Skadar Lake: picturesque boat tour to Rijeka Crnojevića
» Montenegro » Montenegro » Montenegro
Leave the pier in Virpazar as you glide along a narrow river channel fringed by reeds and willows. Exiting the channel unravels the deep waters of Skadar Lake; faded mountains far away in Albania; and Vranjina - island, proudly standing against the largest lake in southern Europe.
Going left, under the Tanki Rt bridge and through the field of water chestnuts, you will discover the 18th-century fortress Lesendro.
Three nearby islets and the view behind them will help you understand why Skadar Lake is one of the most beautiful places in Montenegro.
Sights to follow will satisfy your traveler's thirst also. As you pass through the picturesque fjord Pavlova strana you will reach Rijeka Crnojevića - an old fisherman's village. Take your time and explore this beautiful spot.
After exploring the village, climb aboard your boat and head back to Virpazar. On the way back, we will stop at a place surrounded by open water and rocky coast, and you will have extra time provided for swimming.
During the tour you will have the opportunity to try local wine.

Rijeka Crnojevica
In ancient times, an important trading route was going through it. The old stone bridge was built because of that fact in the 15th century, yet looks impressive. The first printing house in Southeastern Europe was also in Rijeka. In 1949 the first book on the Slavic language was printed there - Oktoih prvoglasnik (Octoechos of The First Tome). Nowadays, its historical significance, authentic architecture, and beautiful natural surroundings create a perfect ambiance for you to try Montenegrin specialties.
After exploring the village, climb aboard your boat and head back to Virpazar.

This trip is much more of a taxi service with a snack than an informative tour. Our driver didn't talk to us or offer any information apart from answering questions on which birds we were able to see. We sat with amazing scenery for 2 hours on the boat until reaching a lovely scenic village with 3-4 restaurants to get food and a drink for 1 hour. We then headed back via the same route with the occasional stop to take pictures.
We very much enjoyed the trip but do feel that it (along with all other trips of this nature, I don't want this to seem negative just on this provider) is over sells as a tour/cruise. We expected more areas of at least information being offered or to dismount and explore more local areas.
