Now you're invited to take a cruise with local, friendly and knowledgeable guides whilst enjoying light refreshments, guided commentary and breathtaking views.

"We went on the full loch cruise today and had a wonderful day. There was a friendly atmosphere, and the crew were helpful and knowledgable. We saw golden and sea eagles and black-throated divers, and the views along the loch were beautiful. Take binoculars for the wildlife (though they had binoculars and reference books on the boat). Thoroughly recommended!"
