Review of the Loch Ness one-hour cruise from Inverness, with Urquhart Castle views, Nessie lore, onboard comforts, prices, and practical tips.
“The one-hour cruise fully met my expectations for our adventure on the waters of Loch Ness. While it's getting chilly this time of year (and I'd suggest a lined wind-breaker or other waterproof jacket with a hood), the upper deck was manageable. If it hadn't been, the fully enclosed lower deck would have accommodated all of us comfortable. Polite crew, good navigating, interesting lessons on the public-address - just right!”

“Great tour, and Katie was a wonderful guide. She kept up an ongoing narrative during the drive from the Inverness Bus Station to the boat dock and back again after the boat tour. Very clear instructions about meet-up location after the boat tour. The Loch Ness boat tour was awesome - so incredibly peaceful, and perfect weather that day for it! Commentary was great, too. The only downside is that one hour at Urquhart Castle is not nearly long enough for exploring the site. Could easily have used twice that amount of time.”

Ritchie was so professional and knowledgeable, funny and friendly and he wore a quilt! He was great about sharing information for our destinations and the area as we motored along.
