Fantastic trip with George - Great trip and fantastic guide, George. We had two kids 10 & 11 who were amazed by the tour and swimming in the sea. The blue caves were great and james bond music in the submarine tunnels were nice touches. Recommend for anyone looking for a good trip and worth the money.

Wonderful boat trip and nice wine! - Excellent relaxing tour to experience Lake Skadar and see it’s beauty. Our tour guide was very knowledgable on the different wildlife of the lake. Very nice local wines to try onboard - the nicest we had during our time in Montenegro.

Lovely afternoon out on Lake Skadar - Lovely little trip out. The town of Virpazar doesn’t have much else to do so make sure you book an appropriate time. There wasn’t any benefit to me booking in advance in the end and all the tours seemed to be the same price on arrival anyway. Regardless, really nice hosts, lovely views and informative guides.

Very chill and friendly, amazing value. - We arrived in Virpazar as a short day trip from Podgorica with no specific plan. As we explored the tiny village for a bit, we found Kingfisher's stand and inquired about the timetable for tours. The girl at the stand gave us very clear info and we decided to follow her suggestion and booked the short boat ride that departed at 13.30. At the agreed time, we followed the captains onto the traditional wooden boat (very cute) and we made ourselves comfortable. Now, from reading opinions on similar activities I have seen a few lukewarm opinions mentioning that they expected loads of explanations about the lake, fauna, flora, monastery etc. If what you're looking for is a talking Wikipedia article while you listen, I don't think you'll be satisfied here. However, if you're like me and enjoy real human conversations with local people and learn about their experiences, lifestyle, way of seeing life etc, you will definitely enjoy talking to the guide/captain. (I can't for the life of me remember his name so I apologise for that my friend!). We had extensive chats about wine, sports, languages and balkan politics - and those are the things that I value in a any kind of tourism professional. I asked lots of questions and he was always happy to give me answers and personal anecdotes. The trip itself was very chill and relaxing, great for a bit of introspection and grabbing some pics. We saw a few cool looking birds (I'm not an expert) and there was complementary local wine to sip on while enjoying the views (which again, I really value). All in all, a very enjoyable experience great value for money. Absolutely recommended!

Many kinds of water lilies - It is a peaceful lake with lots of water lilies and birds. The boat trip took 2 hours. It was very hard to find a parking spot.

Not wooden boat, simple ride around lake - Signed up for this activity because description said it would be on a wooden boat, but instead it was a big metal boat with no traditional meaning. No much of a “guided” tour and mostly just a ride around the lake. Wasn’t much to see so perhaps could have spent the time doing something else.

beautiful lake, disappointing guide - Tour was very well organized (meeting point, check-in, boarding) and stuff was very friendly. However, not much guidance. I was hoping for some information about fauna and flora in this beautiful scenery, but nothing was said. Basically tour guide wasn't speaking much, more interested in own mobile phone. We learned where the restaurant is, where the old prison was and how much fisherman earns. That's all during 2h tour. This was very disappointing, as well the warm drinks served during the boat tour (warm wine or warm juice). Therefore overall experience I rate 2/5.
