Urquhart Castle

About this activity

This semi-private adventure is the perfect way to experience the legends and landscapes of Loch Ness without the crowds of a big coach tour. Travelling in a small group means a more relaxed pace, personal attention from your guide, and the flexibility to truly take in the beauty of the Highlands.

You’ll explore the dramatic ruins of Urquhart Castle—with entrance included—and enjoy stunning views across the loch where Nessie is said to dwell. Stroll through the village of Fort Augustus with time to watch the boats pass through the Caledonian Canal and enjoy a leisurely lunch at a café of your choice.

You’ll also take in the Falls of Foyers and the pebble beach at Dores, where you might even encounter the local "Monster Hunter"! With stories, scenery, and a few surprises along the way, this tour is an unforgettable journey into the heart of Loch Ness.
