Discover the magical beauty of Lake Skadar with our two-hour guided sightseeing tour. Join us inside a traditional wooden boat as we travel along narrow channels and savour the delicious local wine while your guide reveals all the fascinating stories from the region.

  • Our journey begins in Virpazar, a charming fishing village just a short drive from Montenegro’s capital. Meet us at the Kingfisher’s information desk for check-in before we set sail.

Admire the stunning mountain ranges of Albania (so-called Albanian Alps) and Vranjina, the nearest island, as they tower over the lake’s crystal-clear waters.

The highlight of our journey is next. It awaits at Amazonia, where you’ll witness thousands of lush lotus leaves floating on the water. Here, you can take a photo or two and enjoy local wine, adding a special touch to your experience.

Wonderful boat trip and excellent wine!
It was an excellent relaxing tour to experience Lake Skadar and its beauty. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the different wildlife of the lake, and the charming local wines to try onboard were the nicest we had during our time in Montenegro.

Lovely afternoon out on Lake Skadar
It was a lovely little trip out. The town of Virpazar doesn't have much else to do, so make sure you book an appropriate time. The hosts were friendly, the views were lovely, and the guides were hospitable and informative. I highly recommend it!

Very chill and friendly, amazing value.
The trip was chill and relaxing, great for introspection and some pics. We saw a few fantastic-looking birds (I'm not an expert), and there was complimentary local wine to sip while enjoying the views (which, again, I value). Overall, it is a delightful experience and fantastic value for money.
