An Invergordon shore excursion to Loch Ness is one of the most requested days we run. Invergordon is the main cruise port for Inverness and the Highlands, and Loch Ness is within easy reach. We meet you at the terminal, plan the route and timings around your ship, and deliver you back with time to spare.
The drive from Invergordon to Loch Ness is roughly 45 minutes to an hour. We typically include Urquhart Castle (entry by arrangement), viewpoints along the loch, and optional stops such as Culloden or Clava Cairns when your port window allows. Every tour is private for your group with a dedicated driver-guide and luxury Mercedes vehicle.
This is our same core Loch Ness and Highlands tour, with start and finish at Invergordon and a schedule built around your cruise.
Timings and suitability for cruise ships
