Ben Lomond<\/p><\/div>The Loch Lomond water bus service is now up and running again for the summer and this year includes a morning sailing to Rowardennan aimed at walkers wanting to make an early start on Ben Lomond<\/a>. This service will leave Tarbet at 8.45am leaving plenty of time to climb the popular Munro before the last waterbus returns from Rowardennan. A new service linking Balloch and Luss will also be launched later this summer.<\/p>\n Fiona Logan, CEO of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park said, “We had a fantastic response to the introduction of regular daily water bus routes last year with over 11,000 people taking advantage of the service over the summer. This year, I\u2019m pleased that local operators have introduced new routes that link to the east side of the Loch. Increasing the accessibility of the National Park for our visitors is hugely important to us and the water bus is a great way to experience the varied landscape we have here. This year, we will also have our volunteer rangers on board some sailings to give visitors a personal experience of the loch and to offer their expertise on the best things to see and do in the Park.<\/p>\n The success of the waterbus has shown that there is a real demand for opening up the water for the thousands of visitors we have coming to the National Park every year. If you haven\u2019t already experienced arriving at your destination by boat, I would strongly recommend a trip out this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n Stuart Cordner, Cruise Loch Lomond added: \u201cThe Waterbus Service has been hugely successful in raising the profile of Loch Lomond and the range of activities that can be enjoyed by families and outdoor enthusiasts. Given the demand for the service Cruise Loch Lomond has committed to operating a daily service to the end of October.”<\/p>\n Places included in the water bus service are: Inversnaid, Luss, Tarbet, Balmaha, Inchcailloch and Rowardennan. The water bus service operates daily and is only forty-five minutes from Glasgow by train or bus.
