What you can expect

Uncountable shades of green as far as the eye can see. Lost fisherman village going deep into history, which has been kept for ages and almost taken back from nature itself. This is the village of Karuč, hidden in forests of wild pomegranate trees covered in orange flowers, which in autumn will mature into delicious fruits. On our way back, we will cruise to the pristine wilderness called the Amazon, full of narrow channels and surrounded by dense canopies of vegetation.

We will be waiting for you in the charming old town of Virpazar. Our lovely team member will guide you to the river channel, where an experienced, friendly, English-speaking captain will pick you up.

Feel the rush of joy while you reveal the unseen beauties of this truly magnificent landscape. As we reach the open lake, enjoy the spectacular view of mountains separating the lake from the Adriatic Sea and the greatness of the lake lying under the peaks of the Albanian alps in the background on the other side. Along the way, we will pass the impressive fortress of Lessendro, which was built in the 18th century and is surrounded by continuous fields of water chestnuts. While we dive into the channel of the Morča River and reach the bird reserve through a narrow channel, you will get the opportunity to watch birds in their natural habitat.

Passing a breathtaking landscape with many isolated islands, we will soon reach the endless water lily fields and turn into a narrow channel, which will take us deeper into the dreamy wilderness. Hills covered in wild vegetation will reveal bends in the riverscape and slowly uncover the village of Karč, rising above the cleanest water source called Eye - Karučko oko. We will make a stop to explore the village and walk to the panoramic viewpoint, where you can take beautiful pictures.

On the way back, we will take channels of Amazon. A narrow channels surrounded by dense canopies of vegetation will give you the impression of an Amazon-like riverine landscape. Admire wild vegetation, light play, and the sounds of wildlife. The boat is adjusted to reach low-depth parts of the lake, which allows us to show you the most beautiful and hidden channels.

We are a small family business whose generations have lived and survived on Lake Skadar. Our mission is not only to show you the lake but also to teach you about nature and wildlife and share with you our love for this amazing place. We are lucky enough to call it our home.

Local wine and juice is included in price. Swimming is possible upon request.
