Such an amazing experience, travelling on a wooden boat. Captain Nicolai was very helpful, talked us through the whole journey about the history of the lake and the surroundings. We were welcomed on the boat with drinks and local wine.
Kingfisher is a well trusted company, highly recommended.

Excellent 3 hour tour with lots of information. Give some time after the boat trip to explore as there’s a path for walking towards the winery. Not a lot of information available on getting to the lake without a car so be prepared for taxi costs.

Too long, and not a lot of explanations. An hour trip would suffice. In other similar tours the guide has more to explain and make the tour interesting.

Beautiful trip, incredible lake and scenery.
We didn’t learn much from our guide which is why I gave it 4 stars . Still good value though.

Easy book online. Safe journey. Beautiful scenery. Delicious wine. Funny captain. What more could you ask for. Make sure you have your swimming gear on for the 20 min swim time diving from the boat.

It wasn’t hard to find the location to pick up the tickets—parking was available just before the bridge, which made everything easier. The trip started right on time, and overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience.
During the boat ride, the guide could have shared a bit more information, as the commentary was quite basic. That said, we still enjoyed ourselves. The welcome wine was a nice touch—and it turned into more than just a glass! Our family ended up sharing a whole bottle, which was a pleasant surprise 😅 We later found out that this isn’t always the case, but we appreciated the captain’s generosity and gave him a good tip.
One of the highlights was when the captain stopped at a quiet spot where we could swim for about 15 minutes. It was a lovely experience and added something special to the trip.

lovely quiet boat with a very nice captain/guide. His English was excellent (Nicholas) and he was very friendly. Talked about history and wildlife, pointed out birds for us to see. Unlimited wine, water or soft drinks.

Lovely cruise experience, very nice wine and the views, the captain was really nice he gave us good information about the wildlife and the landscape and the history. The operator company was really helpful and we had a problem with the arrival time and the they helped us through it after Viator customer service were saying they couldn’t do anything to help because of the 24h policy.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you, Carina, for your lovely review! We're happy you enjoyed the cruise, wine, and the captain’s insights about the wildlife and history. We're also glad we could assist you with your arrival time and make your experience smoother. Hope to see you again soon!

Amazing!! Skadar Lake is definitely a must see while you're in Montenegro. It was spectacular and really easy to get to by car. Our guide Nickoli was super nice and knowledgeable about the area and the different types of birds we were seeing. He also took some nice photos of my friend and me! Definitely reccomend this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2025

We enjoyed our boat trip with our captain Nikolai. We can totally recommend, though we would have chosen a longer trip than 2 hours with better weather and more time, as the lake is stunning!!
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Dear Juli, thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts. We are glad you enjoyed your Skadar lake boat tour with us ♡

If you're seeking a serene escape at Lake Skadar, we recommend the two-hour tour led by a professional crew. This experience offers a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration at an excellent price.

Dear Michelle, thank you for your review ♡

Lovely serene trip. The boat wasn’t over crowded and we were given free drinks on board. The guide was lovely and friendly and very good at taking pictures of everyone, and we stopped for 20 minutes to swim in a quiet area in the middle of the lake. Highly recommend this very reasonably priced trip.
Byron_B, Jul 2024
Anna & Nikolai looked after us really well and took us to some great spots. Anna showed great knowledge and her English was excellent. We were able to swim and we didn’t feel rushed. Really recommend this tour, with refreshments.
Jennifer_H, Jun 2024
Excellent experience. We had such a great time and thought Ana was amazing. Our family loved it and will never forget the experience.

Friendly guide, lovely scenery, glass of wine. What’s not to like?
A tour well worth considering as long as the weather is reasonably kind, which it was for us.
Jimena_P, Apr 2024
The guide was really nice and the information was so interesting, the boat was also nice and so peaceful. I really liked.
Diana_C, Jul 2023
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.
Daniel_D, Jul 2023
It was really amazing. Wonderful views and Ana was very kind with us. She gave us a lot of recommendations in Montenegro like restaurants, clubs, natural parks… and so on. We really recommend it :)

Extraordinaire... Bien plus que mes attentes.S'y rendre est facile depuis la gare en bus. Mais revenir est terriblement difficile. Il n'y a pas de bus. Il n'y a pas de train. J'ai dû prendre un taxi pour m'emmener en ville. L'équipage très gentil.

À faire ! Magnifique excursion sur le lac ! La guide Nadia était très sympathique
Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir le soleil qui rendait tout plus magnifique !

Paseo muy agradable por el lago en un paisaje bonito y con un baño en el lago muy refrescante . El guía fue muy amable y el trayecto de 2 h fue muy adecuado
Shilan_A, Aug 2024
En annerledes sjø, livlig, mange fuglearter, rolig og opplevelsesrik. Svømmemulighet midt i det klare og kalde vannet. En fantastisk anledning for dem som elsker å ta bilder. Guiden var hyggelig og behjelpelig. Presis tidsplan. Anbefaler!
Michel_R, Jul 2024
Gewoon heel mooi en een goede maatschappij. Iva was super leuk. Gewoon goed. Met zijn 5en (2 volwassenen 3 kids) waren wij inclusief natuurpark 64 euro kwijt.
