Additional Information

Discover the world-famous bird sanctuary at Lake Skadar, a picturesque spot that enchants birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts globally. This adventure promises an awe-inspiring experience, providing a window into the vibrant birdlife!

Our Approach:

The group will gather in Virpazar early in the morning. This is the ideal time for birdwatching as the lake is tranquil, and the natural world is just beginning to stir.

“Early,” you might say? Inform us of your preference for coffee or tea, and we’ll ensure you’re alert and ready.

Staying warm is also important. Bring along your jumpers and sweaters, and we’ll provide a blanket for extra comfort – just in case.

We’ll supply books about the birds you’ll encounter and share stories about the landmarks around Lake Skadar.

Binoculars will be available to enhance your birdwatching experience and observe their behaviors more closely.

The tour will last around two hours, after which you’ll be returned to Virpazar.

Peace and quiet at the lake… - This tour starts at an hour most tourist are still waking up, so it is lovely peaceful and quiet. We were lucky to see some kingfishers and a pelican. The guide is timely, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend! For more reviews, check out the company “Kingfisher”; very positive and helpful reviews.

Fantastic tour in a beautiful natural setting - We had been recommended several boat tours on Lake Skadar prior to going but Kingfisher came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The boat is comfortable with plenty of room (and shade) to enjoy the two hour tour on Lake Skadar. If you are interested in nature and wildlife the early morning trip is for you - two hours is plenty of time to see the highlights without it becoming too much. Coffee/ tea and a snack is provided during the tour and the guide helped us to spot plenty of species of bird and wader as well as talking to us about the history of the lake and its strategic importance. A very enjoyable experience and well worth signing up to with Kingfisher.
