★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 49 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $38

Review of Kingfisher’s Skadar Lake boat tour to Kom Monastery, with birdlife, water lilies, swimming, local wine, and practical planning tips.

“We had an absolutely fantastic time. The boat tour was amazing, the lake is so beautiful. They give you a leaflet that explains everything and provide you with donuts from Montenegro and local wine (lots) which was delicious and you could just help yourself! It is one of the best £13 we’ve ever spent. Plus Braki (our wonderful tour guide - not sure if that’s how you spell it) was the most wonderful person. He found us waiting for the bus and gave us a lift to the train station as the bus stop seemed non-existent. Him and his brother were such lovely people and really engaging. Once again, I…”

Review of a private two-hour Skadar Lake boat cruise from Virpazar, with birdlife, Lesendro Fortress, swimming, wine, and practical tips.

“Lake Skadar is the largest freshwater lake in the Balkans. We booked online with Victor - very easy. The meeting point description was precise. We were escorted by Ivana to our boat and Captain Boban. It was a beautiful autumn day with mild temperature, blue sky, and sunshine. Ivana spoke excellent English, but unfortunately the captain did not and Ivana did not accompany us on the boat ride. The boat was comfortable with seat pads (a nice touch) and a covered area if one wanted to be out of the sun. The engine was surprisingly quiet, which added to the enjoyment of the scenery. We saw lots of birds, but…”

“Where do I start?! Tanja and Igor were both fantastic! Tanja contacted me prior to the tour via whatsapp to confirm food and timings. As I follow a vegan diet she arranged the most incredible lunch for me and my friend. The tour was so personal, Tanja was giving us her authentic experiences of Montenegro - which is so important when visiting another country and soaking up another culture. And as a bonus, she's hilarous too! So much to learn from her. And Igor equally - we went to Igors house on Skadar lake and had some fresh springwater - it was incredible to see the house he's building from…”

7.Private Skadar Lake National Park Tour with Wooden Boat and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $80

Review of a private Skadar Lake boat tour from Virpazar, with birdwatching, Lesendro Fortress, swimming, wine, pricing, and practical tips.

“Lake Skadar is beautiful and worth the trip from the port. We enjoyed being out on the water in a wooden boat but unfortunately our guide spent most of his time on his cell phone. It was more like a boat ride rather than a "tour" - and we had to ask questions and then he would answer but rarely did he give us any information about the NP or the area on his own. That was really disappointing especially after paying more for a private tour.”

Cruise Lake Skadar from Virpazar through quiet canals, bird-filled waterways, island views, refreshments, and a lake swim.

“Finding Boat Milica Tours was one of the highlights of my trip to Montenegro. Sorting my first trip out on extremely short notice was super easy and friendly and Ksenjia was very helpful. I went on a group tour for 2 hours which went by too fast thanks to the stunning scenery, loads of birds and the knowledgable guide Vladimir. As Skadar Lake is a very unique place I decided to also book a private 3 hour birdwatching tour as the prices are unbeatable and because of the very positive first experience with Jelena and her team. I was lucky enough to again have Vladimir as captain and it was…”
