I liked it all. Beautiful scenery and there is so much so see and do around the area. Great for walking and enjoying the outdoors.

We took the one hour cruise. It was very well organised and informative. The views were stunning and each manor house we passed, the skipper gave us a brief history. To the extent of telling us the largest island in the middle of the lock is a nudist colony! Bit cold ! Glad we took this trip.

Excellent trip. Good value for money. The staff were very helpful, even to the extent of coming to us, asking if we had managed to see the place that we were attending a wedding the following day. The scenery was excellent, and the description by the staff very informative.

We booked a 2 hour cruise in advance to experience a quiet cruise upon a loch before our R.I.B. adventure on Loch Ness. The boat was Ok, comfortable and adequate viewing for everyone, though our cruise was not completely full. It consists of two decks and space outside for views. We cruised up and around the loch, viewing islands and... More

A nice little cruise around the Loch. Take the 1 hour cruise as not much info was given in the recorded audio portion of the cruise.

We saw a queue waiting to board the boat moored by the dock. The details of the cruise were alongside. As we went on we could not understand why people were coming back off having been in the queue before us. All was revealed when our money was taken, we were ushered onto the boat only to be herded out... More

I had a day out with one of my friends and spied one of the boats cruising the loch while having my lunch and just had to have a go. The tickets are pretty cheap and we didnt have to wait very long for the boat to arrive. We took the hour cruise and it was really excellent and relaxing.... More
