Join Aleman for a private cruise tour from Invergordon Port.
Your day can include Loch Ness, castles, coastal views, and Highland villages. It can also include whisky related stops, photo stops, and local stories along the way.
The route is planned around your cruise ship time. You will have a clear meeting point at the port and return before your ship leaves.
Your cruise stop in Invergordon gives you time to see some of the best places within reach of the port. If you are looking for an Invergordon shore excursion that feels private and relaxed, I can help. Your day will be planned carefully so you can make the most of your time ashore.
With Friendly Highland Tours, your day is private. You travel with me in comfort. I know the roads, timings, viewpoints, and good places to stop. Some groups want a full day with several stops. Others prefer a calmer route with more time for photos, lunch, and local places.
Your route can be planned around the option that works best for your group. You can book one of my planned Invergordon Port tours. You can also speak with me before booking if you would like to adjust the route.

Aleman’s tip:
Tell me what matters most before booking. I will help plan a route that works with your ship time.
This may include adjusting the route or adding a photo stop. It may also include a whisky related stop, a lunch break, or more time at one place.
Please arrange this with me before the tour is booked. This gives me time to check distances, opening times, and what can work within your cruise schedule.
Some places may need advance booking. This can include castles, whisky distilleries, and other paid visitor attractions. Adding one stop may mean removing another. I will explain this clearly before your tour is confirmed.
Aleman’s tip: If one place matters most, mention this early. I can then help plan the day around that stop.

Hello, I am Aleman. I moved to the Highlands over 30 years ago. This place quickly became home. The scenery felt special from the start. The history and warm people made it even more memorable. Sharing the Highlands with visitors has become one of my greatest passions. Every tour is planned with care, local knowledge and a friendly welcome.
Here are a few common questions travellers often ask before their Invergordon Cruise Tours. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to call or message Aleman, he’s always happy to help plan your day.
The South Loch Ness tour works well for Loch Ness, castle views, and classic Highland scenery. The North Highland tour is suited to coastal views, quieter places, local towns, and castle scenery. The Big Adventure tour is a varied day with scenery, nature, stories, and photo stops. If the best option is not clear, send me your ship time and group size. I will help work out the right route.
Getting you back in good time is the priority. The day is built around your ship and I leave a comfortable buffer before departure. You will not be left rushing at the end.
Please phone or email Friendly Highland Tours as soon as the arrival time changes. I will check the time available and adjust the route where possible. Some stops may need to be shortened or removed.
You are protected. If the ship is unable to dock for any reason that is not your fault, you receive a full refund. Just let me know as soon as you can.
Entry fees, distillery fees, meals, and personal spending are not included. Bottles of water are included during the tour. If a paid attraction is important, speak with me before booking. Some places may need advance booking.
Walking depends on the tour and the stops selected. Many stops are suitable for short walks and photos. Some attractions or viewpoints may involve more walking. Tell me before booking if anyone in the group has mobility concerns. I can explain which route may work best.
My own vehicle seats up to 8. If there are more of you, get in touch. I will look into arranging a second vehicle or driver so the whole group can travel together.
Send me your cruise details and I will help you plan the right day from Invergordon Port.
