The views were amazing. Crisp spring weather so wear your jacket and cap. They have warm drinks and snacks. Tour guide gives lots of interesting facts along the way. You can sit outside for an up close look for Nessie or stay warm inside .We had a very nice lunch in the cafe after the trip. Recommend this fun experience.

The tour guide, Malcolm, was full of interesting information and jokes! The on board bar was a nice touch and even with rain, we had a great time and got fantastic pictures! Pet and family friendly!

Very pleasant trip, in a great atmosphere. Chocolate with whisky did the trick too. I think it would be nice even with worse weather. Not difficult to walk bac to Inverness afterwards, 2 hours should be enough.

Comfortable boat, despite the cold windy weather! Boat was immaculately clean too. Lovely crew, everyone was friendly and helpful. Our tour guide was great. His information was very enjoyable and entertaining. Highland hot chocolate was a real treat. The two hours went very quickly, we had a great time.

Great tour guide and staff on the boat. They were friendly and welcoming and showed us a great time. A toy Nessie was provided to give those believers a thrill by posing over the water while being photographed.

What a fun and informative trip! The boat ride itself was worth it, but the tour guides and the views were brilliant! John and Ali provided a fabulous experience and made you feel at home and so welcome.
