Nestled between the mountains and the lake's shimmering waters, Virpazar offers breathtaking scenery and a unique opportunity to explore the region's rich cultural and natural heritage. The village is known for its traditional architecture, cobbled streets, and colourful houses that reflect the local way of life. And the best part? This idyllic retreat for adventure-seekers and nature enthusiasts is just a half-hour drive from Podgorica, Montenegro's capital. Our dedicated team member will handle everything once you arrive at Kingfisher's information desk. They will validate your reservation vouchers and guide you seamlessly through the following steps.

Virpazar
Depart from Virpazar's pier tucked inside a traditional wooden boat, and glide along a small river canal lined with rustling reeds and willows. You'll be surrounded by nature's embrace, promising a captivating journey through this idyllic heaven. As you leave the river canal, a beautiful sight of the distant Accursed Mountains - The Albanian Alps will greet you. The neighbouring island Vranjina boldly emerges from the glistening waters of one of Southern Europe's largest lakes.

5.00We took the 3hr trip to Kom monastery. It was the most peaceful trip I've ever been on, it was heavenly. Our guide pointed out various things on route, had warm donuts for us as we boarded (hubby loved that!) and looked after us well. We had plenty of time to swim in the lake on the return leg, the lake was surprisingly very warm. We had a great trip and would definitely recommend
A nice trip (that costs 5 euro more what they say)

5.00The tour was really good, the guide prepared and warmy person. He offered us water, wine, juice and delicateness. We had a great swim, visited a church and the lake in 3 hours. The only thing is that it is not written that you need to pay 5 euro more when you go there. This is not really transparent but the trip is absolutely worthy.
