Full description

Drift around water lilies and reeds as you kayak through one of the biggest bird reserves in Europe. Spot Skadar Lake’s 270 bird species, including cormorants, gulls, and squacco. Take in the natural beauty at your own pace with one-hour, two-hour, and whole-day booking options.

Begin your adventure in Virpazar with a basic safety and route briefing. Paddle through the open lake to a bridge that connects two villages, Virpazar and Vranjina, known as Little Venice. Take a break for fresh fish soup at the local restaurant if you’re feeling peckish before heading to Fort Lesendro. 

Glide past the bird sanctuary and around the islands of Cakovica and Kamenik. Lounge in the sun at the local beaches and swim in the clear lake waters.

Très bon en kayak solitaire. Prévoir minimum 3h le temps de sortir du chenal et retour.

Hat alles gut geklappt. Boote sind leicht zu fahren, man sollte sich aber eine Sitzunterlage mitnehmen, sonst hat man hinterher einen nassen Arsch, wenn man hinten sitzt.
