Enjoy the perfect Monster Day Out travelling ALL the way around Loch Ness.

We head out of Inverness along The Great Glen heading for Loch Ness. After a brief stop at Dochgarroch we drive alongside Loch Ness to The Loch Ness Centre at Drumnadrochit. Here we will take a walk through 500 million years of history to explore the myths of the loch.

Experience the mystery of Loch Ness like never before on our private tour. We’ll explore its picturesque surroundings by car, discovering hidden gems and soaking up the enchanting historic Scottish landscape.
