-
InvernessThe tour begins in Inverness, the capital of the Highlands. This is were our knowledgeable guide will meet you. You will then travel south to Dochgarroch and the start of the Caledonian Canal and the head of Loch Ness.
-
Loch NessHere, you will be able to join a cruise along the canal and Loch Ness. Loch Ness is the largest body of water in Britain by volume; incredibly, all lakes and rivers of England and Wales would fit in it. With these dimensions, it’s not surprising that a monster is believed to live in the depth of the Loch. The famous “Nessie” was first seen by St. Columba in the mid-6th century. But it wasn’t until the 1930s that the mysterious creature came to widespread notice when it was seen again by an American couple. Since then, there have been thousands of sightings, and who knows? Maybe you will be the next to spot it.
-
Urquhart CastleAfter joining the optional cruise along Loch Ness, it will take you to Urquhart Castle which is perched on the banks of the loch. Discover 1,000 years of drama, experience a glimpse of medieval life and enjoy stunning views over Loch Ness from the ruins of the greatest castle in the Highlands. You’ll have time to explore the castle before getting back onto your waiting mini-bus.
-
InvermoristonWe’ll continue on to Invermoriston to see the iconic bridge and waterfalls. At certain times of the year, you may be able to see the salmon leaping here.
-
Fort AugustusOur lunch stop is Fort Augustus, a pretty village at the south end of Loch Ness. This village offers stunning views up the loch. Visitors can also enjoy a visit to the Caledonian Canal Centre and learn about the history of the canal. Or just sit back and watch the boats navigating the locks.
-
The Falls of FoyersWe will then visit the Falls of Foyers. First, a short but spectacular walk. The pathway winds you through stunning woodland, where you must look out for the illusive red squirrels which will then lead you to an impressive waterfall. This is a breath-taking waterfall with a 140ft drop into a gorge that winds its way through tall trees until it eventually meets Loch Ness.
-
Dores BeachOur final stop of the day will be at Dores Beach, a stunning spot which offers undisturbed views down the loch, for one last chance to spot Nessie!
