This extended Lake Skadar boat tour begins in Virpazar and adds a visit to the historic fishing village of Karuč. We first cruise past the remains of Lesendro Fortress and several small islands before entering narrow channels surrounded by reeds and lush vegetation. This quieter part of the lake, often called the “Amazon,” is known for its calm waters, birdlife, and untouched scenery.

Leaving the main routes behind, we continue toward Karuč, a small village set between hills and the lake. After arriving, we take a short 10-minute walk to a viewpoint above the village, where guests can enjoy the scenery, take photos, and learn more about the area.

Karuč is known for its many natural springs—around 54 in total—some reaching depths of over 50 meters, while the average depth of Lake Skadar is about 5 meters. The village was also the winter residence of Petar I Petrović Njegoš.

This tour combines the natural beauty of Lake Skadar with the history and quiet character of the region.

What To Expect

Karuc

Guests who choose my offer will have the opportunity to pass exactly 16km from Virpazar to Karuc, on the way they will pass many canals, see different species of birds, my favorite part of the lake (Amazon) and eventually reach the fishing village of Karuc. Where will we stop, get off the boat and climb together to the viewpoint from which there is a fantastic view of the village and the access channel, which hides secrets that people can only dream of. After my explanation and taking pictures of the guests at the viewpoint, we return to the boat and go along a completely different channel back towards Virpazar.
