We did this and I don't know what I imagined but the whole experience really surprised me. The guy who did the talk was great with his scientific explanations but also made the info really interesting and he was quite funny.

Did the RIB trip to Urquart Castle with my two boys, aged 12 and 15, and we've never had so much fun! It was exhillarating, fast and informative. Well worth the money. Definitely do it again.

This is a really fun and at times scary fast boat trip. Very exhilarating. Loved every minute of it. The skipper was very informative about the local area and had lots of great Nessie stories. Saw wild goats ospreys but missed Nessie that day. The skipper looked like he was having great fun and as both boats where out at... More

Modern boat, friendly crew. Were even prepared to sail with a less than break-even number of passengers. Useful commentary, though could do with pausing at the "sonar" bit so you don't miss any of Loch Ness.

We were pushed for time and only had an hour trip - worth it for the beauty of the Loch and info from our skipper.

Went on this trip yesterday and to be honest, I'm a bit underwhelmed. It's a very professionally run operation and I can't fault the customer service or friendliness of the staff, however the boat trip itself was nothing to write home about. The recorded commentary was a bit bland - the highlight of the trip for us was an 'alternative'... More

Went on fast rib with my son & my grandchildren ............a fantastic experience, they can't wait to go again and it was great to see Urqhuart Castle from a different perspective. I recommend it with or without children.

Having seen the fast RIB boats head out on the Loch, we were so excited, but then disappointed that our youngest child was too young for it (you have to be 5 or above). However, we were not let down by the full size (slower) boat trip. Not only was it really informative and comfortable, the big boat gave us... More
