Overview
Return journey: We WILL have you back to your ship around 1 hour prior to its departure time. We nearly always arrive back BEFORE the ship’s own buses. We’re very efficient and have been doing this for 7 years, serving thousands of cruise passengers every summer season. Check out special offers at Thistle Excursions too - save, save, save! This tour is DIFFERENT as it takes you to the very edge of Loch Ness where you can touch it or walk in, unlike nearly every other tour company who visit Loch Ness on the steep side, only stopping in a lay-by for photos. This minibus tour from Invergordon features highlights from Outlander, Culloden, Castles, Loch Ness & Nessie! It packs in a lot for one day's tour and is very affordable and good value for money. Our website contains full details of all tours and booking. Please check the tour times on our website, as the times listed here are approximate. We try to take this tour in a 4, 8 or 16 or 33 seater vehicle. Thank you
Meeting and Pickup
In 2026 the cruise ships will dock at various locations but guests meet us at one point. At the west harbour pedestrian crossing lights on Shore Road. All the independent tour guides wait there so look for our Thistle Guides.
