Description
Discover Skadar Lake National Park in the most authentic way — aboard a traditional handcrafted wooden boat. Starting from Virpazar, the journey begins through the narrow channels of the River Crmnica, leading into the open waters of the lake.
After passing under the iconic railway bridge of the Belgrade–Bar line, you’ll witness the historic Lesendro fortress, restored in the 18th century by Petar II Petrović Njegoš. The cruise continues along the Morača River, passing the largest island on the lake — Vranjina.
Along the way, enjoy views of natural bird habitats, where you can see numerous bird species in their natural environment. Navigate through charming, narrow reed-carved canals that lead to vast fields of water lilies and lotus flowers during the warmer months — a truly enchanting sight.
The route includes circling three island groups – Mala and Velika Čakovica and Kamenik. On the return, your captain will stop in a peaceful area of the lake for a swimming break — the perfect way to refresh and connect with nature.
This cruise offers a unique balance of relaxation, scenic landscapes, and local tradition — perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and adventurers seeking an authentic Montenegrin experience.
