Great experience despite the bad weather to start. Had a lovely cruise around the edge of the lake to St Jovans Church then cut across and around the other side. Lucky enough to get some beautiful colours through the clouds. Wine or juice on arrival. Very comfortable with lots of room and open air upstairs or enclosed downstairs available. Lovely experience!

Lovely views of Lake Ohrid. A good value. Helpful staff. Easy to find the port and the boat. The addition of champagne or juice was a nice touch. It was chilly so maybe a coffee option in place of champagne.

    Staff was professional and courteous. While the boat was full, I still felt that I was able to have a conversation with my friend without distraction. The boat ride was a good length with both sides being able to see the scenery.

    Its beautiful, the personel is amazing. The music was just not my style. Its weirdly slow jazz music that makes u want to cuddle and go to sleep. I loved it tho.

    Lovely evening in Ohrid.

    Lovely little cruise to do at the end of the holiday. Only downside was the amount of smokers on board. I have asthma so we moved downstairs. This was not a problem though.

    Great value , well organised with a beautiful sunset , and beautiful views of lake orhid , definatley worth the experience

    Beautiful views, minimal champagne. Arrive early

    alexav, Aug 2025
    I arrived at 18.25 - boat already packed! As a solo guest, I was thus sat on a chair opposite a couple. Half the boat were smokers. Had to ask for my glass of champagne, which was only half full. However the views are beautiful and for just 10€, what more could you expect?

    Lovely experience, beautiful views, nice atmosphere

    Nice evening trip

    Anthony_L, Aug 2025
    Lovely boat Armada. Great choice of drinks to purchase and reasonable. Lots of seating but you will be allocated seats, perhaps share a table. Loads of excellent photo opportunities and the skipper will angle views so that both sides of the ship has a great view

    Nice view but bizarre seating arrangement

    Francesco_V, Aug 2025
    View is very nice, however the seating arrangement is quite bizarre. In order to fit as many people as possible, they line up seats at the centre of the boat in a slightly lower level than those sitting on the side of the boat. People sitting at lower level can’t really see anything or enjoy the view.

    A very special trip.

    claire_w, Aug 2025
    Fantastic evening with beautiful views of Ohrid. Very special. Complimentary drink and great bar service.

    Wonderful Sunset Cruise

    Scenic boat ride

    Douglas_M, Jul 2025
    This was a very enjoyable boat tour full of scenic views that helped us make the most of having just one evening in Ohrid. I would highly recommend this experience.

    Taylah_L, Jun 2025
    Really good! Everything was as planned except we came back before the sun fully set. Wish I could have seen Ohrid at night but still a great tour. Nice champagne and staff were super friendly

    Fun

    Jonathan_K, May 2025
    Nice cruise around the coastline, with an opportunity to see the iconic church from another angle. With a free glass of champagne it's a good value to say.

    Very Nice Trip Great view of Ohrid

    Paul_H, Mar 2025
    Seeing Ohrid from the water is a must experience. Great Staff, The boat ride was very relaxing and a fun experience.

    Response from Host, Mar 2025

    Thank you for your kind words 🙏

    A peaceful and very enjoyable experience!

    Sarah_W, Nov 2024
    We booked the cruise at the last minute and, because it was off-season, there was lots of space. The boat was very peaceful, the staff were friendly, and the views were incredible. It lasted the full 1.5 hours, with the option to go inside to warm up if needed. It is above and beyond what I expected for the price, highly recommend!

    Relaxing and perfect sunset cruise .

    Desurathan_N, Oct 2024

    Lovely Sunset cruise

    Lisa_M, Sep 2024
    Had a lovely time cruising on Lake Ohrid, watching beautiful scenery change from day to night whilesipping Champagne. Absolutely stunning. They also serve lovely well priced cocktails. I recommend the Mai Tai 👌 😍 🍸

    Very good value

    Kathryn_H, Sep 2024
    Very good value. Glass of bubbly on board, comfortable trip & relaxing. Saw Ohrid from another angle. Drinks extra payable on board at the bar.

    Worth it

    JessicaDavila, Aug 2024
    It was a lovely experience. Very chill vibe. For the price you cannot beat it. We started about 15 minutes late as they were cleaning up from an earlier ride, but they made up the time and then some, so it was no problem. You can buy tickets at the port but they had to turn some away because the boat was full so I highly recommend booking.

    Sunset cruise - do not miss!

    Heather_M, Aug 2024
    I really recommend this trip as you are able to enjoy the beauty of Ohrid at sunset and then into the early evening. The port is in old town so very convenient. We arrived at 6:40 and were lucky to get a seat on the side so recommend going early for best seat options. Staff very good - you can pay for additional drink / snacks with cash or card

    Nice cruise

    Piia_T, Jul 2024
    Nice cruise. We were there with the kid. It could have been little bit longer. Friendly staff and nice music.

    Memorable experience

    Ljupka_K, Jul 2024
    Amazing experience. We were welcomed by the crew and they helped bring mu daughters stroller to the second floor. They were very polite. The service was great as we received a complementary glass of champagne. Followed by beautiful views on the sunset, it made this cruise a memorable experience for our family. I would book again if I were ever to come visit Ohrid. Book, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you again.

    Great experience
