Full description

Depart from Virpazar and sail along a short and narrow river canal surrounded by rows of reeds and water willows. Pass left, under the nearby bridge and through a carpet woven of water chestnuts, and uncover the fortress Lesendro, the Key of Lake Skadar.

The ruins of this centuries-old fortress and its bird visitants will feast you with one of the most beautiful views of this National Park. Fresh air will flow through your body as you pass near the place where Lake Skadar meets its richest tributary, the Morača River.

After that, continue your journey in the direction of three islands – Mala and Velika Čakovica, and Kamenik. The right side of these islets, fringed by reeds and covered by water lily fields, will take your breath away.

Sights to follow will also satisfy your traveller’s thirst. As you pass through the picturesque fjord Pavlova strana, through the heart of the viewpoint that goes by the same name, your eyes will absorb the beauty. The rocky coast, with abandoned houses and small hidden docks, makes the perfect backdrop for your swim.

After the refreshing swim in Lake Skadar’s waters, the boat will head back to Virpazar.

An unforgettable experience

I would highly recommend the Kingfisher boat trips on Lake Skadar. We had a private 4-hour tour. The extremely knowledgeable captain Baki spoke impeccable English, and his pride for the national park shone through. He was patient whilst we watched eagles, pelicans, kingfishers and other birdlife. Stunningly beautiful scenery. Thank you for the delicious Montenegro donuts and honey and local wine. It is definitely a trip to remember!

Kingfishers are the best!

Our skipper, Dragan, was very, very friendly and unobtrusive. You could ask him anything; he even chased the spider off the board. The boat trip was super relaxing, and the nature was simply fantastic. Thank you very much.

Such a memorable tour on Lake Skadar

The views were amazing! The snack was delicious and the boat captain stopped and talked in detail about the places and animals.

We had an amazing trip and would always do it again!

The nature is outstanding, and our captain, Baki, was great fun. He gave us some interesting extra information on the area and entertained us as well as he could! 😀👍

Superb customer service!

After we could not go on the correct date, we could join the boat for 3 days after contacting Kingfisher. That was a new experience because we also made that trip last year. Unfortunately, the weather turned bad, and we had to return a little earlier. But that also produced extra beautiful pictures.

Amazing experience!

An absolute must when visiting Montenegro! Despite the rain and thunderstorms, we had a great trip and were well looked after by our skipper. Thanks very much!

Lovely nature and high-quality service.

Nature was stunningly beautiful! Very nice guide/captain, Baky!! He spoke excellent English and told us about the culture, nature, and history. We were also pleasantly surprised by the tasty gifts offered to us. We can definitely recommend Kingfisher!

A perfectly organized and professional company.

The views alone deserve five stars. Although the wind did not allow us to follow the planned itinerary, the guide helped us improvise, and we enjoyed the activity a lot.
