Amazing views, fun tour guide, lots of wine - Me and my girlfriend went on the 3 hour tour starting from 4pm. We chose this time because we wanted to see the Sun setting on the lake and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Amazing views, great atmosphere and lots of wine. Our guide Petr was informative, fun and had great energy. We saw lots of birds, the monastery, and we dipped in the lake too. The whole boat had an amazing time, we actually decided to go out for dinner after the tour almost all of us. The company is very professional and well organized. Literally the only downside of the tour that I can think of is that smoking on the boat is allowed which is kind of disappointing. Highly recommend the tour and perhaps the 3 hour option if you have the time, because there is just so much to see. Loved every minute of it!

A nice trip (that costs 5 euro more what they say) - The tour was really good, the guide prepared and warmy person. He offered us water, wine, juice and delicateness. We had a great swim, visited a church and the lake in 3 hours. The only thing is that it is not written that you need to pay 5 euro more when you go there. This is not really transparent but the trip is absolutely worthy.

Lovely boat trip - We were very kindly received by the Kingfisher team and brought to the boat at the agreed time. A very nice wooden boat with thatched roof, so you were sheltered from the sun. The Skadar lake is beautiful and it was lovely to sail by boat between the water lilies and water castles with the beautiful mountains in the background. Lovely that we were offered drinks (wine, juice and water) and were offered a sweet snack. The visit to the Kom monastery was a nice interlude. We enjoyed our 3 hour trip and can highly recommend it.

Lots of fun - This was a last minute booking and we don’t regret anything! Easy to find, well sign posted and helpful crew. The guy running our tour was super patient, helpful and fun. We had a really great time and he shared some great knowledge. We didn’t bring snacks or a towel but I’d say if you get peckish you can bring a little snack (a group of people on our tour had a fun blown picnic!) Plenty of wine shared around as well as some local pastries with honey. Great 3hrs spent, the monastery was smaller than I was expecting and the island is RIDDLED with spiders but that’s part of the charm. Would recommend.

Activity to do! - We chose the 3h walk including the walk on Skadar Lake, the visit to Kom Monastery as well as a swimming break. For the visit to the Monastery, a long-sleeved t-shirt and trousers must be provided to access the visit. Note, even without visiting the Monastery, there is a magnificent view of Skadar Lake as well as the National Park. Petits +: very friendly Guide and drinks at discretion.

Mixed between beautiful landscapes and lack of explanations - We had to do the 3 hour ride and as the weather was bad, we finally did the 2 hour ride in a big boat. We were quite disappointed to have had very little explanation from the guides and more specifically about the fauna and flora. We asked questions but we didn’t feel willing to come and tell us more or really answer our questions. The Girl Guide who was present was however very well and gave us some very clear introductions, she was attentive to us and explained to us very well some things about the history of the lake. The landscapes are also very pretty. It is therefore a rather mixed return.
