Cruising Holidays with activities on the Caledonian Canal

Activities

There are endless possibilities for activities on our holidays including walking, biking, canoeing, paddleboarding, sailing and swimming. During the week’s cruise you can explore the lochs (including Loch Ness of course), rivers and tracks, all with amazing scenery and our friendly and experienced Activity Guide to offer advice or lead the activity.


You can be as active as you choose but we mustn’t forget the relaxing option as well – a very popular activity! Our theme weeks add even more variety,
