Kingfisher's Journey: From humble beginnings to providing lasting memories

Kingfisher was founded in 2005 by two long-time friends, Milo and Predrag. Back then, with just one small and old wooden boat, they started to show the world the hidden treasures of Lake Skadar. Since those humble beginnings, our team has grown into a trusted resource that has helped tens of thousands of people better enjoy their travels. We have made it our mission to provide you, our loved travellers, with the best possible experiences on Lake Skadar and to give you lasting memories.

FANTASTIC TOUR! The guy at the stand (between multiple stands) was very helpful and honest. He did some great recommendations (and not the most expensive) and we did most of them. The 6-hour tour was relatively cheap and very cool! We had a nice captain and took off whilst enjoying great views of amazing Lake Skadar. Besides, we saw a lot of birds like a kingfisher, a pelican, herons, seagulls and many more. We stopped twice for a swim and had an hour to eat at a restaurant at the end of the lake. Overall it was an amazing half-day in Skadar.

BEST TOUR IN THE AREA! Absolutely top rate! We had three teenage boys who wanted to kayak and we wanted a private boat tour. Excellent customer service. Fantastic tour with Dragan on the boat trip. Informative, helpful and friendly. They are really first-rate operators - highly recommended !!

BEST HOLIDAY TOUR EVER! We went with the 3hr boat tour, which included time to visit a Monastery and lake swimming - there were also complementary drinks (water and wine) as well as fresh Priganice (Montenegrin doughnuts). For the money you pay, this is the best value thing I've done on any holiday. Beautiful scenery, great wildlife. If you sit closer to the driver in the boat, he gives some really helpful commentary about the history and geography of the lake. Additionally, we had to check out of our apartment before we had the tour and the Kingfisher staff held our luggage for us before we were moving to our next destination - so easy and very helpful!

EVERYTHING PERFECT! We did a private tour in the morning and the nature was just stunning! We saw a couple of pelicans and enjoyed the boat cruise. Our guide Alexander was really nice and he spoke really good German so we could understand everything easily. The skipper and Alexander had no problem getting on the boat with us at 6 in the morning and both were still in a good mood. We got some free drinks and I would highly recommend a tour with Kingfisher Boat Cruises.

I consider a cruise on Lake Skadar a must during a visit to Montenegro. Extremely relaxing type of rest, beautiful views, contact with nature. A real wooden boat created an amazing atmosphere. Additional attractions were refreshments (donuts and wine) and the possibility of swimming in the lake.

Amazing experience. We had inconveniences to get to the tour's meeting point but the Kingfisher's team waited for us to be ready to join the group. We paid 4€ for the national park entry ticket. They've been extremely kind, the guide/captain was really qualified and available with everyone. The tour lasted about 3h15 and was composed by: monastery of Komp visit, lake's tour, the guide stopped during the tour to show us the different types of birds we met and left us time (20min) to have a swim in the middle of the lake. They gave us water, red wine and a traditional pastry. Very recommended experience with Kingfisher!

This tour is a must have if you plan on visiting Montenegro. Our tour guide was Slavko. He was very easygoing, kind and funny and told us funny/interesting stories out of his life in Montenegro. We saw many beautiful places, had good talks, food and alcohol tasting. The tour was totally worth the price

The cruise was amazing! I loved every second of it. Me and my girlfriend chose the 3h option and wow. Perfection, the local food and wine were delicious, and of course included in the cruise price! The views were magnificent, and the capitan of the ship was very friendly. Oh and he knew English and German. 100% recommendation for everyone!!!

As you turn off the M2 taking the P16 through Virpazar we had lots of people trying for our custom, we moved on over the stone bridge and parked on the road up the hill, very busy but only 5 mins walk back, restaurants less hectic. Kingfisher offered us as a group of 4 a wildlife/nature trip for 2 hours €60.00 on a boat, shared can be less (€10 each) on a larger crowded boat. Scenery is reminiscent of Vietnams waterways, we had a very varied route through narrow passages, water lily lined waterways and lots of birds. The pace is relaxed, little noise and wildlife tolerates the boat. Our guide was great and helpful with pointing out sights and species. We'll worth the money and completely safe. Afterwards we continued along the P16, great views of the lake with several viewpoints, furthest east one overlooked Albania, road is quite good, but wouldn't like to meet a camper van....
