Booking and prices
Book online in a couple of minutes or write to us on WhatsApp. Prices are per boat, not per person, so a family or small group shares one price: the Canyon of River Crnojevića starts around €58, the Amazon Classic Tour is €110, the Amazon Boat Safari €147.20 and the Complete Skadar Lake Adventure €337.80. You reserve now and pay on the day, by cash or card, with free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.
Timing, weather and duration
Tours run from 40 minutes up to a full day. Early morning and late afternoon give the calmest water, the best light and the most active birds. In high season book a day or two ahead; in July and August the popular morning slots go first. If the weather turns unsafe we reschedule or refund in full.
On the boat
Every tour is private and guided by a local captain from the family that has fished and worked this water for generations. There is a swim stop in the warm months, shade on board, and a digital guidebook included with every active tour so you know what you are looking at. Children are welcome; life jackets in children's sizes are on board.
- Bring: swimwear, towel, sun cream, hat, water, camera.
- Included: private boat, local captain, digital guidebook, swim stop.
- Not included: €5 national park fee per person over 14.
Where tours start
All tours depart directly at Restaurant Savina Luka in Rijeka Crnojevića, where the boats are moored and parking is free and private. Rijeka Crnojevića is about 25 minutes from Podgorica, 20 from Cetinje and 50 from Kotor or Budva. Other pick-up points can be arranged, and Virpazar is possible for selected tours.

Frequently asked questions
Are the tours private or shared?
Private. You book the whole boat for your group, and the price is per boat.
Will I see Dalmatian pelicans?
Often, especially spring and autumn. They are wild birds, so nothing is guaranteed — but the lake holds one of Europe's few breeding colonies.
Do I need to book in advance?
In July and August, yes — a day or two ahead for morning slots. Off-peak we can often take you the same day.
Which tour should I choose?
Short on time: the Canyon tour. Best all-rounder: Amazon Classic. Wildlife and reed channels: Amazon Boat Safari. A whole day on the lake: the Complete Skadar Lake Adventure.
