Balmaha Boat Trips
One of the most enjoyable experiences of visiting Loch Lomond is a trip on the loch itself. Balmaha, with its beautiful bay, is the perfect place to get on a boat for a cruise or take a scenic ferry to another part of the loch.
The short crossing to Inchcailloch Island is from Balmaha Boatyard is a must-do, a trip to the unspoilt and magical island, which is part of The Loch Lomond Nature Reserve. The island is described as the Jewel in the Crown of the National Park.
The two pretty villages of Balmaha and Luss are connected via water busses; the journey is spectacular, passing many of Loch Lomond’s islands. If you’re in Luss, you must visit us in Balmaha, take the boat, come and have some lunch and then cruise back afterwards.
