Embark on a semi-private sightseeing boat tour of Lake Skadar, a natural wonder nestled between Montenegro and Albania. This 2-hour guided tour offers an unforgettable journey through the lake’s serene waters, rich history, and vibrant wildlife.
Begin your adventure by cruising through a lush river channel lined with willows and reeds, where the tranquil surroundings set the tone for the day. As you exit the channel, take in the spectacular views of Albania’s distant mountains and the striking Vranjina Island, with its twin peaks reaching toward the sky. Sail under a picturesque bridge and navigate through paths bordered by vast fields of floating water chestnuts.
Soon, you’ll encounter the atmospheric ruins of Lesendro Fortress, a historic site now serving as a haven for the lake’s birdlife. Breathe in the crisp, fresh air as you approach the lake’s confluence with the Morača River, a spot teeming with natural beauty.
One of the tour’s highlights is the enchanting area known as Amazonia, hidden behind three small islands. Here, you’ll find endless fields of vibrant water lilies, their emerald-green leaves floating gracefully on the water’s surface. Relax and savour the moment with a glass of local wine in hand, a perfect complement to the serene surroundings. The journey continues through a narrow passage flanked by marshy meadows and a rugged, steep coastline.
This path leads to the foot of Odrin Hill, home to the medieval Kom Monastery, a hidden gem in the swampy northwestern reaches of Lake Skadar. This historic monastery, known for its well-preserved frescoes, has stood the test of time and offers panoramic views from its terrace. After exploring the monastery and soaking in its rich history, the boat will take you back to Virpazar, the charming starting point of your journey.
Before concluding the tour, take the opportunity to swim in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Skadar, surrounded by its untouched natural beauty. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen and a hat to enjoy this unforgettable experience fully.
