Lake Skadar is the largest freshwater lake in the Balkans. We booked online with Victor - very easy. The meeting point description was precise. We were escorted by Ivana to our boat and Captain Boban. It was a beautiful autumn day with mild temperature, blue sky, and sunshine. Ivana spoke excellent English, but unfortunately the captain did not and Ivana did not accompany us on the boat ride. The boat was comfortable with seat pads (a nice touch) and a covered area if one wanted to be out of the sun. The engine was surprisingly quiet, which added to the enjoyment of the scenery. We saw lots of birds, but primarily cormorants. A few egrets, herons, and one pelican. We got some nice photos and videos. We also passed by an old Ottoman fortress and associated prison on a small dot of land that was previously an island and now accessible via a causeway. The captain tried to provide information, but we had trouble getting much out of it because of his limited English. Also, about 20 minutes into the tour, he lit up a cigarette. We were struck by the high proportion of Montenegrins that smoke, but, for goodness sake, this is a boat tour of a lake that is part of a national park! I asked him to extinguish the cigarette, and he did so cordially. We were disappointed by the amount of trash (mostly plastics, bottles, and the like) that were floating in the lake and collecting on the shore. Again, given that this is a national park, we were very disappointed having to look at the trash. So, overall I would say this was a worthwhile excursion at a reasonable price. It would have been much more interesting with a fluent English-speaking guide. If you go, I recommend doing your own extensive online searching ahead of time so that you won’t miss the interesting facts.

Peter was very kind...

Most wonderful private boat trip on Lake Skadar

Wow! This excellent family-owned business is the one to use (of MANY choices) when taking a private boat ride on Lake Skadar. The boat was very comfortable with a shaded area and an open area in the front. We saw many species of birds and plants, and our guide was very knowledgeable about them – he could also say the names in several languages. We saw many birds including gorgeous white pelicans. The views were amazing. We got to swim in the refreshing water, and we both got to drive the boat. We also enjoyed juice, soda, and a glass of wine onboard.  We absolutely loved our personable guide George. He was fun and knowledgeable-- we can’t say enough good things about him. We felt like we met a friend. Our contact with Ivona before the cruise and after was also 5-star. Ivona helped us reschedule when one of our party became ill on the day of our scheduled cruise. She was very helpful, kind, and pleasant.
