Cruise Loch Ness - Fort Augustus

Great tour! The boat ride was smooth and the crew was very friendly. They do have a bar on the first deck which is enclosed and the second deck is covered but open on the sides. They have sonar running in case Nessie makes an appearance which was fun. The guide gave a great summary of the fish found in the Loch and the research that was being done. He of course also included a short history of Nessie. I grew up reading about Loch Ness, so this was a truly enjoyable experience for me. The views are beautiful and I am very glad that I went on this cruise!

Took the Loch Ness cruise in mid March this year and what an adventure!

Fair warning: it was absolutely freezing, and the downstairs cabin filled up fast, leaving us braving the elements on the upper deck.

Pro tip: arrive early if you want any chance of staying warm indoors! Even wearing the same gear that kept me comfortable in Iceland, I was still shivering.

As for Nessie sightings? Well, let's just say only the truly dedicated (or slightly mad) tourists like us were out there in those conditions - and apparently, the monster has more sense than we do! She was probably tucked away somewhere warm and cozy. The boat had “sonar” screens and a great guide!

Despite the arctic conditions, the scenery was stunning and the experience memorable. Just come prepared for Scottish weather, no matter what the forecast says!

Pro tip #2: Scottish whisky really helps keep one warm!!!! 🥃 full bar on board!

Very nice cruise and at a very fair price, considering the tourism of the area. We went on a whim and were glad we did. Our guide was funny and informative. Our captain took us close to the cliffs. Overall, highly recommended.

Loch Ness is a place of stunning natural beauty. Surrounded by rolling hills and peaceful landscapes, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy the calm and charm of the Scottish Highlands.

Whether you're there for the legendary stories or just to take in the scenery, the loch has a quiet, magical atmosphere that’s hard to forget.

A beautiful destination well worth the visit.

We visited today 16/07/2025 and it was certainly worth its money for 2 hour trip.
Peter the tour guide was brilliant and kept all the passengers entertained and ensuring he spoke to each one. He is definitely an asset to Jacobite!!!
Peter and hubby spotted Nessie 🤣🤣
Currently staying in Loch Ness Lodges, wow these lodges are beautiful and relaxing...visiting from Peterborough and Derby

We had a marvelous skipper call Diane on a speedboat on loch Ness and learned so much about the loch, how it was formed and all the flora and fauna around us as we went. We had amazing views of Urquhart Castle. It was an exciting ride and this is the third time we did it this year! Looking forward to next time thank you everyone at Cruise Loch Ness. We highly recommend you. Pino and Caroline

If you have made the journey this far, this is a must do.
The staff is very professional and informitive, the boat is modern, the bar has great options and is not overpriced.

Very good information.......makes me wonder just a bit about the Nessie phenomenom.

Would Recommend!
