Itinerary

Arrive at Boleskine House for your morning tour (to allow you enough time to fully immerse yourself in all that the building has to offer, we suggest you arrive for 10.30am at the latest).  Learn about the varied history and mystery of this exquisite building and its grounds, and the painstaking refurbishment which has led to the building you see today.  Explore the grounds and gardens, soaking in the majestic views over Loch Ness.

Once you have finished your tour, take some time to take in your surroundings – enjoy a picnic, take a stroll among the native woodlands, or head down to Foyers Pier for a picnic on the shores of Loch Ness.  If you prefer, you can purchase lunch, snacks and refreshments at The Pier Cafe, which is located at Foyers Pier.

If you haven’t already, make your way down to Foyers Pier for your boat trip to the historic Urquhart Castle on the north shore of Loch Ness.  Your boat trip departs at 1.30pm, please ensure that you are at the pier and ready to board no later than 1pm.

This unique crossing is the only direct boat trip to Urquhart Castle from the south side of Loch Ness, giving you the opportunity to experience the wonders of the loch from a completely different perspective.

Once we reach Urquhart Castle, you will be dropped off at their very own jetty to spend an hour exploring the grounds, before re-boarding the boat and returning to Foyers Pier for 3.30pm.

Your all-inclusive ticket covers access to both Boleskine House & Urquhart Castle and your boat trip to and from Urquhart Castle.  Both sites offer free parking.
