Half-day Skadar Lake Cruise Tour in Virpazar, Montenegro

Explore Skadar lake, especially the area of small fisherman's village and  the river of Crnojević with the breathtaking fjord Pavlova strana.

First, you will cruise towards the 18th Century fortress of Lesendro. You will see breathtaking scenery with birds, especially cormorants and seagulls, but if you are lucky enough, you will get to see pelicans as well. They love drying their wings on top of her walls, with the beautiful mountain of Vranjina and light blue sky in the background.

After cruising near the fortress of Lesendro you will proceed inside the small and narrow channels that are surrounded by, as we like to call them, carpets of water lily flowers and reeds. This area is often called the 'safari' part of the lake. In this area, if you are lucky enough, you will have the chance to even see some nests and baby birds.

The boat will then cruise around three beautiful islands - Small Cakovica, Big Cakovica, and Lipovnjak. The boat will then proceed inside the breathtaking fjord Pavlova Strana, which is considered to be the most beautiful place on Skadar lake. It will lead you to an old fisherman's village called the river of Crnojević. Over there, you will have around an hour to explore the village. 

On the way back, the boat will stop at a place surrounded by open water and rough coast, and you will have extra time provided for swimming, so be sure to bring your swimsuit.
