It was breathtaking!
A wonderful trip! The local guide explained where to paddle and showed me the best route with the beautiful water lilies on a map. I was even able to keep the kayak longer than I had booked. The whole team was so friendly and helpful. I recommend kayaking if you want a peaceful experience on Lake Skadar.

Two hours are enough to take a nice stroll along the water and even enjoy a little swim. We highly recommend this activity!

Fantastic experience and customer-friendly business
The tour was incredible. The team explained everything in detail and showed us an extra way to kayak. We could even prolong the tour for up to three hours without additional costs. There are several beaches where we stopped to take a swimming break. I definitely would recommend it.

Friendly and helpful Kingfisher team and beautiful nature
Welcoming and helpful people, beautiful place, especially the first part. The main lake was quite choppy and hard work for us, so we didn't make it to the islands but could see from a distance! They gave us an extra hour to try! Worth the money!
