Itinerary
Your adventure begins in beautiful Virpazar, where Lake Skadar's natural beauty meets a charming fishing village! Settled in Montenegro's wine region, this village offers the perfect mix of natural wonders and local culture. Surrounded by breathtaking mountains and pristine waters, you'll discover amazing wine tastings, stunning sunsets, and delicious local cuisine. Take time to explore Montenegro's countryside charm before we set off! Find us at Kingfisher's information desk where our friendly team makes check-in effortless. We'll handle your vouchers, provide tickets, and ensure everything runs smoothly. Then it's time to sail into your incredible Lake Skadar experience!
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!
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.
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!
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!

We booked a boat trip with kingfisher the tour guide was Andrea with his dad as captain. She was great, very lovely to our children. There was plenty of drinks available. I liked the local wine. We had seen great places. A big shout out to the both of tour guides
Stunning lake and scenery! Relaxing boat ride with guide who talked about the birds and the nature. The boat was shaded and not too crowded.
It was one of the most peaceful, calming activities of our trip. So many beautiful birds and funny, smart, kind local guide born in Virpazar.
A pure poetic moment in very beautiful landscapes. Thanks to Andréa and her dad for welcoming and guiding us so well. The swimming spot in addition to the photo spots was highly appreciated! Choose the earliest time slots to avoid the highway effect...
Fun little 2 hour exploration. Bucky with Kingfish BoatTours was our guide, and he made it the best experience!
We had a wonderful boat trip yesterday! The captain was fantastic, and the whole staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always willing to assist. The views were absolutely breathtaking, making the experience even more special. We highly recommend this boat tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a great boat tour!
Really bad experience. When you come to the village where most boat trips start from, you are basically attacked by energetic sellers who try to negotiate the price of the boat trip like a worst kind of horse dealer. It doesn't feel honest! We were offered a tour for 60 euros per person but when we repeatedly said it sounded expensive, the price was reduced to 30 euros per person in a private boat. The arguments for going private boating were said to be that it smells and sounds a lot on the joint tours which sounds very strange. If you come from Sweden, you can find lakes that are far more beautiful than this.
Dear Sofia, I am so sorry you had a bad experience on Lake Skadar. However you have left the review on a wrong company profile (Kingfisher), not the one you went with. The prices you have mentioned aren't ours. Our prices are clearly displayed everywhere (on our website and other sales channels) and our prices are clearly displayed on our info desk as well. We do not negotiate. Please remove your review as soon as possible and contact us if you need help in finding with which company you went with.
Very good experience and a lot of nice birds with tour guide Alex
Baki and Alex were amazing and really kind! They respected the nature and were funny so everyone was smiling and having a lot of fun. We had really great time and would love to come back someday.
Alex and Yugo are the best team ;-)
