About this tour

Enjoy the relaxed traditional wooden boat tour and see the Monastery Vranjina of Skadar Lake. Feel like a traditional Montenegrin family on their Sunday excursion plus visit a cultural and historical highlight.

See Monastery Vranjina, one of the best known monasteries in Montenegro. Views? Incredible – 360 degrees over the whole area, from the Prokletije mountains to the borders of Albania.

And by the way: you are on one of the so called "Sophia Loren Hills" – guess why?

Sail through channels, beds of water lilies and cross several rivers before the middle-of-the-lake swim stop.
