Description

Discover the iconic Loch Ness on a guided day trip from Inverness. Admire the fantastic views of the Loch and learn about its legends and secrets as you explore the scenic surroundings.
Depart Inverness and follow the Caledonian Canal to the source of the River Ness. Head to the lesser-visited shoreline of Dores, located on the eastern side of the loch, for a striking vista of Loch Ness and the Great Glen rift valley.

Continue to the forest community of Foyers. Walk downhill through native pine trees to see the hidden-away Falls of Foyers. Admire the views of this stunning waterfall, a favorite spot for Robert Burns, widely regarded as Scotland's national poet.

Invigorated after a visit to the falls, continue south along single-track roads through a densely forested landscape. Arrive at Fort Augustus, where you can purchase lunch and take a picture of the boats coming in through the Caledonian Canal.

Next, venture to Invermoriston, where you can take a short walk to an old summerhouse with views of the River Moriston. Keep your eyes peeled for the monster or breathtaking vistas as you continue along the banks of Loch Ness.

Explore the grounds of Urquhart Castle, the setting for some of the most dramatic chapters in Scottish history. Get closer to the mystery on an hour-long cruise on Loch Ness, before returning to Inverness in the early evening.
