About this experience
Our tour starts in Virpazar, on our way we first visit the Lesendra fortress, which was a defensive position in the war against the Turks, then we slowly enter the first channels among the water lilies. In this part of the lake, due to the immediate proximity of Virpazar, there are usually more ships in the summer, which is why we continue towards the Amazon part of the lake, where the water is much shallower and therefore a large number of ships cannot enter these channels, which makes them special. After a 30-minute cruise through the Amazon, we continue to the fishing village of Karuc, where we tie up the boat and in a few minutes on foot we reach a beautiful viewpoint, where I (your captain Milan) give you more information about this place. After that, we return to Virpazar.
It is very important for me to note that we go through all narrow channels at minimum speed, and we use the open lake and channels for larger ships for faster movement.

Guests who choose my offer will have the opportunity to pass exactly 16km from Virpazar to Karuc, on the way they will pass many canals, see different species of birds, my favorite part of the lake (Amazon) and eventually reach the fishing village of Karuc. Where will we stop, get off the boat and climb together to the viewpoint from which there is a fantastic view of the village and the access channel, which hides secrets that people can only dream of. After my explanation and taking pictures of the guests at the viewpoint, we return to the boat and go along a completely different channel back towards Virpazar.
