Come enjoy Loch Ness the way it was meant to be enjoyed, without all the crowds! Our local skippers will show you Urquhart Castle, where the sighting hotspots are and much more. There's also plenty of time to ask questions as you'll be part of a group no larger than 12. Our vessel, Nessie Hunter, has both indoor and outdoor seating options. For the unforgettable experience, we offer private cruises where you can have the boat and Skipper to yourself! We're also available for weddings, corporate events, research and TV/ Film work.
Really enjoyed our boat trip on Loch Ness. The Nessie Hunter was spacious and we were able to sit outside at the top (although we needed our coats!). Commentary was fun and informative.
A very windy and wet cruise (just because of the weather) but super fun! Mike was a very friendly and informative captain. Loved the stories of Nessy sightings (do wish the speakers were better quality on top deck though). We were called on the day of our original booking to tell us they'd had to cancel that afternoon's cruises due to safety concerns. I found this really reassuring personally as shows responsibility for safety above all else. We were fortunate to be able to re-arrange booking and it was seamless. Highly recommend this lovely company .
One of the highlights of our trip around Scotland. Mike was a fantastic guide, full of energy and humour. Even letting my kids take the wheel, which they loved! You will also get the best views of the castle. Well worth it!
We had a wonderful trip on the Nessie Hunter. Mike was a fantastic tour guide and boat captain. He had fun stories to share and made the journey so enjoyable. We would highly recommend this tour for everyone. It's smaller and more personal than the other tours.
Loved our Loch Ness cruise aboard the Nessie Hunter with my family. Mike is friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fun facts and stories during the trip. He would also invite the crew to join him in the cabin and view the underwater radar. The boat is a perfect size, keeping group sizes small and easy going. Great views of Urquhart castle and the commentary from Mike gave wonderful insight into our surroundings. My 6yo daughter claims she saw a tail of something in the loch.
Mike was the best tour guide! He had fantastic local knowledge and great energy! The tour was a perfect length, we got close the castle and we e learned a lot :). He also gave us a wonderful recommendation for our route to our next stop (Edinburgh) on our motorcycle trip and it completely changed the next day for us, it made our trip so much better! Thanks Mike!
