Our birdwatching tours, offered at 6:45 AM and 9 AM, provide you with the perfect opportunity to explore this magnificent ecosystem during the most active times of the day.
Climb abroad your čun – the traditional wooden boat this area is known for. Sit back and enjoy the calmness as we lead you through the paths where birds like to “hang out”. Admire them as they soar through the sky and enjoy their victorious sound.
Lake Skadar’s diverse landscape of swamps, forests, and rocky shores creates a haven for an impressive variety of bird species. As we quietly explore secluded reed beds and tranquil inlets, you’ll have the chance to observe and photograph an array of birdlife. Depending on the season, you might spot agile Pygmy Cormorants diving for fish, elegant Purple Herons stalking their prey, or Whiskered Terns performing acrobatic flights over the water’s surface.
Dalmatian Pelicans are the symbol of the lake and a perfect ambassador. This one is hard to see, but let us check our luck – it’s often on our side!
While we prioritize the welfare of all birds and never disturb nesting areas, our tours offer excellent opportunities to witness the lake’s thriving ecosystem. Your guide will help you identify various species and share insights into their behaviours. As a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, Lake Skadar is crucial in supporting resident and migratory bird populations.
