Things to do around Lake Skadar

Take a personal boat trip of Lake Skadar

Taking a private boat trip is one of the very best things to do on Lake Skadar. I went to in late summer and it was the perfect way to see the lake at its most serene. There are lots of boat trips to select from but select sensibly. This is an experience you’ll wish to solve.

our boat trip I booked a 2.5-hour personal tour. Milan, our captain, has actually spent years on the lake and got along, well-informed and clearly passionate about the lake, however without attempting to give us the tough sell, which I actually valued. The fact it was a personal trip indicated I might customise the route, costs longer in the areas I wanted to linger in, that made it feel extremely unique. Our fast boat was shallow sufficient to slide through channels thick with waterlilies, the ideal setting for finding kingfishers, hawks and cormorants.

I have actually done great deals of boat journeys, from speedboat tours in Kotor Bay to leisurely cruises in Greece and the UK, but the Lake Skadar boat journey was especially special for its personalised technique. It’s one of the very best things I did in the entire of Montenegro.

If you’re travelling on a budget, there are cheaper group tours offered from around EUR20 per person. If you can make your budget plan stretch though, I thoroughly advise scheduling a personalised trip.

Something I ‘d avoid is the Pavlova Strana boat trips. They’re very long, you invest a lot of time just getting to that area, and the landscapes is rather recurring for much of the journey. It might be frustrating compared to an experience where you get to check out various areas of the lake.
