We offer pickup from any hotel or accommodation in Inverness or the surrounding area, as well as from the cruise ship port in Invergordon.

For cruise ship passengers, once you disembark, please follow the pedestrian route towards Invergordon town centre. As you exit the service base, you will come to a pedestrian crossing. Please cross the road, where I will be waiting for you. It typically takes around one hour for the ship to dock and for passengers to disembark.

There are usually several guides and guests in this area, but I will be holding a board with your name for easy identification. From there, we will take a short walk of approximately 200 yards to reach the vehicle. At the end of your tour, I will drop you back at the same point, allowing you to make your way easily back to the ship.

Please note that if you are arriving by cruise ship, your tour will be tailored to your ship’s schedule. We will plan to return at least one hour before the scheduled departure time to ensure a relaxed and stress free return.
