Tour information

Exploring the Caledonian Canal by bike is one of the best ways to experience the Great Glen and all it has to offer, that's why we've teamed up with our friends at Rockhopper and Scottish Canals to make it easy for you.

To fully appreciate all that this wonderful destination has to offer, this is an ideal activity to go at your own pace, soak up the scenery and get the family active outdoors. There's so much to see for children from exploring rocks by the water to spotting wildlife and insects and most of the cycling is very easy, flat terrain. Don't forget to stop for a pic-nic en route or even just to admire the total peace and tranquility of the area.

There's a whole host of cycle routes for you to explore close to the canal, and whether you're looking to go for a short lunch time cycle or for a full day adventure we have an option and cycle route to suit.
