For a quarter of a century, Loch Lomond Leisure has been helping visitors and locals enjoy one of Scotland's most famous stretches of water. The company, based in Luss, has been operating since 2001.

Its team believes that no visit to Loch Lomond would be complete without taking to the water. The loch is 23 miles long and up to four miles wide, dotted with islands rich in history and surrounded by magnificent scenery in every direction.

Loch Lomond Leisure caters for small and large groups, with a wide range of boat tours and activity packages to suit different budgets. Its options include speedboat tours with island visits, as well as hands-on activities for anyone who wants to explore under their own steam.

At Loch Lomond Shores in Balloch, the company also offers stand-up paddleboarding, pedal boats, canoes, boat tours and speedboat trips. During the October 2026 school holidays, Loch Lomond Shores highlighted the activities as a way for families to keep having fun on the loch even as the weather cools.

The company is open seven days a week at Luss during the season. Its paddlesports range covers canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, while boat hire, outdoor activities and island barbecues are also on offer. It also runs packages for stag and hen parties and corporate groups, from team building and staff away days to hospitality.

Paddleboards and canoes offer a gentler way to explore the shoreline under your own power, while the speedboat trips are a faster way to reach the islands and take in the views.

The company's summer season opened on Friday 3 April in 2026, and gift vouchers are available all year round, valid for 12 months, making a trip on the loch a popular present.

For Glaswegians looking to swap streets for scenery, a day on the water at Loch Lomond is a classic adventure close to home.

Loch Lomond Leisure operates from Luss and Loch Lomond Shores. Tours, activities and vouchers can be booked at lochlomond-scotland.com.
