1 Day Loch Ness, Mallaig & The Glenfinnan Viaduct

On this full-day adventure from Inverness, you’ll have the option to travel across the world-famous ‘Harry Potter Bridge’ on the very line used by the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter film series.

Our Glenfinnan Viaduct tour departs from Inverness, starting with a journey along the world-famous Loch Ness and a stop at the Highland village of Fort Augustus. We continue south and visit the Commando Memorial, which looks out over the Nevis Range – home to the UK’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis.

Before continuing to Mallaig, we stop at the Glenfinnan Viaduct, instantly recognisable from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. You’ll then have free time in Mallaig to grab lunch and explore the harbour.

From here, the day splits depending on your departure:

On selected dates, you’ll have the option to board the train* for a spectacular journey to Fort William along the West Highland Line. This is the same route made famous by the Jacobite Steam Train, known to many as the Hogwarts Express in the films. The train curves across the Glenfinnan Viaduct and winds through lochs, open moorland and small Highland communities, with ever-changing views from your window. It’s a relaxed, scenic ride and a real highlight of the day. You’ll disembark the train in Fort William, where your driver guide will pick you up and continue the rest of the journey by coach.

On other departures, we continue by coach along the scenic Road to the Isles, following a stunning coastal route with wide Highland views.  This route takes us directly to Invermoriston, giving you more time to soak up the scenery along the way.

Whichever way you travel, the adventure continues at Invermoriston,  stopping to admire the old stone bridge over the River Moriston. On our drive back towards Loch Ness, we get the chance to catch views above the iconic ruins of Urquhart Caste before arriving into Inverness in the evening. 


*Train journeys must be reserved at the time of booking. Check availability for this add-on in the grey box below. Please note this is not the Jacobite Steam Train.
