Just Right - The two-hour tour included the Caledonian Canal and plenty of time on Loch Ness and around Urquhart Castle. The sightlines from the boat were great and although it was windy on the Loch (who could have guessed?), the ride was still enjoyable.
Very informative and entertaining commentary without talking the entire time was welcome. A well-run organization.

Loch Ness Cruise - Excellent staff and tour guide. Boat is built for views and the ride has many of those. I would recommend to anyone wanting to see Loch Ness up close.

Great Experience - This was well worth it- we had a relaxing and beautiful cruise along the Lochs and the narration was spot on. Would recommend as a great way to see the area. Also, really nice facilities at the dock. Well done!

Excellent trip - Really good 2 hour cruise on a large boat with good facilities - when booking book a Hot Chocolate with whisky! Smooth boarding with nice shop and cafe at Dochgarroch. Had good, and a bit chilly, seats at the front of the boat with fantastic views. Good commentary. One word of advice - do wrap up if you go in September.
