Overview

This 4-hour tour departs from Inverness Bus Station and includes a coach journey with an expert guide who provides commentary along the way. The group travels approximately 25 miles to Loch Ness, where they board a Jacobite boat for a 1-hour cruise across the loch. The boat features on-board restrooms and WiFi, and refreshments are available to purchase. After the cruise, passengers disembark at the Urquhart Castle jetty and have one hour to explore the castle ruins located on the shore of Loch Ness. Following the castle visit, the tour continues with a short coach ride to the Loch Ness Centre. Visitors can walk through exhibits that cover 500 million years of the loch’s history and surrounding area. After the museum visit, the coach returns to Inverness. The tour includes admission fees, the boat cruise, an expert guide, on-board WiFi, restrooms, and air-conditioned transport. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included. Travelers should arrange their own transport to Inverness, as connections from Invergordon are limited. Guide dogs are the only service animals allowed, and infants require a booked seat with a car seat supplied.
