A day to explore Loch Ness, enjoy the marvellous views and mystique around the famous loch and its monster. As you leave Inverness you will follow along the Caledonian Canal to the loch. Once you have arrived to the loch there will be an option to go on a cruise* to Urquhart Castle, where you can disembark and explore the ancient castle alternatively you can choose a cruise* around the loch. There will be a stop at Drumnadrochit, from there the journey continues to Invermoriston and Fort Augustus.
The slower roads take you through the less-travelled side of Loch Ness. You may stop for a photo and view looking east towards Loch Ness and Inverness. After a twisty drive through forested landscape, you arrive at the forest community of Foyers. At this stop, you can walk downhill through native pine trees to see the hidden-away Falls of Foyers. From here, you continue back along the Lochside and to Dores at the eastern end of the Loch. This final viewpoint is the most striking vista of Loch Ness and the Great Glen rift valley.
