Inverie is only reachable by a 17-mile (27-kilometre) hike over mountainous terrain[1] or by a regular 7 mi (11 km) ferry from Mallaig.

It runs several times a day year-round with a second, competing ferry service, MV Western Isles, operating on weekdays from the start of April to the end of October.

[5][1] The pub was closed from January 2023 to early August 2023 for renovations, and then re-opened for business,[6] and is now a community-operated public house.

[7] A few bed and breakfasts compete with rental lodges, cottages, and a campsite for tourists' patronage throughout the year.

Knoydart Lodge and the Hide opened as luxury accommodation in the 21st century, and there is a shop and a meal caterer.
