I cannot put into words how amazing this tour was. Our guide (I can't remember his name) was so lovely and knowledgeable. He's been doing boat tours on the lake for 10 years and gives interesting facts as well as anecdotes of growing up on the lake. He answered all and any questions as well as just casual conversation. Lots of birds to see including Herons, Bee-eaters and Pelicans. The natural beauty is stunning. We had been provided with binoculars to share and our guide knew each bird well. We stopped for a swim at a small beach for a swim, which was divine on a 35 degree day. The boat is covered so you do get shade, plus there is water and juice available but I would say always bring your own as well. Although we were booked for a 3 hour trip we were actually on the water for 3.5hrs. The organisation was so good and the people were lovely and helpful. For those with accessibility needs - There are steep stairs down to the boat and you have to climb on and out the boat.

We were very happy to have joined the 3 hour tour instead of the 2 hour version that everyone else does, as it meant a different itinerary than all the other boats, making us feel like we had the lake to ourselves. We had a great time, seeing many pelicans and other birds, and had a lovely swim to cool off in the heat. We can only recommend going on this tour with Vladimir as your guide!

Full description

Join us for a relaxing boat tour of Lake Skadar, where we combine nature and history in a unique way!
We’ll start with a refreshing cold drink from our captain while cruising through narrow canals and fields of water lilies. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings while listening to some extraordinary bird noises. You may spot water lilies and rare birds such as Dalmatian Pelican. We’ll then head toward Grmožur Island, known as "Montenegro's Alcatraz." Once a prison, the island now stands as an important historical site. Our captain will share its fascinating history while you observe birds that have made it their home. Next, we’ll navigate the Morača River, Montenegro’s largest river, home to beautiful kingfishers and various other bird species. As we move deeper into the lake, we’ll slowly enter nature's heart—a network of narrow, untouched canals accessible only by smaller boats. A small photo break is a must! From there, we’ll cruise past tiny, untouched islands called Mala and Velika Čakovica, and Andrijska Gora. These hidden corners of the lake are peaceful, untouched, and filled with wildlife. After exploring the islands, we’ll continue through the open waters of the lake, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife.
At one point, we’ll stop for a refreshing swim in the lake’s calm waters, a perfect chance to cool off and fully experience the beauty of Skadar Lake.
Finally, we’ll wrap up the tour by heading toward the entrance of Rijeka Crnojevića’s canals, a serene way to end your journey.

We had a fantastic time! Our guide was a local and shared lots of interesting facts about the lake, the local wildlife, and Montenegro’s history and culture. I’ve been to Montenegro many times, and I can honestly say – if you’re ever around the skadar lake, you’ve got to do this tour! Would definitely recommend!
