What To Expect
Virpazar
Venture on a peaceful and stunning journey into the beauty of Lake Skadar by starting your sightseeing cruise in the delightful fishing village of Virpazar. Depart from the village harbour and glide down a tranquil river canal, surrounded by swaying reeds and willows, fully immersing yourself in the region's natural splendour. Situated on the shores of Lake Skadar in Montenegro, Virpazar is a picturesque village surrounded by stunning mountain ranges, lush green forests, and crystal-clear waters. Its scenic boat tours, traditional cuisine, and rustic architecture make it a popular destination. Bird watching, hiking, and wine tasting are popular activities, as it is located in the heart of Montenegro's wine region. This charming destination is perfect for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in the natural beauty and tranquillity of the Montenegrin countryside.
Vranjina
As you exit the tranquil river canal, you will be greeted with a breathtaking sight of the distant Albanian Alps and Vranjina Island. The island stands proudly, emerging from the sparkling waters of Lake Skadar, which is one of the largest lakes in Southern Europe. The view is magnificent, with the mountains towering in the distance and the island's beauty adding to the stunning natural landscape. Take a moment to fully appreciate the view before continuing on your sightseeing cruise, as this vista is one of the highlights of the Lake Skadar experience.

5.00Nice trip, we weren’t that many people compared to the size of the boat. 4 hours were perfect. 2 swimming stops, the water was impressively warm. The guide was friendly and not in a professional, I have to be friendly and happy, but in a true, real way. We got wine, water and juice to drink, and we could get as many cups as wanted, as long as there were more. We also got some pastry and made a stop to get some plants up from the water, which we could taste. Very nice trip.

5.00Such a special day. Baki the captain guided us through the most beautiful of scenery, pointing out wildlife as we went. We were so lucky to see so much wildlife including pelicans, eagles and a kingfisher. Baki was so friendly and spoke amazing English, thanks also for the delicious Montenegro donuts, cheese and honey and local wines. The national park and lake Skadar are just stunning, beautiful scenery you won't forget.

4.00During 4 hours, boat trip in the "Amazonia" Skandar lac. A lot a different bird species (for instance ibis) and possibility to swim 2 times into the lake. Captain and her assistant provides drink and food during the cruise. Additional comments around history from the crew would have been appreciated.
Absolute beauty and tranquility

5.00Absolutely beautiful. We did the 4 hour cruise, was a little worried it may be too long but it wasn’t. It was such a relaxed trip and perfect for the incredible surroundings. Two lovely swimming spots, a toilet on the boat, great captain, free unlimited drinks (soft and wine) and lovely do-noughts with local cheese, olives and honey. It really was a perfect day out. Amazing value for money and a unique and beautiful place.
