General info

Straddling the border between Montenegro and Albania, Skadar Lake is the largest freshwater lake in the Balkans and one of the largest in Europe. Two-thirds of the lake belong to Montenegro, and thanks to its location, it is a home to a vast number of wildlife species, being the largest bird reserve in Europe.

Take a relaxing private 4-hour boat cruise on Skadar lake, known for being the last remaining breeding ground of the endangered Dalmatian Pelican and Pygmy Cormorant. It’s also a key resting place for birds migrating from northern Europe to Africa.

Overview of the tour

PRIVATE SKADAR LAKE BOAT TOUR

KARUČ FISHING VILLAGE BOAT TOUR

The cruise takes you through a beautiful channel of lotus flowers and various other plants. Passing under the rail bridge Podgorica – Bar, we sail onward to the beautiful village Karuč.
Karuč village - a small fishing village located on the shores of Skadar Lake. Like any other village on the Skadar lake, it's tiny in size, but giant in terms of history and nature. A very popular summertime dining spot, Karuč is the perfect option for authentic cuisine lovers and offers spectacular views.
Karuč was a temporary village from where fishermen used to go fishing as the Karučko oko (Karuč' Eye) was known for the abundance of bleak. There are still ruins of the houses that the fishermen were using to storage their nets and other equipment.
Petar II Petrović Njegoš, Montenegro’s greatest ruler and poet, even built his winter home there, to enjoy the natural beauty and mild winter climate of this place.
