We went on a very windy and cold day, but got some great photos and inside the cabin was nice and warm. The boat was clean, check-in was easy, there was parking closeby. Great little tour.

Nessie
Extremely well narrated. Interesting and informative. We had a lovely trip without seeing Nessie. Thank you.

Excellent tour of Loch...
Excellent tour of Loch Ness, Beauly, Urquhart Castle, Culloden and the Clava Cairns. My only quibble was the 45 minutes at a distillery - it wasn't on the itinerary, and there was nothing else there for people who didn't want to pay extra for the distillery tour to do. Other than that, it was great.

We were a bit skeptical...
We were a bit skeptical since a few things were cancelled; however, Sonia made the trip even better than was advertised with the locations she took us to and what we experienced. We saw so much more than anticipated. Her knowledge was awesome and even her playlist made the trip memorable (still playing some of her songs today). Highly recommend and ask for Sonia if you can.

Great half day excursion
Don’t miss the castle - it’s well worth the visit! The boat cruise was scenic and relaxing. The highlight was the friendly and energetic crew!

Enjoyable cruise!
Parking up for the cruise and getting to the departure point was straightforward. Lovely trip up the loch to the castle. You can sit inside or outside and there is a bar onboard. An enjoyable trip.

meh
you absolutely can not hear the overhead information and history even standing under a speaker id there are others in the room :( the Loch and views of Urquart are beautiful but we could not hear anything about them and that was very disappointing. Need to provide a visual screen of whats being said or even a printed version

Sarah was an outstanding guide! She took us to places off the beaten path and ensured we saw everything important to us especially the Highland cows! She was extremely knowledgeable of the history of the highlands and it was a pleasure to spend the day learning from her! We highly recommend this tour!!

Nice tour with good views and pace
The highlight was the cruise and the castle visit . The weather in the morning was crazy with rain and heavy gusts and the weather changes so quickly . Our guide was good and knowledgeable.

Good boat ride, albeit a little short
This was a nice boat ride, but it's less than an hour- 50 minutes maximum.
It runs from the Clansman Dock to the Castle and back again.
The volume of the commentary was pretty quiet, so it was difficult to hear, and apart from the castle, where a LOT of people joined the trip, there were not many other points of interest.
The views are stunning- so it's worth it for that alone.

This was the perfect way...
This was the perfect way to explore Loch Ness!! I thoroughly enjoyed the boat tour and it helped that the weather was fantastic. Urquhart castle was a must and it was the perfect amount of time to explore. And the museum was a fun way to end the experience!

When to visit

With its rich history of battles, Urquhart Castle is an absolute must for history enthusiasts.
Wear comfortable shoes and bring rain gear, as much of the ruins are exposed to the elements.
Most of the castle is accessible via paved paths, with the exception of the guardhouse, the battlements, and the first floor and basement of Grant Tower.
