      What you can expect

      Experience a full-day Highland adventure, from the dramatic Glen Coe to the legendary Loch Ness where you can search for Nessie by boat or along the shores. Take in Scotland’s iconic landscapes, rich history, and maybe even spot mighty Ben Nevis along the way!

      Leaving the capital behind, we travel north, passing the mighty stronghold of Stirling Castle before venturing into the breathtaking landscapes of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, a land of shimmering lochs, rugged hills, and tales of the outlaw Rob Roy. Crossing the vast wilderness of Rannoch Moor, we make our way to the dramatic Glen Coe, where towering peaks and haunting history combine in one of Scotland’s most awe-inspiring locations.

      Our adventure continues through Fort William, with views of Ben Nevis, Britain’s tallest mountain, before we follow the path of the Great Glen to reach Fort Augustus, nestled on the shores of Loch Ness. Here, you’ll have time to take a cruise across the mysterious waters, explore scenic trails, or unwind by the tranquil Caledonian Canal.

      Heading south, we journey past the shimmering expanse of Loch Laggan before climbing into the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, crossing the wild and remote Drumochter Pass. Entering Perthshire, we travel through a landscape of ancient forests, rolling rivers, and towering peaks. The final stretch of our adventure takes us over the Firth of Forth, where you’ll catch sight of the iconic Forth Bridges, before we return to Edinburgh in the evening full of memories from an incredible day in the Highlands!
