Enjoyable trip around Skadar Lake - Very enjoyable trip for about 3.5 hrs. Great views of the (North West of Virpazar) side of the Lake. Very reasonable price. Would recommend.

Excellent boat tour on Skadar Lake - Amazing views, capitan Petar was very friendly and kind, he shared a lot of information about the lake. We also got to taste typical red and white wine and also got a snack😋 We also stopped near water lilies to take really beautiful pictures. Almosy at the end of the tour we also stopped in the middle of the lake and were albe to go swimming for a few minutes. It was really nice. Highly recommend.😁

Highlight of holiday - Very professional people to deal with. We decided to book an extra hour when we boarded the private boat for 4 and they were flexible enough to let us do this. We had a lovely, young boat captain who was most obliging. A lovely day; the highlight of our holiday in Montenegro. I would say an unmissable experience. The lake is gorgeous with its bulrushes and lilies.

Best way to spend £13 - 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 throughly recommend this trip!! Braki, if you’re reading this, thank you so much, you are amazing!

Relaxing day on the water - Baki was our friendly captain for this lovely and relaxing excursion. The best boat trips don’t have endless commentary on events and locations which we will forget almost immediately upon hearing, but simply allow you to relax and take in the beauty. No commentary necessary.

Best holiday tour ever! - Can't recommend Kingfisher enough! We went with the 3hr boat tour, that included time to visit a Monastery and lake swimming - there was also complementary drinks (water and wine) as well as fresh Priganice (Montenegrin doughnuts) For the money you pay, this is the best value thing I've done on any holiday. Beautiful scenery, great wildlife. If you sit closer to the driver in the boat, he gives some really helpful commentary about the history and geography of the lake. If you're happy to sit at the front and take in the stunning views of Lake Skadar, you can just sit at the front and take it all in. Additionally, we had to check out of our apartment before we had the tour and the Kingfisher staff held our luggage for us before we were moving to our next destination - so easy and very helpful!

Great experience - I took a 3hour boat ride to the monastery from 4 pm. It was very beautiful. There was also local donuts and wine tasting. The only thing I didn't like so much was the promised swimming in the lake. It was happening in the middle of the lake. I would prefer going somewhere to the coast and swim from there.

A little disappointed - The overall experience left me a bit underwhelmed. The fortress of Lesendro was never pointed out to us or spoken about by the guide. On the website it says you can explore the bird reserve (I assume it meant the whole national park) but there really weren't many birds, not a great variety of species to see, and they were all very far away, hard to see even with binoculars. The monastery Kom, it was quite nice walking around the grounds but the monastery itself was closed, would've been nice to go inside. After the monastery, it was a straight boat drive back to Virpazar for over an hour and that got very boring. I was hoping the guide would stop somewhere to let us go for a swim in the lake, as it says on the website, but he never did! Very disappointing, since that was promised on the itinerary. But with good weather like we had, the lake was beautiful, nice people in charge of the boat cruise, nice boat, the water, wine and homemade doughballs were a really nice touch too.
