Skaddar Lake - We went on an organised trip via hotel. Home made doughnuts and honey eine onvthe boat. Embarked on a stunning embankment with the restaurant in front of us. Fabulous place and food, family run. Just a magical , beautiful place and you can swim in the lake or sit on the beach or just chill with a beer in the shade like we did

Great views and wine - Easy book online. Safe journey. Beautiful scenery. Delicious wine. Funny captain. What more could you ask for. Make sure you have your swimming gear on for the 20 min swim time diving from the boat.

Lovely trip - We booked in advance online. Parking a little confusing when we got there, but were soon directed as to where to go. Nicholai was our captain. First year of flying solo, but you wouldn't have known. He was entertaining and gave us lots of insights as we went around the beautiful lake Saw lots of birds and loved my dip in the water (getting out was a bit tricky as the ladder is at an angle!). That's me excuse anyway! Stunning trip highly recommended

Beautiful views and very relaxing - This is definitely a must do when your in the area. The views of the lake, mountains and birds are amazing. I can especially recommend the tour at sunset, as a bonus the temperature is really nice then as well

Well worth it - Beautiful trip, incredible lake and scenery. We didn’t learn much from our guide which is why I gave it 4 stars . Still good value though.

Good Experience - It wasn’t hard to find the location to pick up the tickets—parking was available just before the bridge, which made everything easier. The trip started right on time, and overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience. During the boat ride, the guide could have shared a bit more information, as the commentary was quite basic. That said, we still enjoyed ourselves. The welcome wine was a nice touch—and it turned into more than just a glass! Our family ended up sharing a whole bottle, which was a pleasant surprise 😅 We later found out that this isn’t always the case, but we appreciated the captain’s generosity and gave him a good tip. One of the highlights was when the captain stopped at a quiet spot where we could swim for about 15 minutes. It was a lovely experience and added something special to the trip.

Beautiful lake, underwhelming tour - The lake is beautiful, but the excursion itself wasn’t very engaging. Our guide only shared a few insights at four points, and some in our group found it boring. Private tours offer no real advantage over group tours. The lake is crowded with tourists all following the same path, which takes away from the experience. While I don’t regret visiting, it wasn’t as enjoyable or authentic as we had hoped.
