise, so it was great that there were covered areas on... More

Our boys were very excited about visiting Loch Ness and getting to ride on the loch itself was a special treat. The indoor seating on the vote was a bonus in the cold climate. More

“Relaxing Sunday Afternoon”

Booked the Reflection tour as we had stopped at Urquhart castle on the drive up. Weather not great but hot drinks available and in some ways it added to the atmosphere of the trip. Informative commentary and terrific views. More
