Description

Step aboard for a scenic 50-minute cruise departing from Dochgarroch Lock, just outside Inverness, Scotland. Glide along the historic Caledonian Canal, a masterpiece engineered by Thomas Telford, and soak in the tranquil beauty of the Highlands from the water.

As you journey, the striking silhouettes of Aldourie Castle and Bona Lighthouse appear along the canal’s edge. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife—majestic eagles, playful otters, graceful herons, and elegant swans often make an appearance, adding magic to your cruise.

The highlight of your trip is the breathtaking transition onto Loch Ness, where panoramic views of this legendary loch unfold before you. With expert commentary from your live guide, learn about the region’s rich history and natural wonders as you sail.

Stay alert for the mysterious Nessie as the onboard sonar helps you search for the famous Loch Ness Monster. Enjoy free WiFi, comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors, and accessible facilities for all guests, including wheelchair access and dog-friendly policies.

The cruise departs conveniently from Dochgarroch Lock, with ample free parking available at the nearby An-Talla café. After your adventure, savor local cuisine or browse unique Scottish souvenirs. Book your spot now for an unforgettable Highland experience—spaces fill quickly!
