Fun trip! - Excellent tour! I was pleasantly surprised that wine/water/juice was complimentary. Our guide was knowledgeable and super friendly. The water was warm and the scenery was outstanding. We even saw a few kingfishers.

Absolute beauty and tranquility - Absolutely beautiful. We did the 4 hour cruise, was a little worried it may be too long but it wasn’t. It was such a relaxed trip and perfect for the incredible surroundings. Two lovely swimming spots, a toilet on the boat, great captain, free unlimited drinks (soft and wine) and lovely do-noughts with local cheese, olives and honey. It really was a perfect day out. Amazing value for money and a unique and beautiful place.

A must do - Beautiful scenery a must if you are in the area. Our driver was great with lots of local knowledge. Download the Merlin Bird ID App (free) to tell you about the birds. We had a private tour which was great so we could get in and swim as a family but I did think it was a little pricey at €170

Wonderful Day on the Lake - My husband and I booked a private 4 hour boat tour of Lake Skadar with Kingfisher. The lake is incredibly beautiful with the lily pads, surrounding mountains and countless species of birds and is definitely a must see when you're in Montenegro! Our guide Ilija (I apologize if that is misspelled) was so friendly and knowledgeable of the area and had many interesting stories to share. Delicious pastries, honey, wine, and raki were provided. What a relaxing afternoon! Highly recommended!

Kingfisher is the king cruise ! - During 4 hours, boat trip in the "Amazonia" Skandar lac. A lot a different bird species (for instance ibis) and possibility to swim 2 times into the lake. Captain and her assistant provides drink and food during the cruise. Additional comments around history from the crew would have been appreciated.

Stunning lake - It’s stunning lake and would be perfect if you go private or with small group. Also I guess it’s better to go either in the early morning or to see sunset. Pelicans are only in Albanian side unfortunately.

to relax - We took a one-hour boat trip from Virpazar on Lake Skadar. Huge fields of water lilies, but unfortunately not in bloom in May. But it's a pretty nice trip if you love nature. We saw some cormorants, and if we were lucky we might have seen pelicans too.
