Navigate tranquil waterways, explore secluded coves, and encounter the lake's abundant wildlife, including over 270 species of birds.

Two red sit-on-top kayaks on Skadar Lake with mountain backdrop — Kamenik Island tour Where Lilies Reign

Our expert guides will lead you to hidden gems, where you can paddle through narrow channels lined with dense reeds and discover the lake's mystical beauty.

If we're lucky, we'll see Dalmatian pelicans, egrets, cormorants, various ducks, and even a pair of swans along the route.

Navigation Map

  • 1

    Vranjina Village

    Our journey begins in the tranquil and lesser-known village of Vranjina — a peaceful gateway to the lake, untouched by mass tourism.

  • 2

    Montenegrin Amazon

    We enter Skadar Lake via the Moraca River — a winding waterway often called the “Montenegrin Amazon” for its narrow channels and lush banks.

  • 3

    Into the Open Waters

    A slim channel gradually widens, opening into the vast expanse of the lake — a slow reveal of water, sky, and distant silhouettes of mountains.

  • 4

    Break at Kamenik Island

    Kamenik is surrounded by thick aquatic vegetation and lily-covered shallows. Here we pause for a swim and a moment to soak in the calm beauty of Skadar Lake National Park.

  • 5

    Final Passage Through the Reeds

    On the way back, we glide through a narrow corridor of reeds — silent, enclosed, and close enough to touch with your paddle — before the lake opens up again toward the village.

Who is a guide

We’re thoughtful about who we send out on the water — it’s not just about skill, but presence.

On Skadar, your guide is more than a paddler. They notice the birds, tell the stories, and give space to the quiet.

Kayak guide holding a paddle on the shore of Skadar Lake

Anton Tougarin

Anton has been drawn to an active life since childhood — football, martial arts, swimming, survival schools. He didn’t just try things, he dove straight into whatever felt exciting and a little risky.

His paddling journey began not with calm waters, but with cold mountain rivers, rain, and real fear. But in that rush of current and fog, he found a deep love for the water. Now Anton leads kayak tours on Lake Skadar, turning his rugged experience into calm, beautiful adventures.

Fun fact: Anton throws axes professionally — and does it with the same confidence he brings on the water. The only ones more reliable? Maybe the Baywatch crew.

Stepan Demchenko

Stepan grew up by the sea and has spent most of his life on the water — first working with dolphins for over a decade, then shifting into kayak and SUP guiding.

For the past three years, he's led small groups along remote coastal routes he knows by heart — always tuned in to the weather, the water, and the rhythm of the team. His style blends solid technical skills with a deep feel for the environment and group dynamics.

Red Cross certified as a lifeguard, he keeps a steady focus on safety, bringing a calm, professional presence to every trip — and always a story or two along the way.
