Highlights
  • Lesendro - Lesendro is a peninsula and fortress on Skadar lake, located near the village Vranjina. The fortress was built in the 18th century. It is located on the peninsula that was an island until the construction of the Belgrade - Bar railway line. During the reign of Bishop Peter II Petrović-Njegoš, it served as a defense against Turkish attacks.

Tour plan: Departure is from Virpazar. Cruising begins through a beautiful little channel surrounded by various plants and birds, after which we come to a bigger part of the lake. By boat we pass under the bridge which is part of the main road Podgorica – Bar. Lesendro is located just behind the bridge.

Just after Lesendro, we are cruising through bird reservation and narrow channels surrounded by water lilies, reeds and water nuts, as well as cruising through river Moraca.

After that you will see big and small Cakovica islands where we will make a break for swimming - we call it wild swimming. After swimming we will go back to Virpazar.

Blissful and impressive boat trip at sunset - Wow, wow, wow, blissful boat trip with sunset ❤️. Super enjoyed, hugely friendly welcome, our skipper was George, so passionate. Knew to tell us a lot about the fauna and flora, but also about the goings-on in and around montenegro and the necessary history stories. Besides being a good captain, he is also an excellent photographer, super nice pictures. Thx George!

Unforgettable Private Boat Tour on Lake Skadar - Our private boat tour on Lake Skadar was an exceptional experience and truly one of the highlights of our stay in Montenegro. The entire trip was very well organized, and we were fortunate to see a pelican and several other bird species, adding to the magic of the day. A special thanks to Boban, who was an excellent guide and captain, and to Ivona, who was our point of contact during the booking process. Both were incredibly professional and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Eagle Boat & Kayak for anyone considering a tour on Lake Skadar.

Most wonderful private boat trip on Lake Skadar - Wow! This excellent family-owned business is the one to use (of MANY choices) when taking a private boat ride on Lake Skadar. The boat was very comfortable with a shaded area and an open area in the front. We saw many species of birds and plants, and our guide was very knowledgeable about them – he could also say the names in several languages. We saw many birds including gorgeous white pelicans. The views were amazing. We got to swim in the refreshing water, and we both got to drive the boat. We also enjoyed juice, soda, and a glass of wine onboard.  We absolutely loved our personable guide George. He was fun and knowledgeable-- we can’t say enough good things about him. We felt like we met a friend. Our contact with Ivona before the cruise and after was also 5-star. Ivona helped us reschedule when one of our party became ill on the day of our scheduled cruise. She was very helpful, kind, and pleasant.

Boat tour. - Our captain Mitar brightened our arrival in Montenegro. Knowing the birds and gently stopping by them delighted us. In fact, when he approached the Pelicans, he just turned off the engine and completed the event. Heartfelt recommendation ❤️
