About this tour

This private sunset cruise is designed for guests who want the lake at its most cinematic moment. We head out in the late afternoon, when the light turns soft and golden, the water becomes calmer and the whole landscape slows down.

It is perfect for couples, small groups, relaxed photo sessions or simply enjoying the quiet side of Skadar Lake in a more intimate atmosphere.

We sail through canals and water-lily fields, stop for a swim in the middle of the lake and enjoy homemade Montenegrin drinks and snacks while the sun goes down behind the mountains.

Because sunset changes throughout the year, the exact departure time is arranged individually after you book your date. Once the date is reserved, we contact you to confirm the final timing and trip details.
