  2. Virpazar
    10m
    Join us inside our traditional wooden boat docked at the small Virpazar river pier. Prepare for beautiful views as you glide out of the channel, surrounded by the lake's rich vegetation.

    Admire the stunning mountain ranges of Albania - The Accursed Albanian Mountains and Vranjina, the nearest island, as they tower over one of Southern Europe's largest lakes. It's a magical journey where nature's beauty takes centre stage, and this is just the beginning!
  3. 30m
    Navigate left, pass under the Tanki Rt bridge, and be embraced by the enchanting meadows of water chestnuts spread all over the top of Lake Skadar. The serene ambience will soon reveal the stunning Lesendro, an 18th-century fortress gracing the lake's shores.

    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.
  4. 30m
    Discover the enchanting amazonian nature of Montenegro as you continue your tour to three wild islands. As we glide along, you’ll notice the water covered in a stunning mix of white and yellow lilies. Their dark green leaves add to the magic, creating a tapestry of colours you’ll remember long after the tour. Don’t forget your camera - this is a view you’ll want to share!
  5. Skadar Lake National Park
    40m
    Take your opportunity to dive into Lake Skadar’s gorgeous deep-blue waters together! You’ll be swimming surrounded by the most incredible mountain views and that authentic Montenegrin countryside charm that just takes your breath away.

    And here’s the best part - on our way back, we’ll sit back with a glass of delicious local wine while you soak in those stunning views. Take a moment to just breathe in all that peaceful lake magic before we head back to Virpazar.

    Trust me, it’s exactly the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave!
