Description
Your tour will begin from Kotor, from where you will pass Jaz beach, Budva, and Sveti Stefan Island to reach Skadar Lake. As you arrive to Virpazar, a small town on the coast of Skadar Lake, you’ll enjoy a boat ride with snacks on the boat (consisting of local pastries with honey and some non-alcoholic drinks).
Your guide will then explain to you everything about the importance of this area for wildlife, as it is protected by the RAMSAR Convention as one of the most important wetlands of Europe. The primary reason behind this protection is the fact that over 250 bird species are nesting in this location.
The scenery of the lake is beautiful, which includes a big part of the lake which is covered with water lilies and reeds. Throughout your tour, you will also pass small islands with abandoned fortresses on top of them. Following your boat ride you’ll drop by the visitor center to see an exhibit about Montenegrin wildlife. After this, your next stop will be a small local winery where you'll get the chance to see vineyards and a wine cellar. You'll learn about wine preparation, and will also have a tasting of 4 different kinds of wine and 5 different kinds of local fruit brandy. Following that, you'll return back to Kotor.
