Spot a variety of birds such as cormorants, herons, gulls, coots, and kingfishers. Try your luck at finding pelicans, the rare birds featured on the official Lake Skadar National Park logo.
- Lesendro - Referred to as Bishops’ Sorrow, this fortress holds significant historical importance, dating back to the era of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, a key figure in Montenegro’s history. It was strategically located to protect against enemy threats.
Today, Lesendro and its surroundings attract birdwatchers to its rich ecosystem. Cormorants, herons, and gulls are just a few of the vibrant bird species waiting to be discovered.
- Moraca River - Travel near the Morača River, an International Birding Area, and proceed to the three nearby islands.
- Skadar Lake National Park - Experience the captivating nature of Montenegro and its Amazonian-like atmosphere as the tour continues to three wild islands. Marvel at the stunning scenery, where white and yellow water lilies create a continuous carpet across the water. The large, dark green leaves float gracefully among them, forming a mesmerizing tapestry that will leave you in awe.
- Lake Skadar - Take a swim in the fresh, deep-blue waters of Lake Skadar, surrounded by picturesque mountain ranges and the typical Montenegrin countryside. Relish the views on the return journey with a glass of local wine and savor one last deep breath of the lake’s serenity before heading back to Virpazar.

Absolutely brilliant trips - professional service and very good value for money. - Absolutely brilliant trip! Our guide Alex and the captain were very professional and good fun. There are so many boat companies to choose from in Virpazar - I would recommend this one definitely.
We also did the 2 hour bird watching tour which was very good and the captain took us to different parts of the lake that we hadn't seen the day before.

Beautiful lake but terrible guide…. - 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.
