What to Expect

Step aboard for a peaceful boat trip at sunset on the stunning Lake Skadar, and uncover some of Montenegro’s hidden gems as the sky turns golden. Sip on complimentary drinks as you cruise through calm waters, with the soft evening light casting a magical glow over the landscape.

Your experience begins in the quaint fishing village of Virpazar, where our warm and welcoming crew will greet you for a smooth check-in on our traditional wooden boat. As we set sail, you’ll be treated to a breathtaking view of the Albanian Alps and Vranjina Island, their silhouettes even more striking in the warm hues of sunset. The journey’s first highlight is the historic Fortress of Lesendro, once known as the "Key of Lake Skadar." Bathed in golden light, this timeless structure offers a glimpse into Montenegro’s dramatic past.

As the sun dips lower, we glide into Lake Skadar’s bird sanctuary, a haven for over 280 species. Whether you're an avid birdwatcher or simply a lover of nature, the sight of birds soaring across glowing meadows is a moment to treasure — and to photograph! You’ll enjoy a glass of local wine as the lake reflects the changing colours of the sky. On the way back, take in the tranquil shoreline views as twilight sets in. Before we return to Virpazar, there’s also time for a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters — the perfect end to an unforgettable evening on Lake Skadar.
