Description
Experience the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Skadar with our two-hour private guided sightseeing tour. Join us aboard a traditional wooden boat as we navigate narrow channels and savour the delicious local wine while your guide shares fascinating stories from the region.
Leave the old fishing village of Virpazar through a narrow little canal enclosed with willows and reeds. Head left, under the bridge, and discover the remains of the centuries-old fortress Lesendro. Observe cormorants, herons, gulls, coots, and kingfishers - among many others. Challenge your luck and look for the pelicans - these rare birds are at the official Lake Skadar National Park logo.
Pass near the Morača River - an International Birding Area and head for the three nearby islands. Gaze in awe as you glide through the hidden, narrow channels concealed with reeds and covered in lotus flowers (depending on the season) and their big, floating, dark-green leaves. Guess what - this is the perfect place for you to spot some nests and baby birds!
As you leave the wilderness behind, immerse yourself in the crystal clear waters of Lake Skadar, just before you return to Virpazar.
