Loch Arkaig

Private group tours up Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain with a fully qualified local mountain guide.

A stunning 9km / 5.5 mile forest walk following the winding Water of Nevis to the dramatic Steall Falls. The route meanders through the rocky Nevis Gorge and opens to the panoramic landscape of Glen Nevis. Steall Falls is third highest waterfall in Scotland and cascades 105 meters down the rock face. In Gaelic it's called An Steall Bàn meaning "The White Spout". This iconic area is featured in two Harry Potter films. At the end of the walk, there's a wire rope bridge over the river for the adventurous! You'll walk with Trev, your friendly local guide. The path is a little rocky and muddy in places, so he's on hand to help if needed. Plus, he's always happy to take photos. Feel free to bring along a picnic if the weather is nice. A blanket can be provided. This is a family friendly walk for 13+ year olds that are comfortable with the distance and terrain. Please note that if it's not rained for a while, the waterfalls won't be flowing fast.

This Tour will get your fill of seeing amazing scenery from start to finish.  Locations that comes with 420 million years of geological changes is just one of the many places we have in store for you. Travel the Great Glen to view the 'Harry Potter Hogwarts Express' [Jacobite Steam Train] as it crosses the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct to 'Hogwarts'.  See the Monument on the other side on the banks of Loch Shiel which signifies the 1745 Jacobite Rising.  Explore Fort William and its quaint local shops, cafes and restaurants. We'll take you to Glencoe where an infamous tragic account of Clan battles struck. It was also where Hagrid's cottage was located. Please know that the Itinerary can change at any time due to unforeseen situations like Attractions private events, Operating hours of Exhibition Centres, etc. Rest assured that we can take you to other equally amazing alternative Attraction.

Exciting wildlife encounters porpoises, otters, seabirds and more (all sightings are of truly wild animals, so every trip is unique and will vary and wild life is NOT guaranteed) Stunning views of Ben Nevis from the Loch.
