Description
Start your day with a unique experience - bird-watching at Lake Skadar National Park! Let our expert guides, who know the hidden paths of these magnificent creatures, lead you through them. Watch in awe as the birds gracefully soar through the sky, their triumphant sounds echoing in the tranquil morning.
Begin your journey in Virpazar - the townlet on the shores of Lake Skadar. Climb aboard your čun - the traditional wooden boat this area is known for. Sit back and enjoy the calmness as we lead you through the paths where birds like to 'hang out'.
Put on your binoculars to better observe the birds - watch them closely as they soar through the waking sky or dive deep into the lake's waters to catch their breakfast or lunch. Hear the stories the lake hides and learn about its unique ecosystem that attracts a large variety of birds.
Depending on the season, you can spot a variety of bird species - black cormorants, gulls, coots, kingfishers, herons, eagles, terns, and a range of ducks. The dalmatian pelican, a symbol of the lake, is a perfect ambassador. It's a thrilling challenge to spot, but with a bit of luck, we often succeed!
