Fantastic experience - Friendly and knowledgable crew. Binoculars provided. Blankets and waterproofs were available if needed. .

Excellent - Absolutely brilliant friendly and informative and what amazing views would highly recommend given this trip a go . We parked at the hotel car park and its a 5 minute walk and we were given a friendly reception and the 2 hours fly by

Highly recommended for a bit of quiet escape time - Really enjoyed this- narrator very knowledgeable. The weather was dry which made it more e joyable. They do sell drinks (hot and cold) but we didn't buy any.

Fantastic job - Amazing tour ... Ben and his captain have done a fantastic job ... very informative with lot's of historical facts and hints ... and different animals to be observed! We loved the 2 hours spending with them!

A fine cruise on Loch Shiel - A great cruise! Very well equipped with binoculars, blankets and ponchos in case of poor weather. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The cruise took us through some lovely scenery. It took account of Harry Potter fans and people wanting to know about history and wildlife. Toilets and refreshments also available. I would recommend wholeheartedly.

Glorious views along Loch Shiel - After a greeting from the very friendly crew, we set sail on this lovely old cruise boat. We were lucky enough to have lots of space to admire the views and found the commentary excellent. The sights of the Jacobite train crossing the viaduct and continuing along past the church were very special. We were served a warm drink along the way and able to sit back and take in the wonderful views to either side and down the loch. Everything was thought out extremely well and we felt it was a super way to end our holiday in Glenfinnan. With only one other couple on the boat it did indeed feel like a personalised charter. We would highly recommend this two hour cruise as it was informative, scenic and very relaxing. Good to be away from the crowds and able to appreciate this special Loch and it’s history.

Definitely do it! - What a fantastic boat trip. The captain and crew were so welcoming and informative. Nothing was too much trouble. The scenery is superb. Blankets and binoculars provided with lots of information on the way. Harry potter steam train and hogwarts site kept the kids very happy. A fantastic boat trip I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience, well worth it. - Very good experience. The guide was very kind and come back for us because we were late 2 minutes. We had fantastic weather and lucky enough to spot deer and gold eagle. Well worth it.

Boat ride for viewing wildlife is a hit or miss. Be on time for the train. - We were running late so called in advance to let them know. They were understanding and friendly on the phone. Was told that they must leave 10.40 sharp as they will miss the Harry Potter steam train otherwise. I wasn't aware of this so don't make the same mistake. Give yourself ample time to get there well before time. Nevertheless, Ali, our captain, kindly came back for us and allowed us to come on board. The boat ride itself was okay. We weren't so lucky with the wildlife. All we saw were some cows on the waterside. No red deers or eagles. Quite disappointing really. Just our luck I guess. There were binoculars and blankets available which was great. Commentary was informative. We still managed to see the train by going to view it from the viaduct. This was only a short walk away. Made up for missing it on the boat ride.

Let down - First off don't be fooled by the pictures showing the Jacobite train going over the viaduct. It's either been enlarged or a telescopic lens used. The viaduct is quite a distance from the loch. We booked and paid for this trip a good week before going and wasn't advised that the company would be closing for the season on the 11/10/23. We arrived at the meeting place before time, it's a good walk from the car park, took us about 7 - 10 mins as there was no signs of the hotel we needed to find, where we were told by another party that there was a delay of 20 minutes. After half an hour a man from one of the nearby houses asked if we were waiting to go on the trip, we said yes and had been waiting a while. He kindly offered to phone the guy who was supposed to be running the trip. He came back after 10 mins. approximately to say that the trip was cancelled due to the operator closing down for the season the day before 11/10/23. If it hadn't been for this person making a phone call I doubt the operator would have advised any of us the trip had been cancelled. After contacting Tripadviser our refund was quickly dealt with, within a few days
