If you are heading for the ferry over to the Isle of Skye, please come back to the bus - your guide will be telling you all the relevant times as you come off the bus.

There are many cafes and restaurants to enjoy such as the Cornerstone, the Tea Garden Cafe, the Bakehouse, the Cabin, Crab and Creel, the Fishmarket Deli, Bloom and Graze and the Scot Mid supermarket.

Take a stroll along the waterfront - if you have time before the ferry or departing, you can also do a circular loop above the town - look for maps in Mallaig or ask the guide or a local. It will take approximately 45 minutes for the loop.

If you are on the cruise ship - please follow the guide down to the Clansman harbour (using the passage under the road) and they will get your ticket and you into the queue for the cruise. There is a cafe, toilets and both indoor and outdoor seating on the boat.

If you are not on the cruise ship, you can still get tickets for the cruise if you want to go. If not, you can walk down to the banks of Loch Ness, head to the cafe and souvenir shop inside the hotel for some food or walk above the loch via the path at the back of the car park - it is steep uphill but you get some lovely views of Loch Ness.
