Canoeing on Loch Ness

Loch Ness

Canoe Explorer Tour - Loch Ness

Take a wonderful trip by Canoe on the most iconic of Scotland's great Lochs.....Loch Ness. One of the deepest & most mysterious of Lochs, with some awe-inspiring scenery. Minimum age 7.

Starting from picturesque Fort Augustus, you will get the chance to explore the southern end of Loch Ness in very stable open (Canadian-style) canoes.

Enjoy stunning views and experience the likes of Inchnacardoch Bay, Cherry Island (the site of an ancient ‘crannog’ - house on stilts), Fort Augustus Abbey and the mouths of the Rivers Tarf and Oich from the unique perspective of a small boat on the big loch.

If the weather is calm we will also head out into the middle of the loch to look for Nessie…. History buffs can discover how Fort Augustus got its name and learn about the engineering marvel that is the Caledonian Canal.

Suitable for adults and children aged 7+. Young children will sit on an extra third seat in the canoe, so there are still two people to paddle and control the canoe.

From £53 per adult
