Embark on your journey in the picturesque village of Virpazar, where the serene beauty of Lake Skadar blends seamlessly with the charm of a traditional fishing community. Nestled in Montenegro’s renowned wine region, Virpazar offers an ideal balance of stunning landscapes and authentic local culture.

Surrounded by majestic mountains and crystal-clear waters, you’ll have the chance to enjoy exceptional wine tastings, breathtaking sunsets, and mouthwatering regional cuisine. Take a moment to soak in the rustic allure of Montenegro’s countryside before we set sail!

When you arrive, visit the Kingfisher information desk - our welcoming team will make your check-in simple and stress-free. We’ll take care of your vouchers, hand out tickets, and make sure everything is perfectly organized. Once you’re ready, it’s time to embark on your unforgettable Lake Skadar adventure!

Step aboard our classic wooden boat, moored at the quaint Virpazar river pier. Get ready to soak in breathtaking scenery as we gently cruise out of the channel, enveloped by Lake Skadar’s lush greenery.

Marvel at the dramatic Albanian mountain ranges, the formidable Accursed Mountains, and take in the sight of Vranjina, the closest island, standing tall over one of Southern Europe’s largest lakes. This magical voyage places nature’s splendor front and center, and it’s only the start of your adventure!

Head left and glide beneath the Tanki Rt bridge, where you’ll find yourself surrounded by enchanting meadows of water chestnuts blanketing the surface of Lake Skadar. The peaceful atmosphere soon unveils the magnificent Lesendro Fortress, an 18th-century landmark gracing the lake’s edge.

Also known as Bishops’ Sorrow, Lesendro boasts a rich history dating back to the era of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, a celebrated figure from Montenegro’s past. With its strategic location, the fortress once stood as a vital defense against enemy incursions.

Today, Lesendro and its picturesque surroundings attract birdwatchers from near and far. The area’s vibrant ecosystem is home to cormorants, herons, gulls, and a wealth of other birdlife just waiting to be discovered.

Experience the mesmerizing, Amazon-like wilderness of Montenegro as your journey takes you to three untamed islands. As we drift along, you’ll be captivated by the water’s surface, adorned with a beautiful blend of white and yellow lilies. Their deep green leaves enhance the scene, weaving a vibrant tapestry of colors that will stay with you long after your adventure ends. Make sure to bring your camera; these unforgettable views are perfect for sharing!

5

Seize the chance to plunge into the beautiful, deep-blue waters of Lake Skadar together! You’ll be swimming amidst breathtaking mountain scenery and the genuine charm of the Montenegrin countryside, a setting that truly leaves you in awe.

And the highlight? On our way back, you can relax with a glass of exquisite local wine, savoring those spectacular views one last time. Take a few moments to soak up the tranquil magic of the lake before we return to Virpazar.

Believe me, this is the kind of experience that lingers in your memory long after your journey ends!
