The Wild Route – Skadar’s Hidden Amazon

If you're looking for a Skadar Lake boat tour that’s completely different from the rest, this is it. We’re taking you far away from the usual routes, deep into a wilder, untouched part of the Skadar lake — a network of narrow, winding canals that feel more like the Amazon than Montenegro.

Locals sometimes call this part of the lake “Skadar’s Amazon”, and once you’re cruising through the lily-covered waters with reeds towering around you, you’ll understand why. It’s quiet, green, and full of life — like stepping into another world.

This Skadar Lake boat tour is all about discovery. With an English-speaking guide on board, we’ll show you places most tourists never reach. You'll learn about the unique ecosystem of Skadar Lake National Park, local traditions, and the incredible wildlife that lives here.

Skadar lake is a true paradise for birdwatching, and our boat tour gives you a great chance to see some of the most iconic birds that call Skadar Lake home. Keep your eyes open for:Dalmatian pelican (Europe’s largest and rarest pelican), Pygmy cormorant, Glossy ibis, Kingfishers and Whiskered terns.

But it’s not just about birds. As we move through Skadar Lake’s hidden canals, you’ll pass endless fields of water lilies, ancient islands, and peaceful corners where the modern world disappears. It’s the kind of place where something new waits around every bend — whether it’s a bird in flight, a narrow water passage you’d never expect, or just the stillness of nature.

One of the highlights of the boat tour is reaching one of the clearest rivers that flows into Skadar Lake. The water here is fresh and transparent — perfect for a refreshing swim, especially on a hot day. Bring your swimsuit and enjoy a dip surrounded by nothing but nature.

We’ll also pass traditional fishing villages, abandoned island fortresses Lesendro, and quiet inlets perfect for sightseeing and photography. Throughout the boat tour, we offer cold refreshments on board, so you can relax and enjoy the views in comfort.

This is a Skadar Lake boat tour for those who want more than the usual highlights. It’s for travelers who love nature, who enjoy slow exploration, and who want to truly experience the wild beauty of Skadar lake. Whether you're traveling as a couple, a family, or on your own, this journey shows you a side of Skadar Lake that few ever get to see.
