Kingfisher: 20 years of guiding in Skadar Lake National Park

We booked the 3-hour Skadar lake boat trip to the Kom Monastery. The receptionist treated us very well and explained how the trip worked. Once on the boat, our guide, Bucky, was friendly and pleasant, with good English. It is an activity that I recommend, and it is reasonably priced. While we visited the different points of the lake, they gave us red wine, white wine from Montenegro, and some traditional Montenegrin sweets.

We reserved a private tour online and paid on arrival. I recommend the 3-hour tour to Kom Monastery for the beautiful panoramic view across Lake Skadar. Our tour guide, Peter, was incredibly friendly and welcoming - knowledgeable about the surrounding area and Montenegro. The free local wine and doughnuts to taste were a great extra. I’d recommend Kingfisher!

I highly recommend the Kingfisher to tour Skadar Lake! The best price (22.15€ per person including the entrance to the Skadar Lake National Park) for 2 hours and the friendliest experience. We got to swim and complimentary wine. The views were stunning, and it was such a calming experience!

The company is worth recommending. As suggested on the website, we booked the trip in advance; we were alone on the boat. The guide was very nice and communicative, with extensive knowledge about the National Park Lake Skadar. We highly recommend it!

We did the two-hour boat tour with the guide, Alex and Captain Nešo. Both were great, and Alex's information was interesting and informative and delivered with enthusiasm. Water, wine, and juice were offered on the boat. Parking was accessible nearby. The price was €22.15 for the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

The trip takes you through the fantastic scenery of the National Park Lake Skadar. Alex and Neso were excellent tour guides and shared interesting information about the area. I would definitely recommend it!

It's a great website with clear information, but even more important, it's just a great tour. It is a beautiful landscape with much information on the sights, history and birds we see. We went on a tour with Alex and Nešo; they were kind. The swimming was also excellent, and the water was at the perfect temperature. It is great to see the National Park Skadar Lake being protected like it is, and I can recommend this to everyone.

We paid €22.15 per person . Very friendly crew staff, especially the crew on the boat was excellent - praise to Alexander, who even excelled at his German. During the tour, he told a lot of interesting details about the surrounding area and created a pleasant atmosphere.

It is a highly recommended experience for a quiet tour with impressive views of Lake Skadar. The guide was very nice, he could be understood perfectly in English, and they invited us to wine from the region (red and white) and juices and water for whoever wanted it. The tour lasted just over 2 hours. One hour into the tour, they give you a little time to jump from the boat into the water to cool off.

We had a great experience and a lovely tour with the guide, Tina. She and our driver were pleasant and kind; we got some delicious traditional food, white/red wine and a tasting of cheese and olives. The trip wasn’t as long or short as it should have been, and even before going on the bout, the staff were very reliable and kind. Many companies make a tour on Lake Skadar, but there is no doubt that the Kingfisher is the best!

Alex and the captain were very friendly! There is always a touch of humour and interesting explanations about the environment, the border, the fauna, and the flora. The wine tasting was also delightful. Thank you for your good mood and this tour!

In September, the lilies on the lake were no longer entirely in bloom, but it was still a wonderful experience. We could take very nice photos along the way; the guide and captain were pleasant. Along the way, you can drink wine, water, or juice. We hebben meerdere ijsvogels gezien.

We did a 3-hour tour with Daniel (really nice and explained to us the wonders and curiosities of the enchanting place). They served the typical preganice (delicious!!!!) and wine/juice/water. It's truly a tour to recommend. During the tour, it is possible to take a refreshing swim in Skadar Lake.

Boating on Lake Skadar with wonderful young guides, Hristina and Stefan. Extremely pleasant, kind and informed. Lake Skadar is a heavenly piece of land with colourful flora and fauna. We recommend the boat tour to the medieval Orthodox monastery of Kom, located on a rock in the middle of the lake.

It is a charming and recommended tour of Lake Skadar by boat with Kingfisher. In the end, even with the spotting of a Kingfisher bird 👍😁. Thanks to the tremendous and hospitable guide, Alex and our captain.

The excellent customer service made everything easy; we arranged our tour details in advance via WhatsApp. We met our captain early the following morning, and he greeted us with fruit tea, blankets, binoculars, and bird-spotting books. Although they emphasised that they couldn't promise we would see the Dalmatian pelican, our captain used all his expertise to locate one, and he was successful! The early start and cold breeze were worth it. I would highly recommend this birdwatching boat tour to any keen bird spotters.

They are very professional people to deal with. We booked an extra hour when we boarded the private boat for 4, and they were flexible enough to let us do this. We had a lovely young boat captain who was most obliging: a lovely day, the highlight of our holiday in Montenegro. An unmissable experience! The lake is gorgeous with its bulrushes and lilies.

We took a 3-hour tour with our 10 and 12-year-old kids! Perfectly organised, genuine and friendly! The boat is traditional and has a shelter, so all passengers (12-14 people sitting comfortably) have shadows. The scenery is fantastic! The guide offered us local wine and some delicious typical breakfast snacks. Best of all is the friendliness and prompt answers before booking! Thanks, Milica and Philip (our driver). We will recommend you to all our friends!

We enjoyed our online booked private boat tour on the lake for 3 hours and extended it to 5 hours. The skipper, Philip, arranged everything perfectly and made the tour the best activity we enjoyed during our stay in Montenegro. Thanks to the kind team of Kingfisher for the smooth organisation.

My husband and I did the 6-hour tour on the third day of our trip, and we both loved it. Our guide, Baki, was excellent, constantly slowing down the boat when we passed by birds. It is a relaxing boat ride through a beautiful lake to a cute little village (River of Crnojevića) for lunch. Unfortunately, it started downpouring on our way back, but Baki did an excellent job keeping our spirits up, and the rain added another layer of beauty to the area. He served local wine and traditional Montenegrin breakfast as well.

My girlfriend and I had a great time on the tour today. Balša, our tour guide, was excellent and gave us some interesting facts about the lake and its wildlife. The monastery had great views across the lake. They fed us local wine and some doughnut / dumpling thing, which I don't remember the name of, but it was delicious. 10/10 would recommend. It's a shame it was too cold to get in the water then. Swing by the lovely Godinje wine region after, too.

Our trip was on July 9. Departure was at 11:30 am, returning around 6 pm, without delay. The guide served us drinks and warm homemade doughnuts "priganice" with honey! The route of the trip is lovely! There were two stops for swimming in the lake and a 1-hour stop in Rijeka Crnojevića, more than enough to explore this picturesque village. We liked our guide, Baki. His interaction with passengers is 10 out of 10. All the staff of Kingfisher were great from the beginning to the end!

We booked ahead on GetYourGuide, and it was very cheap: €32.15 for a 3-hour tour or €22.15 for a 2-hour tour. The boat was beautiful and nicely shaded. The friendly tour guide provided free water, juice, and wine during our time. The lake is gorgeous, with stunning vistas of the water and the surrounding hills and mountains. I cannot recommend enough!

Thank you so much for the humanity and friendship you gave us. Everything about the tips and the trip itself was understandable and clear. We, especially our one-year-old girl, were so pleased to have that excursion with you! Choose them, you won't regret it!

Baki was our friendly captain for this lovely and relaxing excursion. The best boat trips don't have endless commentary on events and locations, which we will forget almost immediately upon hearing, but allow you to relax and take in the beauty. Highly recommend.

My girlfriend and I did a private boat tour around the lake for 2 hours. The ship was very comfortable, with many spots from which you can take photos. We sailed through several attractive sites through the lake and saw many birds. Nature was astonishing. Ognjen was our skipper who did a great job navigating and explaining places, followed by an honest smile. He served us local wine and took 50 pictures of us with the best spots. Recommend this trip.

The 7 am bird-watching Skadar lake boat trip was a wonderful experience. Kingfishers, herons, pelicans. All from a lovely old wooden boat. Great captain and super staff.

Amazing views. Capitan Petar was very friendly and kind; he shared information about the lake. We also got to taste typical red and white wine and also got a snack. We also stopped near water lilies to take beautiful pictures. Almost at the end of the tour, we stopped in the middle of the lake and were able to go swimming for a few minutes. It was nice. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide welcomed us with exceptional local pastries. He was a thoughtful skipper willing to accommodate the high temps by stopping for dips in the cool water. Plenty of water and local wine and introduction to local plant and bird life. Highly recommended excursion.

We had a fantastic experience cruising the Skadar Lake with this company. The tour guide, Ana, was always ready to help with all kinds of stuff. She is also a great photographer! We recommend definitely!

It is an excellent relaxing tour to experience Lake Skadar and see its beauty. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the different wildlife of the lake. Charming local wines to try onboard - the nicest we had during our time in Montenegro.

We went for the 2-hour cruise in August, including a visit to the monastery. We enjoyed it; it was a reasonable amount of time to spend on the lake with great views. Staff were friendly and very organised.

We did a birdwatching tour for 3 hours. We set off very early and were the first boat out. The view of the lake was beautiful. We also saw various birds - pelicans, pygmy cormorants, golden orioles, bee-eaters and many more. Our captain was knowledgeable and friendly.

We did a tremendous private 3-hour tour to Pavlova Strana. Our skipper, Dragan, was excellent, and the owner was friendly and helpful. The lake was beautiful, and the boat was comfortable. Leaving at 9 am meant there were very few other boats on the lake simultaneously.

I missed my first tour, but the lady was kind enough to put me on the next. It didn't include Kom Monastery, but it was worth it. The tour guide was highly professional and knowledgeable. He provided wine and also picked water chestnuts from the lake for us to try. Overall, I am delighted with my experience. I would recommend going with them.

Unforgettable experience! A beautiful view with the national dish, priganice and wine! Balsa, our tour guide, was a kind and pleasant host! All recommendations! 10/10

It was a delightful trip for about 3.5 hours. We had great views of the lake's northwest side (from Virpazar). It is a very reasonable price. Would recommend.

It is a lovely, long, and relaxing boat trip that gives you time for lunch at a monastery village. We saw pelicans, grebes and herons, and the beautiful water lilies. They also gave us snacks and wine on the boat. I highly recommend booking with Kingfisher!

We got some wine and what seemed like homemade cakes of some sort. The captain included some facts on the tour and even took photos of us. Would go again!

I went for the 2-hour Skadar Lake tour, and it was terrific. The staff is amiable, and I highly recommend this experience. It is a must when in Montenegro!

We stopped only for the shorter two-hour boat ride as we had to continue to the airport, but it was well worth it. On their way to Africa, you will see a unique bird nesting reservation, a stopover point for migrating birds from northern parts of Europe. I would take the extended cruise to see some historical monasteries alongside the lake the next time I come.
