Best of the Highlands

During this unique tour, you will enjoy a leisurely drive through the picturesque countryside of the Highlands with its rolling green hills and charming towns nestled in the valleys. Head to Moray Firth, a triangular inlet of the North Sea that is famous for its 130 resident bottle-nose dolphins, sightings cannot be guaranteed every visit. Also, on hand are a variety of other wildlife including harbor seals, otters, and ospreys. If you're lucky you might get to see the occasional killer whale further out from shore.

On this Highlands excursion, you will also get to taste some of the Famous Highland Malt Whiskies. The Highland Malts are characteristically heavier and drier than in other regions and may have some salty notes thanks to their proximity to the sea.

No Highlands excursion would be complete without a cruise up the famous Loch Ness! This loch (lake) has a depth of 755 feet, making it the largest loch by volume in the British Isles. Keep an eye out for Nessie, the legendary Loch Ness Monster!

While on the water pass by Urquhart Castle and discover its role in the Wars of Scottish Independence. This 13th century structure went on to house royalty and then was partially destroyed to prevent its use by opposing forces.

This tour is the perfect introduction to the flavors and sights of the famed Scottish Highlands.
