We start the boat trip by passing the small channels of the Crmnica river that lead to the open lake, a large area that offers access to the infinity of the lake and the beautiful spectrum of colors of the sunrise and sunset on the lake.

Here in the distance you can see the other part of the lake that joins Albania, you can see their mountains behind which the sun rises and creates beautiful colors on the lake.

Then, passing under the bridge, you will have a view of the legendary fortress Lesendro, which was built by King Petar II Petrovic Njegos in the 18th century.

We continue our cruise on the Moraca River, where we pass through a small natural bird reserve, here you can see great egrets, gray herons, cormorants and other types of birds in flight and on the water, surrounded by the beautiful colors of sunrise and sunset. You can discover the perfect beauty of nature by passing through small canals carved in reeds.

After crossing these canals, you will discover a huge area of Lake Skadar covered with water lilies, white lotuses and other species depending on the season. This huge area offers an incredible panoramic view of floating plants, with a beautiful spectrum of colors from sunrise and sunset, listening to the sounds of birds and observing nature during the boat ride offers a respite of peace, tranquility and relaxation. By sailing around the three islands known as "Small and Big Cakovica" and "Kamenik", you will have the opportunity to enjoy the wild and unique view of Lake Skadar.
