People can’t describe it. The feeling on that loch is just strange. Is it because it’s enormous? Or because of the monster? Join the Loch Ness Cruise and find out for yourself. There are sonar and underwater imaging systems to hunt out the beast and an on board bar for those who don’t believe in it. Cruise duration is approximately 1 hour. Available to book from April to mid-October.
