Gaskan cruise - Golden Eagles!

4.9
(100 reviews)

2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

This cruise takes you on an adventure in to the wilderness.

Starting in the busy Glenfinnan area where we describe all the sights and detail the history of the village both old and modern. We soon whisk you off down the loch to the land of eagles, deer, Harry Potter landmarks and the home of the MacDonalds of Glenaladale.

Gaskan cottage was the home of well known naturalist Mike Tomkies for many years whilst he studied and wrote of the local wildlife, especially the eagles and wildcats there. It can only be accessed by boat or very long walk so this part of the loch is very serene and unspoilt.

This cruise returns to Glenfinnan jetty.
