Skadar Lake National Park: Guided Boat Tour to Kom Monastery - Starting in Virpazar beside the central bridge

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,344 reviews · 3 hours · from $37Our pick

Review of Kingfisher’s 3-hour Skadar Lake boat tour to Kom Monastery, with wine, wildlife, frescoes, swimming, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“Would highly recommend this tour. We were a party of 6 (including kids and grandparents) and had a private boat with a brilliant guide who was knowledgeable - just a young student who told us all about the birds, history and was so patient when we overran in time as we loved jumping in the lake so much at the end! Loved the local wine and breakfast doughnuts too! Great value for 3 hours.”
