Had a fabulous trip down Loch Ness with my work colleague & our autistic service user. First time on a boat for him & his face was an absolute picture. The crew were amazing & I must point out how lovely & polite Linda our commentator is . A true asset to the company. Thankyou for a lovely couple off hours 👍

The 2-hour Contemplation cruise was very enjoyable, seeing the Caledonian Canal, River Ness, Loch Dochfour, and Loch Ness (as well as seeing Castle Urquhart from the boat). The water was choppy but the size of the boat means that this is not felt too much, especially inside, which is warm regardless of the outside weather. We had sun, wind, and rain, none of which negatively impacted the tour at all. Kieran was a fantastic and friendly host/guide, clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about the loch and its stories, which was lovely to hear and really enhanced the experience. He even offered to take a photo of us which was much appreciated. I would strongly recommend this to anyone who likes a boat ride; beautiful views; history/legends; and photography.

Lovely location/buildings with a great cafe/restaurant that seems to attract many more people than go on the cruises. Cruise itself was lovely with great staff

An excellent morning trip with Jacobite Cruises. Especially s we only booked on-line the day before. We arrive quite early for our cruise, even then there was quite a que as a couple of tour buses had arrived. There is a good restaurant on the site at Dochgarroch and snacks and coffee are available as you wait. Once the boarding commenced it was very quick. There are some great staff here to help you. It was a fine calm morning so we took our seat on the upper deck. It was a great two hour round trip to Urquart Castle and back, starting at Dochgarroch Lock on the Caledonian Canal. Travelling down a short distance on the canal before opening up into Loch Ness itself. There are stunning views of the Great Glen, highlands and Aldourie Castle. Then the highlight is the approach to Urquart Castle standing on the shore of the loch. The crew on board are friendly and the commentary by the captain is both informative and witty at times, he had a subtle sense of humor and not all his jokes got the deserved laughter form some of the passengers. Especially like the "dad" jokes!!! Joking aside there was a great deal of information on the history of Loch Ness and the castles. As well as the mystery of the monster, you’ll learn the fascinating story of Loch Ness. At Urquart Castle we discharged most of the passengers and then set off back to Dochgarroch. If there was one slight disappointment it was that we didn't spend some time with views of Urquart Castle. The pervious day when at the castle we saw the same vessel do a number of figure of eights offshore, obviously for everyone to get a good view of the castle. Sadly on our trip we just docked for passengers to get off and on. On our return we had lunch at the restaurant and spent sometime with the Highland Cows near the car park. An excellent way to finish off our morning. Definitely recommend this cruise if you are in the Inverness area it's a great way to see the Great Glen, Loch Ness and castles along it's shore. Since December TripAdvisor has not been adding my contributions so I'm now doing it myself. This Review takes it to 12392. Thank you for reading.

This was so enjoyable and interesting. Hearing all the stories. Every member of staff was friendly and came across as sincere when talking to you. The boat was clean and warm considering the weather. Many sights and some great photo opportunities. Highly recommend
