What To Expect
Virpazar
Leave the old fishing village of Virpazar through a narrow little canal enclosed with willows and reeds. Head left, under the bridge, and discover the remains of the centuries-old fortress Lesendro. Observe cormorants, herons, gulls, coots, and kingfishers - among many others. Challenge your luck and look for the pelicans - these rare birds are at the official Lake Skadar National park logo.
Known as Bishops' Sorrow, this fortress carries a profound historical legacy, dating back to the reign of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, a prominent figure in Montenegro's past. Strategically positioned, it once served as a safeguard against potential enemy threats. Today, Lesendro and its surroundings draw birdwatching enthusiasts to its diverse ecosystem. Cormorants, herons, and gulls are just a glimpse of the vibrant birdlife awaiting discovery.

Our Awesome Mistake!

5.00This boat tour was such a unique experience! Thinking we had booked a standard group tour, we were very surprised to learn that it was accidentally booked as a private tour...and we are so glad about our mistake! Having Daniel, our guide, all to ourselves enabled us to have great conversations with him. Not only did we learn about the lake, history, and unique wildlife, but also a lot about his life and the culture and traditions of Montenegrin people. We had a great time on this tour!
Magical boat trip

5.00We had the best time on our boat tour with Alex and Nicolai , who were so friendly , pointed out interesting nature and historical facts for us. The scenery throughout the whole trip is honestly out of this world. We would a hundred percent recommend this experience!!
Beautiful lake but terrible guide….

3.00Lake Skadar is beautiful and worth the trip from the port. We enjoyed being out on the water in a wooden boat but unfortunately our guide spent most of his time on his cell phone. It was more like a boat ride rather than a "tour" - and we had to ask questions and then he would answer but rarely did he give us any information about the NP or the area on his own. That was really disappointing especially after paying more for a private tour.
Best day ever

5.00Absolutely brilliant trip! Our guide Alex and the captain were very professional and good fun. There are so many boat companies to choose from in Virpazar - I would recommend this one definitely. We also did the 2 hour bird watching tour which was very good and the captain took us to different parts of the lake that we hadn't seen the day before.
