Yes, during warmer months (typically May–September), the boat stops at a clean, safe area where you can take a dip in Lake Skadar’s refreshing waters. Don’t forget your swimwear and towel!
Absolutely. The tour includes light walking and scenic drives, and the boat cruise is gentle. However, Biogradska Gora involves some trail walking, so sturdy shoes are recommended. The pace is relaxed and suitable for most fitness levels.
Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers. In summer, bring sunscreen, a hat, swimwear, and a refillable water bottle. In spring or autumn, a light jacket is useful for the mountain areas.
Meals are not included, but there are opportunities to buy snacks or lunch at local stops. Your guide will suggest authentic local spots in Virpazar or en route.
No passport is required, as the entire tour stays within Montenegro. However, carrying an ID is always a good idea when traveling.
There’s a high chance! Lake Skadar is a protected national park and one of Europe’s top birdwatching sites. While sightings depend on the season, pelicans, herons, and cormorants are common in spring and summer.
